No need to attach device(s) to the clubhead or shaft. No need to adjust settings-it's ready to use.

It has proven to be the tool of choice for professional golf instructors and clubmakers.The Swing Speed Radar with Tempo Timer compliments tempo training by measuring a golfers' actual Tempo Time consistency, from club takeaway to ball contact, to one hundredth of a second.The Swing Speed Radar provides real time velocity feedback that assists players and coaches/instructors in measuring performance improvement and in trouble shooting swing mechanics.However, over-swinging can produce inferior results, 'it's not how hard you swing but how well you swing'. Increased swing speed corresponds to increased ball distance.Players can measure their swing speed, determine their speed for optimum performance, monitor their swing consistency and select the club characteristics that best suit their swing.When used on the driving range, or during practice rounds, the immediate feedback of these two inputs provided by the SSRTT, along with the ball flight characteristics, will help establish a benchmark by which a golfer can monitor swing performance, optimize swing mechanics, and monitor swing consistency. The Swing Speed Radar with Tempo Timer (SSRTT) is basically two instruments in one.

But the frequency shift may be so large that it exceeds the bandwidth of a typical ultrasonic transducer (and I mean a 'naked' transducer, not one of the complete ultrasonic modules used for 'automatic' range/echo measurements).The most affordable, portable instrument available for measuring clubhead swing speed and tempo time PS: I don't think anybody has suggested 'acoustic' doppler shift. But these methods are perhaps rather above the basic/elementary levels of PICaxe programming.

However, there are various solutions, for example a hardware 'flip-flop' (there's even one in most PICaxe chips) or using 'Timer1' in gated mode.

The snag is that a basic PICaxe can only measure (to us resolution) the width of a single pulse, not the delay between events on two different pins. This potentially avoids rise/fall/delay time discrepancies of a single sensor. not tapered) of course.Ī better (potential) solution is to use two beams, spaced a known distance apart and measure the time between them being broken (by the club head, or anything else). That does require the shaft diameter to be measured and be measureable (e.g. Yes, I was goiing to suggest measuring the time that the shaft breaks an IR beam, which PICaxe can measure to 10us resolution (or maybe 8x faster with a higher clock rate). The barcode idea has given us some food for thought.

We're not looking for circuits,answers, or code - That's his job! - Just some 'feasibility discussion' from people who might have done something similar.

From his research I think he has worked out that a pro golf swing is in excess of 100mph (which would be a ball park figure of 45m/s maximum speed reading) - I guess he just wants to know if the picaxe in principle is capable of timing an event this fast, over a distance of (again ball park) but 300mm (this would be the last portion of the swing).

The student is from an engineering background at GCSE, not electronics but is learning fast. Nothing too fancy, just a demonstrate-able prototype (This is only AS level at present). Essentially, he wants to measure the maximum speed, which I assume would be of most interest at the point the club is about to hit the ball. I've set him the task of finding out the best method (I've got some ideas myself for how he could aproach this, but I haven't done anything with PICAXE yet using high speed timing, so I'd be experimenting as much as him). Howdy, I'm the O.Ps teacher! - Just chiming in before it gets too technically out of hand.
