1. A system for use by a user and for use with a golf club, the system comprising:
- a first shoe for being worn by the user and comprising at least a first sensor configured to detect a first shoe parameter;
a second shoe for being worn by the user and comprising at least a second sensor configured to detect a second shoe parameter;
a golf club sensor detachably fastened to the golf club, the sensor configured to detect a position parameter of a ball-striking surface of a head of the golf club relative to at least one of the first shoe and the second shoe;
a remote controller apparatus configured to;
receive the first shoe parameter, the second shoe parameter, and the position parameter from the respective first shoe, second shoe and golf club sensors via a wireless communication protocol;
generate a performance signal comprising a composite of the first shoe parameter, the second shoe parameter, and the position parameter; and
output the performance signal to an external display apparatus; and
an external display apparatus configured to receive the performance signal from the remote controller apparatus via a wireless communication protocol and to display the performance signal to the user via a display thereof.

Abstract
A shoe pod includes a positioning component and an altimeter. The positioning component determines geodetic locations of the shoe, whereas the altimeter determines elevations of the shoe. A golf club pod is disposed at the golf club and includes a golf club parameter detector operable to be detachably fastened to the golf club, to detect a golf club head striking surface position and to transmit the detected club parameter signal based on the detected golf club parameter.

8. A method comprising:
-
receiving at a computer apparatus from one or more shoe parameter sensors disposed at one or more shoes worn by a user, shoe parameter data, the shoe parameter data comprising orientation, acceleration, and position of the one or more shoes throughout the duration of a swing of a golf club by the user and the orientation data comprising an orientation of a first shoe and an orientation of a second shoe relative one another; receiving, at the computer apparatus golf club data from a golf club parameter sensor detachably fastened to the golf club, the golf club data comprising acceleration, force, and velocity of the golf club throughout the duration of the swing of the golf club by the user; processing the golf club data and the shoe parameter data at the computer apparatus to generate a performance signal; and outputting the performance signal to a mobile apparatus via wireless communication therewith for display to the user. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
