1. A method for analyzing a golf swing, comprising:
- measuring movement of a subject performing a golf swing using sensor elements;
communicating the movement measurements to a computer-based analysis system; and
using the computer-based analysis system to calculate values for at least four of the following parameters;
peak X-factor, X-factor at impact, peak S-factor, S-factor at impact, peak O-factor and O-factor at impact, wherein X-factor is the relative difference between the rotation of the hips and the shoulders.
