1. The measuring device to capture a swing movement of a club, comprising:

  • a first three dimensional accelerometer to capture a first two-dimensional vector of acceleration within a first range of acceleration;

    a second three dimensional accelerometer to capture a second two-dimensional vector of acceleration within a second range of acceleration different from the first range of acceleration;

    a first angle sensor to capture a first rotation angle, a second rotation angle and a third rotation angle, the first rotation angle corresponding to the first two-dimensional vector of acceleration around a z-axis, where the z-axis is substantially normal to the two-dimensional vector of acceleration, the second angle of rotation corresponding to a one-dimensional acceleration vector to a y-axis, the y-axis is essentially perpendicular to the one-dimensional acceleration vector anda computation means including logic on a computer readable medium for converting a set of raw data captured from the first three dimensional accelerometer, the second three dimensional accelerometer and the first angle sensor into formatted data that includes an orientation, a maximum acceleration, a duration of individual phases of the swing movement, a force distribution and a plurality of accelerations during the corresponding plurality of individual phases of the swing movement and a swing path, wherein the computation means includes an interface, to transmit the processed or raw data to an external data processing systems.
