1. A method for predicting a golfer'"'"'s swing speed, the method comprising:
- determining that a golfer is addressing a golf ball to swing a golf club, the golf club comprising a device comprising an accelerometer and a radiofrequency transceiver;
monitoring a backswing of the golfer at a rate of at least 5 kilo-Hertz;
determining a transition time from a backswing to a downswing of the golfer;
monitoring the downswing of the golfer at a rate of at least 5 kilo-Hertz;
determining an impact time of the golf club with the golf ball;
transmitting data for the golfer'"'"'s swing to a smart-phone for analysis, the data comprising the transition time and the impact time; and
generating on the smart phone a golfer'"'"'s swing speed using a length of a shaft of the golf club, the transition time and the impact time.
