Tiny sensor to help golfers improve their swing

RESEARCHERS at UCC are working on the perfect Christmas present for next year, a device that can decode your golf swing.

The matchbox-sized sensor can measure the G-force of a rugby tackle, the speed of an archery arrow, or the precision movements of a tennis ace.

The wireless sensor network is being developed by a team of researchers at the Tyndall National Institute in partnership with University College Dublin and Dublin City University.
