Claim 8:
9. A golf swing evaluation system comprising:
a sensor system configured to be used by a user for detecting golf swing dynamics data, wherein the sensor system comprises;
a first sensor system for detecting golf swing dynamics information generated by a first user during one or more golf swings, wherein the first sensor system includes a first foot force sensor and a second foot force sensor at least partially provided with a first shoe worn by the first user when hitting golf balls for determining forces exerted by a first foot of the first user throughout a course of a golf swing;
wherein the first foot force sensor is located near a front of a first shoe, and the second foot force sensor is located near a heel of the first shoe;
wherein the first sensor system further comprises a mat on which the user stands during one or more golf swings;
wherein the mat includes one or more sensors that determine the weight shift of the user over the course of one or more swings;

a second sensor system comprising a camera mounted on a golf bag;
wherein the camera records a video of the user during one or more golf swings;
a third sensor system comprising a ball flight sensor having a digital sound recorder;
wherein the digital sound recorder records a sound generated when a golf ball is struck;
wherein the sound provides feedback on the quality of the contact between the club face and the ball, and the quality of the contact between the club and the mat;
wherein the data collected by the first sensor system, the second sensor system, and the third sensor system is time-stamped:
wherein the sensor system transmits a set of data comprising swing data from the user;
a computing device that receives the set of data from the first, second, and third sensor systems and stores a plurality of a user's golf swing signatures;
wherein each of the plurality of user's golf swing signatures includes club head positioning for an individual golf swing and data indicating a golf club used for the individual golf swing;
an first output device configured to induce a sensory response to the user during a subsequent golf swing, wherein the sensory response is derived from data generated by the golf swing evaluation system and is based, at least in part, on information collected by: (a) the first sensor system during the golf swing, (b) the second sensor system, and the third sensor system during the golf swing;
wherein first the output device is coupled to the golf club;
a second output device comprising a display device that displays the video of the user during one or more golf swings and superimposes the time-stamped data collected by first, second, and third sensor systems, on the video;, wherein the computing device determines and transmits a signal to the first output device to create the sensory response during a golf swing; and
wherein the sensory response provided to the user is induced during the course of the subsequent golf swing and transmitting a signal representing a corrective swing feature to the first output device to alter a feature of the user's golf swing.
