Zusammenfassung:	There is a need in the art for portable golf swing analysis clubs and systems that can be used on a golf course without bulky external equipment and that provide real time feedback to a golfer. This invention relates to golf clubs. More particularly, it is a system for determining performance characteristics of a golf swing using a self-contained instrumented golf club, the golf club comprising a club head configured to be operatively connected to a shaft; an array of electromagnetic sensors configured to receive electromagnetic radiation reflected from a golf ball. At least one swing parameter of the golf club is determined based on data received from the array. In an embodiment, a weight of the source and the array is positioned so as not to change a balance or location of a center of gravity of the golf club.
