The Golf Club at Chelsea Piers in New York City offers training time with the K-Vest, which uses movement sensors in the chest, wrist and waist to break down six elements of a swing: alignment at address, posture at address, hip and shoulder turn at the top of the swing, hip position at the top, hip movement during the swing and spine movement during the swing. Chelsea Piers has paired with the Titleist Performance Institute to provide bio-mechanical feedback on swing data ? how fast one accelerates through the shot, for example. Music plays on a computer when a swing is being performed correctly, but the possibility of fixing chronic swing flaws is music to any golfer's ears. ($115 per hour, Chelsea Piers)
