I am biased and I personally have a negative opinion of Chris Welch's Zenolink service. As I stated, I don't believe that his angular velocity measurements are necessarily accurate - for reasons already supplied. I also cannot accept his kinetic link theory. I had a 30 minute personal conversation with Chris Welch and he admitted to not having any specific knowledge of golf mechanics, as his body motion experience mainly relates to other sport activities. He had no sympathy for the double pendulum swing model (law of the flail) and the endless belt analogy as a valid explanation of the club release phenomenon. He primarily thinks in terms of COM and energy transfer and he thinks that energy is transferred from one body part to the next body part according to the kinetic link model, and subsequently to the clubshaft.
