Pace in my mind is the direct relationship of the Hand Speed and the Surface Speed..I could be wrong and would stand to be corrected

Arc Velocity is surface speed

Arc Accleration is the result of the radius changing from smaller to larger

Angular Velocity is the rate of rotation of all components and their respective centers...in this case the radius in relation to clubhead travel controlled by #3 , Hand travel and turning rate of the pivot components

Angular Acceleration is the change in hand speed .....via the pivot or accumulators #4 and #1

Rhythm is the RPM roll of #3 and the turning rate of the pivot to maintain the same Angular velcocities or the rate of closure of the clubface, travel of the orbitng clubhead, to the selcted plane angle

Aside from the Wiki Tiki protractor pocket protector pollution, I really like this. Without looking any Wiki's up, I'll bite.

Pace -
I might agree that it's a measure of speed over distance and can be applied to both hands and clubhead as long as the two are measured in relation to one another. I think there is a lot of meat on that bone.

Arc Velocity - Are we talking from the top/end to follow through only? That would seem to be the a clubhead surface speed MPH measurement only. I had defined pace in this respect. Are you putting hands here as well?

Arc Acceleration - That would be a measurement of the overtaking rate of the clubhead from release to impact. The result may indicate pulley size, but only in swinging. How would this differ from your view of Pace?

Angular Velocity - Per your definition, I think you need to measure RPM, not speed. If you measure speed, you need a reference point. Angular Velocity by name would be a speed measurement of a linear object (hands?) in relation (from a golfing perspective) to a circle. Just a wild guess.

Angular Acceleration - Rate of change in hand speed. Not sure that it would relate to anything else.

OK Annikan - now that I've butchered that, what is my homework assignment?

I have a feeling I'm about to get a low inside pitch straight at the knees.
