Le dispositif comporte un capteur plat (18) se fixant sur la surface de frappe (16) et au moyen duquel il est possible de localiser le point d'impact. Ce capteur (18) est relié à un circuit de mesure et de calcul (30) qui se fixe amovible sur le manche (12) ou sur la face postérieure de la tête du club de golf, et qui est monté dans un boîtier (28) conjointement avec une source de tension électrique, le circuit effectuant à chaque frappe une procédure de mesure destinée à déterminer les coordonnées du point d'impact par rapport à la position d'un point de référence (22) prédéfini. Un module radio (34) relié au circuit de mesure et de calcul (30) transmet les résultats de mesure à un appareil d'évaluation (36) ressemblant à un téléphone portable ou analogue permettant l'évaluation commandée par ordinateur et l'affichage des résultats de mesure sur un écran (40).
