Weight Shift Sensor
Does anyone know if a sensor exists that measures how effectively you shift your weight during the swing? I had a Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) done a few days ago and the indoor simulator that they used had this capability. It was awesome. I knew I was not very effective at shifting my weight, but not to the degree that this was able to highlight.

I believe aboutgolf sim has a module for this - I also spent some time a while back looking for an option for this outside of the aboutgolf sim.
Nothing relatively cheap is available unless you like the Wii balance board option - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfCdWllLleI

Here's a balance measuring device by Zelocity:

Thanks for the information!

If you have a wii and balance board you can pick up the David Leadbetter "my personal golf trainer" (it's not really a game, it's more of a swing plane/balance trainer). It works amazing well. It breaks down your swing to 7 stages, and compares your weight distribution and swing plane vs. the ideal. It's only $99, and well worth it. I use mine all the time to make sure I'm staying on plane and transitioning correctly.

So will it show how much I transfer my weight to the right side? I do have the Wii and the balance board.

Correct, it will show you where your weight should be throughout the swing, and where it actually is. Then it gives you a score based on your overall balance and gives you drills to do to improve.
