1. A tag, comprising:
a microcontroller;
a plurality of sensors that, when the tag is physically coupled to a golf club, are each configured to output a signal to the microcontroller based on a detected movement of the golf club; and
a transceiver, wherein:
the microcontroller is configured to;
set, when the tag is physically coupled to the golf club, a sensor processing profile based on physical characteristics of the golf club, the sensor processing profile including profile reference values for each of the plurality of sensors,
compare the plurality of sensor outputs to the profile reference values in the sensor processing profile to determine whether any of the plurality of sensor outputs are equal to or exceed predetermined thresholds, and
control, when at least one of the plurality of sensor outputs exceeds a corresponding predetermined threshold, the transceiver to transmit data corresponding to the plurality of sensor outputs to a remote device that is remote from the tag,
the transceiver is configured to receive, from the remote device, update parameters input to the remote device by a user in response to a display output of the data; and
the microcontroller is further configured to adjust the profile reference values according to the update parameters.
