Original Abstract Submitted
A processing device includes an operation circuit that determines based on a first signal a swing start time, the first signal being acquired from a sensor that is attached to a striking member for striking a to-be-struck object by being swung and that detects deformation of the striking member when the striking member is swung. An absolute value of a difference between a reference value and a value of the first signal is defined as a first difference value. The operation circuit executes a first determination step in which an impact time is determined based on one or more times at which the first difference value becomes greater than or equal to a first determination value.
