Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for analyzing a golfer's individual swing attributes and determining, based on that analysis, a suitable golf club configuration for that golfer. The swing analysis apparatus include video cameras for obtaining video images of a golfer swinging a golf club, such as a putter, at a golf ball. Images obtained from the video cameras may then be analyzed to determine what golf club dimensions will provide improved results in combination with the golfer's individual swing characteristics. The apparatus may additionally include a golf club having predetermined dimensions. When such a golf club is included, images from the video cameras may be analyzed to determine how the golf club of known dimensions must be adjusted to provide the golfer with desirable swing results. The apparatus may also include a method for confirming the dimensions that it is believed will provide a golfer with improve swing results.

Abstract: A golf club head has a strike face and an opposite back face portion. The strike face defines a recess having a bottom surface and a side wall surface extending between the bottom surface and the strike face. An insert is disposed within the recess. The insert has two portions. The first portion has a passageway extending from a front surface of the insert to a back surface of the insert, and the second portion forms a portion of the strike face. The insert is configured so that the passageway is spaced from the strike face. A vibration dampening material is disposed within the passageway.

Abstract: A golf club head has a strike face and an opposite back face portion. The strike face defines a recess having a bottom surface and a side wall surface extending between the bottom surface and the strike face. An insert is disposed within the recess. The insert has a peripheral edge spaced from the side wall surface to define a peripheral groove. A vibration dampening material is disposed within the groove.
