  • SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOLF SWING
    Publication number: 20100216563
    Abstract: An instrumented golf club system and methods are disclosed. A variety of golf swing parameters are measured by the instrumented golf club and wirelessly transmitted to a portable computer device. The portable computer device generates a user interface that displays the golf swing parameters against preferred golf swing parameters. The instrumented golf club system allows a golfer to receive feedback in real time while playing golf.

  • Systems and Methods for Fitting Golfers with Golf Clubs
    Publication number: 20090326688
    Abstract: Golf club fitting systems and methods include: (a) receiving input data indicating a golfer's driver loft angle and shaft flexibility characteristic; (b) determining initial candidate fairway wood clubs based on this data; and (c) identifying the initial candidate fairway wood clubs. Such systems and methods further may include: (d) receiving launch monitor data generated when the golfer hits balls using the initial candidate fairway wood clubs; (e) determining and identifying additional candidate fairway wood clubs for testing; (f) receiving launch monitor data generated when the golfer hits balls using the additional candidate fairway wood clubs; and (g) determining and identifying a recommendation for a final first fairway wood club based on the data. Other clubs in the fitted set also may be determined by these fitting systems and methods.
