Abstract: A system for personalized club fitting according to various embodiments of the present technology provides a golfer with an opportunity to obtain custom built golf clubs without having to visit a specialized location. The system includes a device for capturing unique swing data relating to a user's golf swing. The device may include a removable sensor configured to be connected to a generic golf club swung by the user. The captured swing data is then transferred to a processing system where a user swing profile is generated and compared against a set of performance data for golf club shaft and golf club heads. A set of shafts and club heads are selected that match the user swing profile. This data can then be provided directly to the user or uploaded to a club builder so that the clubs can be built for the user.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for measuring properties of a cantilevered member according to various aspects of the present technology may utilize a test stand comprising a chuck configured to secure a first end of a test member or shaft such that a second end of the test member is cantilevered outward from the chuck. A loading system may be configured to apply a force to the test member causing the test member to deflect in response to the load. An image capturing system is configured to acquire one or more images of the deflected test member and a data acquisition system may analyze the collected data and images to calculate one or more properties of the test member.
