  • Patent number: 11918879
    Abstract: There are numerous tools a golfer can buy that will increase or decrease the weight or moment of inertia of a club to increase swing speed, but none of these tools accurately represent the center of mass of a standard golf club. The differences in the center of the mass between the standard club and the trainer club can create problems with the swing including improper alignment of the club face through contact and improper swing path. A swing trainer that increases or decreases the moment of inertia of the trainer by 10-12% while still maintaining the same center of mass as a standard club can solve this issue.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9258187
    Abstract: A method for optimizing a computer system, the method comprising the steps of receiving at least one key corresponding to at least one attribute of at least one configurable computer system; accessing an electronic key database stored in a memory that includes computer configuration information; comparing the received keys with entries in the key database; generating recommendations where the recommendations include commands selected from the group consisting of deleting, Disabling, suspending, changing process priority, and delaying the execution of the attribute corresponding to the key received from the configurable computer system; and transmitting the recommendations to the configurable computer system based upon the comparison of the received keys with entries in the key database.
