INSTRUMENTED GOLF CLUB SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE

摘要

An instrumented golf club system (2) having an instrumented golf club (10), an interface means (18) and a computing means (28) is disclosed herein. The instrumented golf club (10) includes a plurality of sensors (62, 64, 66, 68, 102, 104, 124, 126, 128 and 130), an internal power supply (92, 94), an angular rate sensor (98) and an internal ring buffer memory (134) for capturing data relating to a golf swing. The interface means (18) is capable of transferring data from the instrumented golf club (10) to the computing means (28) for processing the data and presenting the data in a useful and informative format. The data may be used to assist a golfer's swing, or to design an appropriate golf club for a specific type of golfer.
