System and method to identify impact locations

A system for identifying an impact location on a golf club, the system comprising:

• a neural network;
• a golf ball having an embedded circuitry for transmitting data;
• a golf club comprising
• a golf club head comprising a body, an inertial motion unit (IMU) positioned within the body, and a transceiver in communication with the IMU, and
• a shaft attached to the golf club head;
• wherein the impact location is determined based on an impact signature immediately after a golf club head impact with a golf ball;
• wherein the IMU identifies an impact location with a golf ball;
• wherein the IMU collects impact datasets from multiple impacts of the golf ball at multiple locations on the face;
• wherein the collected impact location dataset is transmitted to the neural network;
• wherein the neural network learns from the collected impact location dataset and then resolves impact location from any new dataset.
