Abstract
A method of manufacturing a custom golf club, the method including measuring swing dynamics of a user, determine club design parameters based on the measure swing dynamics of the user, generating a computer model representing an custom golf club head based on the determined design parameters, and manufacturing the custom golf club head based on the generated computer model using additive layer manufacturing processes using powder material and a high energy beam.

A method of manufacturing a custom golf club, the method comprising:
- Measuring swing dynamics of a user;
- Determine club design parameters based on the measure swing dynamics of the user;
- Generating a computer model representing an custom golf club head based on the determined design parameters;
- and
- Manufacturing the custom golf club head based on the generated computer model using additive layer manufacturing processes using powder material and a high energy beam.
A system for manufacturing a custom golf club, the system comprising:
- a launch monitor configured to measure swing dynamics of a user;
- a club design parameter determining engine configured to determine club design parameters based on the measured swing dynamics of the user;
- a computer modeler configured to generate a computer model representing a custom golf club head based on the determined design parameters;
- and
- Additive layer manufacturing device configured to manufacture the custom golf club head based on the generated computer model using additive layer manufacturing processes using powder material and a high energy beam.
