Method, system, and apparatus for analyzing a sporting apparatus

A method for determining a recommended sporting apparatus, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing a device, data generated by a sensor in response to a motion of a sporting apparatus, the data including a first data relating to a first characteristic of the motion of the sporting apparatus, the first characteristic including a first attribute of a first directional segment of a swing path of a first location on the sporting apparatus and a second attribute of a second directional segment of the swing path created by the first location on the sporting apparatus;
• analyzing, by the computing device, the data to determine a skill value by comparing the first attribute and the second attribute;
• determining, by the computing device, a recommended sporting apparatus from a group of at least two sporting apparatuses based on the skill value;
• and
• transmitting, by the computing device, information relating to the recommended sporting apparatus.

A method for analyzing a sporting apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:

• receiving, by a computing device, data generated by a sensor in response to a motion of a reference sporting apparatus, the data including a first data relating to a first characteristic of the motion of the sporting apparatus, the first data being based on a comparison between at least two different directional segments of a path created by a first location on the reference sporting apparatus during the motion of the reference sporting apparatus;
• analyzing, by the computing device, the data to determine a skill value;
• determining a recommended sporting apparatus from a group of at least two sporting apparatuses based on the skill value;
• and
• transmitting information relating to the recommended sporting apparatus.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing device, data generated by a sensor in response to a motion of a sporting apparatus, the data including a first data relating to a first characteristic of the motion of the sporting apparatus, the first characteristic including a first attribute of a backswing segment of a swing path of a location on the sporting apparatus and a second attribute of a downswing segment of the swing path of the location on the sporting apparatus;
• analyzing, by the computing device, the data to determine a skill value by comparing the first attribute and the second attribute;
• and
• transmitting, by the computing device, the skill value to a display.

A method of analyzing a golf club using a reference golf club, a sensor engaged with the reference golf club, and a computing device, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the computing device, data generated by the sensor in response to a motion of the reference golf club, the data including a first data relating to a first characteristic of the motion of the reference golf club, the first characteristic based on at least two different directional segments of a swing path created by a location on the reference golf club during the motion of the reference golf club;
• analyzing, by the computing device, the data to determine a skill value;
• determining, by the computing device, a recommended golf club from a group of at least two golf clubs based on the skill value;
• and
• transmitting, by the computing device, information relating to the recommended golf club.
