Abstract
An apparatus including a substrate with a front face with circular walls defining a central area for receiving an inertial measurement unit (IMU). The apparatus includes one or more tabs and a pad extending from a back face for extending into grooves in a club face of a golf club, keeping the apparatus level on the club face. The apparatus also includes a magnet between the circular walls of the central area for adhering to the metal club face.

An apparatus for affixing a sensor to a golf club face, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a circular wall extending from a front surface of the substrate, defining a hollow central area of the substrate;
- a magnet disposed in the hollow central area of the substrate;
- and
- one or more tabs extending from a back surface of the substrate, each including extensions configured to be inserted into and engage with one or more grooves on the golf club face or with an edge of the golf club face;
- wherein an inner surface of the circular wall is configured to engage with an outer shell of an inertial measurement unit (IMU).
