Claims8
A method for matching a golfer to a golf ball and a golf club comprising the steps of:
- (a) measuring clubhead speed for the golfer at impact with a ball;
- (b) comparing the golfer's measured clubhead speed to predetermined recorded sets of data which interrelates clubhead speed to a set of variables on a predetermined relationship consisting essentially of:
- (i) golf club loft angle;
- (ii) golf club shaft flex;
- (iii) golf ball weight;
- and
- (iv) golf ball spin;
- (c) matching said golfer to at least one golf club and at least one golf ball in accordance with the comparison of said golfer's clubhead speed to the variables to obtain optimum driving performance.
