Golf club head customization
First Claim
1. A golf club customization method comprising:
- providing a golf club head having a mounting port formed therein;
removably inserting into the mounting port a sensor insert;
generating, by the sensor insert, sensor data corresponding to a user'"'"'s golf club swing of the golf club head;
transmitting the sensor data from the sensor insert to a computing device;
correlating the sensor data to a preferred mass insert among at least two mass inserts with predetermined relationship information between golf club swing characteristics and optimal club head mass distribution, the at least two mass inserts comprising;
a first mass insert including a first recess configuration defining a first mass distribution such that, when the first mass insert is inserted in the mounting port, the golf club head comprises a first center of gravity location; and
a second mass insert including a second recess configuration defining a second mass distribution such that, when the second mass insert is inserted in the mounting port, the golf club head comprises a second center of gravity location that is different from the first center of gravity location; and
selecting the preferred mass insert.

Abstract
A method of customizing a golf club, wherein the method includes generating operating data representative of a user operating a mechanical device. The operating data is generated by a first sensor sized and configured to be removably positioned in a mounting port formed on the mechanical device during operation of the mechanical device. The sensor is interchangeably positionable in the mounting port with at least one mass insert, the at least one mass insert being adapted to be interchangeably positioned in the mounting to provide at least two different mass configurations. The method further includes determining a recommended configuration of the at least one mass insert specific to the user based on the operating data generated by the sensor, and transmitting information representative of the recommended mass insert.

10. A golf club customization method comprising:
-
providing a golf club head having a mounting port formed therein; providing a golf club shaft extending from a hosel portion of the golf club head, the golf club shaft including a secondary sensor; removably inserting into the mounting port a sensor insert; generating, by the sensor insert, sensor data corresponding to a user'"'"'s golf club swing of the golf club head; transmitting the sensor data from the sensor insert to a computing device; correlating the sensor data to a preferred mass insert orientation relative to a first axis among at least two mass insert orientations with predetermined relationship information between golf club swing characteristics and values representative of optimal recommendations, the at least two mass insert orientations comprising; a first mass insert orientation such that, when a mass insert is oriented according to the first mass insert orientation, the golf club head comprises a first center of gravity location; and a second mass insert orientation such that, when the mass insert is oriented according to the second mass insert orientation, the golf club head comprises a second center of gravity location that is different from the first center of gravity location; and selecting the preferred mass insert orientation. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
