1. A system comprising:
- a computerized swing analyzer device configured to;
generate a swing display of a portion of a golf swing at a golf ball with a golf club head by an individual;
wherein;
the swing display is configured to present a swing top view of the portion of the golf swing from above the golf ball over a ground surface;
the swing top view comprises a first swing path lane for the golf club head with respect to the portion of the golf swing; and
the first swing path lane comprises;
a heelside lane edgeline for a heel side of the golf club head,the heelside lane edgeline shown extended along a length of the first swing path lane;
anda toeside lane edgeline for a toe side of the golf club head,the toeside lane edgeline shown extended along the length of the first swing path lane and shown substantially parallel to the heelside lane edgeline.

17. A system comprising:
-
a computerized swing analyzer device configured to; receive shot characteristic information of an individual; and generate a swing display of a portion of a golf swing at a golf ball with a club head of a golf club by the individual; wherein; the swing display presents the golf ball and one or more arrows located about the golf ball, showing a direction of ball rotation of the golf ball such that; at least a first arrow of the one or more arrows depicts an arcuate first arrow path within a rotational plane of the golf ball for the direction of ball rotation; and when the rotational plane of the golf ball is non-planar to the swing display, the arcuate first arrow path is shown tilted, along a non-circular arc length, to illustrate a non-planar relationship between the rotational plane of the golf ball and the swing display. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A system comprising:
-
a trajectory analyzer configured to; receive, from a tracking device, measured first ball launch information of a golf shot of a first golf ball by an individual; and calculate predicted second ball launch information of a virtual shot of a second golf ball without requiring an actual golf shot of the second ball, the predicted second ball launch information calculated from; the measured first ball launch information; first ball physical attribute information comprising at least one of; a first drag coefficient of the first golf ball;
ora first lift coefficient of the first golf ball; and second ball physical attribute information comprising at least one of; a second drag coefficient of the second golf ball;
ora second lift coefficient of the second golf ball; wherein; the second golf ball represents an actual golf ball different from the first golf ball such that a difference exists between at least one of; the first drag coefficient and the second drag coefficient;
orthe first lift coefficient and the second lift coefficient; the measured first ball launch information is measured from the first golf ball during launch thereof after impact by a golf club, and comprises at least a first-ball first-parameter, the first-ball first-parameter being one of; a measured first ball launch velocity of the first ball; a measured first ball vertical launch angle of the first ball; a measured first ball horizontal launch angle of the first ball; a measured first ball launch spin of the first ball;
ora measured first ball launch spin axis of the first ball; and the predicted second ball launch information, transformed for the second golf ball from the measured first ball launch information, comprises at least a second-ball first-parameter of the second ball, the second-ball first-parameter being one of; a predicted second ball launch velocity for the second golf ball, transformed by the trajectory analyzer from the measured first ball launch velocity and the measured first ball launch information; a predicted second ball vertical launch angle for the second golf ball, transformed by the trajectory analyzer from the measured first ball vertical launch angle the measured first ball launch information; a predicted second ball horizontal launch angle for the second golf ball, transformed by the trajectory analyzer from the measured first ball horizontal launch angle the measured first ball launch information; a predicted second ball launch spin for the second golf ball, transformed by the trajectory analyzer from the measured first ball launch spin the measured first ball launch information;
ora predicted second ball launch spin axis for the second golf ball, transformed by the trajectory analyzer from the measured first ball spin axis the measured first ball launch information. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
