GOLF SWING ANALYSIS APPARATUS AND GOLF CLUB FITTING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A golf swing analysis apparatus for analyzing a swing action of a golf club, comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire a measurement value obtained by measuring the swing action using a measurement device;
a grip behavior derivation unit configured to derive a behavior of a grip of the golf club that occurs during the swing action, based on the measurement value; and
a shoulder behavior derivation unit configured to derive a behavior of a pseudo shoulder of a golfer that occurs during the swing action, based on the behavior of the grip.

10. A golf club fitting apparatus comprising:
-
an acquisition unit configured to acquire a measurement value obtained by measuring a swing action taken with each of a plurality of golf clubs; an index calculation unit configured to calculate a swing index, which is an index characterizing the swing action, for each of the golf clubs, based on the measurement value; and an optimal index specification unit configured to specify an intersection point between a first regression line of the swing index in a constant region in which the swing index is roughly constant relative to a swingability index representing an ease of swinging the golf club and a second regression line of the swing index in a proportional region in which the swing index is roughly proportional to the swingability index, based on the swing indices calculated by the index calculation unit, and specify one of an optimal index, which is the swingability index at or near the intersection point, and an optimal index range. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
