1. A method for matching a golfer to a golf club to maximize club head momentum upon ball impact, the golf club having a natural frequency of vibration in a mode of oscillation of a cantilevered beam that has a spring constant when held at a grip end of a club shaft, the club having a club head mounted to the opposite shaft end which oscillates along an arcuate path about the grip end, the method comprising:

  • (a) measuring the golfer'"'"'s swing time from the moment of maximum club head acceleration during downswing until the moment of ball impact;

    (b) selecting for the golfer a golf club wherein the reciprocal of four times the its natural frequency of vibration is substantially equal to the golfer'"'"'s measured swing time.
