11. An impact bag for measuring golf club parameter data upon impact therewith with a club face of a user'"'"'s golf club, comprising:
-
an outer construction composed of a plurality of resilient panels forming the sides, a front facing surface, rear, top and bottom surfaces thereof, the panels arranged so that the impact bag has a generally cubic shape with front facing surface including a target image thereon for guiding the user'"'"'s club face thereto for impact therewith, the cubic-shaped impact bag anchored directly to a ground surface so as to be fixed in place, and so the front facing surface with target image thereon is impacted by the club face at a bottom of a downswing of the club by the user, a plurality of sensors embedded within an interior of the impact bag behind the front facing surface for detecting force data upon impact of the club face with the front facing surface, and a cable connected to the sensors for communicating the force data from impact so as to determine golf club parameter data therefrom for the user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for measuring golf club parameter data on impact of a club face of a user'"'"'s golf club with a target surface, comprising:
-
a static impact bag configured in a generally cubic outer shape with an outer construction comprising a plurality of attached resilient panels forming the sides, a front facing surface, rear, top and bottom surfaces thereof, the front facing surface configured to receive an impact thereon with the club face, the cubic-shaped impact bag anchored directly to a ground surface so as to be fixed in place, and so that the front facing surface is impacted by the club face at a bottom of a downswing of the club by the user, a plurality of sensors within the impact bag for detecting force data upon impact of the club face with the front facing surface, and a processor connected to the plurality of sensors for receiving the force data and determining golf club parameter data related to how hard the user hit the front facing surface of the impact bag with the club face.
