Golf club fitting apparatus
First Claim
1. A fitting apparatus configured to determine an optimal swingability index, which is a swingability index of a golf club suited to a golfer, comprising:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire a measurement value obtained by measuring a swing action of a test club by the golfer with a measurement device;
a calculation unit configured to calculate a swing index indicating a feature amount of the swing action, based on the measurement value; and
a determination unit configured to determine the optimal swingability index, according to a magnitude of the swing index,wherein;
the swing index includes at least one of arm energy of the golfer during the swing action and torque about a shoulder of the golfer during the swing action, and head speed, the arm energy and the torque being exerted by the golfer during the swing action,the calculation unit is configured to calculate the head speed achieved during the swing action, andthe determination unit is configured to determine the optimal swingability index, according to the magnitude of the head speed, in addition to the magnitude of at least one of the arm energy and the torque about the shoulder.

Abstract
Provided is a fitting apparatus that accurately and objectively determines an optimal swingability index, which is a swingability index of a golf club suited to a golfer. The fitting apparatus is provided with an acquisition unit, a calculation unit, and a determination unit. The acquisition unit acquires a measurement value obtained by measuring a swing action of a test club by the golfer with a measurement device. The calculation unit calculates a swing index indicating a feature amount of the swing action, based on the measurement value. The determination unit determines the optimal swingability index, according to a magnitude of the swing index.
