Abstract

An improved device and method/system are disclosed for golf swing development and clubfitting based on a previously disclosed underlying gripping structure specimen as created using only the hands or with a golf grip substitute device and underlying swinging structure specimen as created using only the limbs of the body.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

recording, by an analyzer device, a reference golf swing performed by a golfer using one of (a) only hands and (b) a golf grip substitute;

recording, by an analyzer device, a first test golf swing performed by a golfer holding a first golf club device having a first value of a first golf club specification;

recording, by an analyzer device, a second test golf swing performed by a golfer holding a second golf club device having a second value of a first golf club specification;

comparing, by the analyzer device, the reference golf swing with the first test golf swing, thereby yielding a first comparison;

comparing, by the analyzer device, the reference golf swing with the second test golf swing, thereby yielding a second comparison;

when the first comparison is closer to the reference golf swing than the second comparison, producing a first golf club having the first value of the first golf club specification.
