1. A method for matching a golfer to a golf ball and a golf club comprising the steps of:
- measuring at least one parameter for the golfer at impact with a ball, wherein the at least one parameter comprises club head speed, ball speed, or a combination thereof, comparing the measured parameter to a predetermined set of variables, wherein the set of variables comprise;
golf club loft angle;
golf club coefficient of restitution;
golf ball dimple count; and
golf ball dimple diameter;
selecting at least one golf club and at least one golf ball in accordance with the comparison of the club head speed to the set of variables to obtain optimum driving performance.

Abstract
A simplified method of matching a golfer to a golf club and a golf ball by measuring the golfer'"'"'s club head speed and comparing that measured value to recorded sets of data which correlates a few key variables that can accurately match the golfer with the most suitable golf club and golf ball designed to achieve optimum driving performance.

9. A method for matching a golfer to a golf ball comprising a plurality of dimples and a golf club comprising the steps of:
-
measuring at least one golfer parameter, wherein the at least one parameter comprises swing speed or ball speed;
comparing the measured parameter to at least one predetermined club characteristic comprising club coefficient of restitution, loft angle, shaft flex, or club face thickness and at least one predetermined ball characteristic comprising dimple count, average dimple diameter, ball coefficient of restitution, spin rate, compression, golf ball lift coefficient, or golf ball drag coefficient; and
matching the golfer to at least one golf club and at least one golf ball in accordance with the comparison of the measured parameter to the at least one predetermined club characteristic or the at least one predetermined ball characteristic to obtain optimum driving performance. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
