Claim:
1. A method of manufacturing a custom golf club, the method comprising: measuring, using a launch monitor, dynamic launch aspects of a golf swing, and flight characteristics imparted to a golf ball thereby, of a user when the user swings a regular golf club; determining club design parameters based on the measured dynamic launch aspects and flight characteristics as a result of the user's golf swing; generating a computer model representing a custom golf club head based on the determined design parameters, wherein the generating the computer model comprises generating an at least partial hollow golf club head having an supporting lattice based on the determined design parameters; and manufacturing the custom golf club head based on the generated computer model using additive layer manufacturing processes using powder material and a high energy beam to form the supporting lattice as one piece concurrently with forming an external surface of the at least partial hollow golf club head around the supporting lattice.
