Abstract:
A method for predicting a golfer's ball striking performance, the method comprising:providing a plurality of golf club head properties for a first golf club head of a first golf club; providing a plurality of golf ball properties for a first golf ball; determining a plurality of pre-impact swing properties for the golfer; generating a plurality of ball launch parameters from the plurality of golf club head properties, the plurality of golf ball properties and the plurality of pre-impact swing properties; providing a plurality of first atmospheric conditions; providing a plurality of lift and drag properties for the first golf ball; inputting the plurality of ball launch parameters, the plurality of first atmospheric conditions and the plurality of lift and drag properties into a trajectory code; and generating a predicted performance from the trajectory code of the first golf ball if struck with the first golf club by the golfer under the first atmospheric conditions.
