Patent ID: 8852028

Claim:
A system comprising: a tracking device to measure golf shot information of an individual; and a processing device coupled to the tracking device and configured to: receive physical characteristic information of the individual; and output a report for an optimized golf club for the individual; wherein: the physical characteristic information contains one or more of gender data, age data, dominant hand data, hand dimension data, or wrist-to-floor distance data of the individual; the processing device is configured to: calculate, based on at least the physical characteristic information, an initial component option group as a calculated baseline for a plurality of club components, the initial component option group comprising: a first initial component option for a first club component of the plurality of club components; and a second initial component option for a second club component of the plurality of club components; determine a first optimal component option for the first club component based on first golf shot data of one or more swings of at least a first test club having: the first initial component option; and the second initial component option; calculate whether the second initial component option is, for the individual, a second optimal component option for the second club component based on second golf shot data of one or more swings of a second test club having: the first optimal component options; and the second initial component option; and if the second initial component option is not the second optimal component option for the second club component: output another option for the second club component until the second optimal component option is determined for the individual; the initial component option group is calculated, by the processing device: prior to receiving, from the tracking device, the golf shot information of the individual; and irrespective of a pre-existing club component combination of a pre-existing golf club of the individual; and the report comprises the first and second optimal component options for an optimized golf club for the individual.
