Patent ID: 8444509

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving, with a computerized swing analyzer device, shot characteristic information of an individual; and generating, with the computerized swing analyzer device, a swing display of a portion of a golf swing of a club head of a golf club by the individual, the swing display configured to present: an impact side view of the club head and a ball, the swing display being based on the shot characteristic information to custom fit the individual with one or more golf clubs; wherein: the impact side view of the swing display comprises: a club head attack angle pathline of the club head for a club head attack angle of the club head towards and prior to impact with the ball, the club head attack angle pathline presented along a club head approach direction path traversed by the club head towards and prior to impact with the ball; a club head attack angle reference band showing, relative to the club head attack angle pathline: an upper-bound club head attack angle reference pathline, shown approaching an optimal impact area of the ball, for a reference negative upper-bound club head attack angle of a downswing portion of a reference upper-bound golf swing prior to impact with the ball; and a lower-bound club head attack angle reference pathline, shown approaching the optimal impact area of the ball and displayed below the upper-bound club head attack angle reference pathline, for a reference positive lower-bound club head attack angle of an upswing portion of a reference lower-bound golf swing prior to impact with the ball; and generating, with the computerized swing analyzer device, the swing display further comprises: depicting the ball after impact by the club head; and generating one or more arrows located about the ball, showing a direction of ball rotation of the ball such that: at least a first arrow of the one or more arrows depicts an arcuate first arrow path coplanar with a rotational plane of the ball for the direction of ball rotation; and when the rotational plane of the ball is non-planar to the swing display, the arcuate first arrow path is shown tilted, along a non-circular arc, to illustrate a non-planar relationship between the rotational plane of the ball and the swing display.
