Abstract:
Methods and systems for detecting configuration states of a golf club and adjustment systems of a golf club, such as a shaft connection system. A golf club configuration detection system captures configuration data from the adjustment system of the golf club by a configuration detection device, such as a camera, a barcode scanner, or an RFID scanner. The captured configuration data is compared to reference configuration data to determine a configuration state of the adjustment system. Swing data and ball-flight data are tracked for golf-ball strikes with the golf club in the detected configuration state. Recommendations for configuration states may be generated based on the tracked data.

Claim (Index 10):
A method, performed by a golf club configuration detection system, for identifying a golf club configuration, the method comprising:\n capturing, with a configuration detection device that includes at least one camera, a first image of an adjustment system of a golf club head, the first image including first configuration data for the adjustment system when the adjustment system is in a first configuration state, wherein the adjustment system includes at least one configurable component capable of being physically adjusted; causing a comparison of the captured first configuration data to reference configuration data in a database, wherein the reference configuration data corresponds to multiple configuration states of the adjustment system; based on the comparison of the first configuration data, determining that the adjustment system is in the first configuration state; capturing, with the configuration detection device, an image of the adjustment system when the adjustment system is in a second configuration state, the image including second configuration data of the adjustment system; causing a comparison of the captured second configuration data to the reference configuration data; and based on the comparison of the second configuration data, determining that the adjustment system is in the second configuration state.
