Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a fitting apparatus configured to acquire measurement data obtained by measuring a swing action of a test club by a golfer with a measurement device, calculate an amount of change in an attitude of a face surface of a head included in the test club in a period before impact at a time of the swing action, based on the measurement data, and select a balance of a golf club suitable for the golfer, according to the amount of change.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A fitting apparatus comprising: an acquisition unit configured to acquire measurement data obtained by measuring a swing action of a test club by a golfer with a measurement device; a calculation unit configured to calculate an amount of change in an openness of a face surface of a head included in the test club in a period before impact at a time of the swing action, based on the measurement data; and a selection unit configured to select a balance of a golf club suitable for the golfer, according to the amount of change, wherein the amount of change includes a first index calculated based on an angular velocity about an axis that is parallel to a shaft included in the test club, and a second index calculated based on an angular velocity about an axis that is parallel to the toe-heel direction of the head. 2. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a fitting program configured to cause a computer to execute: acquiring measurement data obtained by measuring a swing action of a test club by a golfer with a measurement device; calculating an amount of change in an attitude openness of a face surface of a head included in the test club in a period before impact at a time of the swing action, based on the measurement data; and selecting a balance of a golf club suitable for the golfer, according to the amount of change, wherein the amount of change includes a first index calculated based on an angular velocity about an axis that is parallel to a shaft included in the test club, and a second index calculated based on an angular velocity about an axis that is parallel to the toe-heel direction of the head. 3. A fitting method comprising: acquiring measurement data obtained by measuring a swing action of a test club by a golfer, using a measurement device; calculating an amount of change in an openness of a face surface of a head included in the test club in a period before impact at a time of the swing action, based on the measurement data, using a computer; and recommending a golf club having a balance suitable for the golfer that is determined according to the amount of change to the golfer, wherein the amount of change includes a first index calculated based on an angular velocity about an axis that is parallel to a shaft included in the test club, and a second index calculated based on an angular velocity about an axis that is parallel to the toe-heel direction of the head. 4. A fitting apparatus comprising: an acquisition unit configured to acquire measurement data obtained by measuring a swing action of a test club by a golfer with a measurement device; a calculation unit configured to calculate an amount of change in an attitude of a face surface of a head included in the test club in a period before impact at a time of the swing action, based on the measurement data; and a selection unit configured to select a balance of a golf club suitable for the golfer, according to the amount of change, wherein the amount of change includes a first index calculated based on an angular velocity about an axis that is parallel to a shaft included in the test club, and a second index calculated based on an angular velocity about an axis that is parallel to the toe-heel direction of the head.
