System Identification-Based Golf Swing Data Prediction For The Optimal Design of golf club

Abstract

Techniques called ”Fitting” , which considers the individual swing characteristics and suggests a golf club optimal for the player, have attracted attention.In the system developed by the authors so far, we can find optimally designed the golf clubs for the individual swing by swinging nine clubs of different characteristics. In this study, the response of the swing data change for the change of club characteristics was described as a function by using system identification. By performing swing change prediction based on the function, we succeeded in achieving high-precision optimal design from three of the above nine clubs.
