Study of Aerodynamic Characteristic on Club Head

Abstract

In this study, the drag of club heads were measured that was related to ease of swing and maximum head speed, where as club heads were studied in the past only in their material, construction, hardness and rebound. The drag of several shape of club heads were measured at flow speed of 20 to 50 m/s conceded from law of fluid mechanics. And, the flow around club head was made clear by the flow visualization results by using spark tracing method.
