The influences of the parameters, i.e., the friction coefficient between the club head and golf ball, the eccentricity and inclination of the head to the target direction and the surface shape of the head, on the release velocity, spin velocity and trajectory of the ball after impact, are investigated. A computer program that analyzes the dynamic contact problem with friction is constructed, and the impact phenomenon between the head and ball is numerically analyzed using this program. The influences of the parameters described above are investigated quantitatively. It is shown that backspin is the result of friction between the head and ball, sidespin is the result of eccentricity or inclination of the head, which is called the gear action, and the surface shape of the head influences the trajectory of the ball after impact, which is called the round effect.
