The fitter attaches the head of the selected lie angle to the golf club 101, causes the golfer 100 to make a trial hit, and makes a measurement with the measuring device 3 (step S5). The fitter checks whether or not the measurement at all lie angles has been completed for the three heads having normal FP values and different lie angles (step S6). If the measurement at all lie angles has not been completed (S6: NO), the fitter returns to the procedure of step S4 and selects a head with another lie angle. When the measurement at all lie angles is completed (S6: YES), the fitter determines the optimum lie angle for the golfer 100 based on the measurement results at the three types of lie angles (step S7).

Next, the fitter selects one of the three types of heads having a lie angle determined in step S7 from the nine types of heads of the fitting device 1 (step S8). The fitter attaches the head having the selected FP value to the golf club 101, causes the golfer 100 to perform a trial hit, and measures the golf club 3 (step S9). The fitter examines whether or not the measurement at all FP values has been completed for the three heads having the lie angle determined in step S7 and having different FP values (step S10). If the measurement at all FP values has not been completed (S10: NO), the fitter returns to the procedure of step S8 and selects a head with another FP value. When the measurement at all FP values is completed (S10: YES), the fitter determines the optimum FP value for the golfer 100 based on the measurement results at the three types of FP values (step S11), and ends the fitting. To do.

In the procedure shown in this flowchart, the lie angle is determined first, and then the FP value is determined. However, a procedure may be adopted in which the FP value is determined first and then the lie angle is determined. Further, in this procedure, the fitter selects the head, the shaft, and the like, and determines the lie angle and the FP value, but the computer 2 may perform these. The computer 2 can play the role of a fitter by displaying on the display, for example, an instruction to specify a shaft, an instruction to attach or replace a head, an instruction to perform a trial hit, etc. to the golfer 100 according to the procedure of this flowchart. ..

The method of determining the combination of the FP value and the lie angle by the computer 2 is not limited to the above method, and may be performed by various other methods. The determination of the combination of the FP value and the lie angle may be made based on the measurement results other than the impact loft, or may be made based on a plurality of measurement results (for example, the impact loft and the launch angle).

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a procedure for determining the FP value and the lie angle performed by the computer 2 according to the third embodiment. The flow chart shown is a case where the computer 2 determines a combination of an FP value and a lie angle suitable for the golfer 100 based on two items of the impact loft of the measurement result and the incident angle of the head.

The processing unit 21 of the computer 2 reads out the measurement result regarding the trial hit of the golfer 100 stored in the storage unit 22 (step S51). The measurement result read out here is data in which at least the measured values of the impact loft and the incident angle of the head are associated with the combination of the FP value and the lie angle. Further, the processing unit 21 reads, for example, the impact loft determination criterion stored in the storage unit 22 (step S52). The impact loft determination criterion read here is assumed to be in the range of angles such as 25 ° to 27 °.

The processing unit 21 extracts the measurement result whose impact loft measurement value is within the range of the determination criteria read in step S52 from the plurality of measurement results read in step S51 (step S53).

Next, the processing unit 21 reads out the determination criterion of the incident angle of the head stored in the storage unit 22 (step S54). It is assumed that the criterion for determining the incident angle read out here is not a range of angles but a value of one angle.

The processing unit 21 compares the incident angle of the measurement result extracted in step S53 with the incident angle of the determination standard read out in step S54, and selects one measurement result whose incident angle is closest to the determination standard ( Step S55). The processing unit 21 displays the combination of the FP value and the lie angle corresponding to one measurement result selected in step S55 as the combination of the FP value and the lie angle determined to be suitable for the golfer 100 (step S56). , End the process.

In the present embodiment, the computer 2 determines one combination of the FP value and the lie angle suitable for the golfer 100 based on the measurement result, but the present invention is not limited to this. The computer 2 may determine a plurality of candidates for the combination of the FP value and the lie angle. In this case, the computer 2 may rank and display a plurality of candidates. For example, when there are a plurality of measurement results in which the impact loft is within a predetermined range and the incident angle of the head is within a predetermined range, the computer 2 sets a plurality of combinations of FP values and lie angles corresponding to the plurality of measurement results. Can be a candidate. The computer 2 can rank these plurality of candidates based on measurement items other than, for example, the impact loft and the incident angle of the head.

In the golf club fitting system according to the third embodiment of the above configuration, the computer 2 obtains a combination of the FP value and the lie angle suitable for the golfer 100 based on a plurality of measurement results corresponding to the combination of the FP value and the lie angle. Is decided. As a result, the golfer 100, the fitter, and the like can leave the determination of the combination of the FP value and the lie angle to the computer 2, so that the golf club can be easily selected.

In the third embodiment, the computer 2 determines the combination of the FP value and the lie angle, but the bounce angle may be further determined.
