Description

  The present invention relates to a golf club selection support device, a golf club selection tool, a golf club selection method, and a golf club design method. More particularly, the present invention relates to a golf club selection support device, a golf club selection tool in consideration of a sensuality value of a golfer, The present invention relates to a golf club selection method and a golf club design method.

  When designing a golf club, the mass of each part such as the head, shaft, and grip is set in the initial stage of development. Normally, the length of the golf club is set, the target mass of the shaft and grip is set based on the planned intentions such as the market situation, the 14-inch balance is set, and the head mass is set based on the total mass of the golf club. Often decided.

  For example, if the total mass of a 45-inch driver is 290 g and the 14-inch balance is C8, the shaft is 50 g and the grip is 40 g. The mass of the head is about 194 g.

  As for the grip and shaft, the shape and manufacturing method are almost fixed, and the material is almost uniform, so the center of gravity position falls within a certain range. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the mass of the grip and shaft first.

  The mass setting of the shaft is often set to the same or less as each flex becomes softer. The shaft mass difference between each flex, for example, between the S flex and the SR flex, is 5 g due to the manufacturing and design of the shaft. Often the front and back.

  The mass range of the grip is narrower than about 40 g to 50 g compared to the shaft and the head because the outer diameter of the shaft and the outer diameter of the grip are almost determined. Therefore, the mass of the grip is often determined with a plan intention rather than the mass of the shaft or the head.

  If there is a demand for a golf club that is slightly heavier than the highly evaluated golf club, it is most common to increase the 14-inch balance, that is, increase the mass of the head or the mass of the shaft. However, how much of these increases is determined by the total mass of the golf club and the 14-inch balance.

  When a golfer chooses a golf club that suits himself from the golf clubs designed in this way, the golfer can actually hold the golf club in his hand or rotate the head using the grip end as a fulcrum. It was common to select, and there was no such thing as a standard tool when selecting a golf club.

  On the other hand, regarding the golf club itself, various proposals have been made to facilitate the swinging of the golf club.

  For example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-87424, in order to provide an iron club set that is easy to swing from a long iron to a short iron, an iron club having an inertia moment around the grip end of the iron club within a predetermined range. The set is listed.

  In JP-A-2000-202070, in order to further improve the flight distance performance and increase the difficulty of swinging by increasing the length of the golf club, the golf club length, total weight, and grip end toward the head direction. A golf club is described in which the moment of inertia about the position of 10 cm is a value within a predetermined range.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-202069 discloses a moment of inertia at a position 170 mm from the grip end in order to provide a golf club capable of maximizing the initial velocity of the ball at the time of hitting. A golf club that defines a relationship with length is described.

Regarding golf clubs improved in this way, when selecting a golf club that suits you, you can only select the golf club by actually holding the golf club in your hand or rotating the head with the grip end as a fulcrum. There wasn't.
JP 2001-87424 A JP 2000-202070 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-202069

  The golfer's sensory values for golf clubs are “weight when gripped”, “wuggle weight” felt during operation called “wuggle”, which rotates around the grip end to check before swinging, when actually swinging It is desirable to be able to select a golf club that satisfies these sensory values.

  However, in the conventional golf club design method described above, the golf club is not designed in consideration of the above three factors, and it is not possible to select a golf club or golf club set that satisfies the sensual requirements for the golfer. It was difficult.

  In addition, the golf clubs described in JP-A-2001-87424, JP-A-2000-202070, or JP-A-2000-202069 do not take into account the above three elements, so that the sensual requirements for golfers The golf clubs and golf club sets that satisfy the requirements have not necessarily become.

  Hereinafter, a golf club selection support device, a golf club selection tool, a golf club selection method, and a golf club design method according to embodiments of the present invention will be described.

  First, the golf club selection support apparatus in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 13, a golf club selection support device 1 in the present embodiment is a device used when selecting a golf club, and includes a central processing unit (CPU) 2, an input device 3, and a storage device. 4 and a display device 5.

  The storage device 4 has a first moment value with a fulcrum at or near the grip end of the golf club (preferably in the range from the grip end to about 170 mm), and the grip end or in the vicinity (preferably about 170 mm from the grip end). Basic data relating to the equivalent single pendulum length which is the value of the ratio of the moment of inertia around the range) and the moment of inertia value with respect to the primary moment value is stored.

  The input device 3 inputs data relating to the primary moment, the moment of inertia, and the equivalent single pendulum length. The central processing unit 2 compares the data input by the input device 3 with the basic data stored in the storage device 4 and outputs a comparison result. The display device 5 displays the output result of the central processing unit 2.

  Next, an example of a golf club selection method using the golf club selection support device 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 12, using a reference golf club (hereinafter referred to as “reference club”), the “weight when gripped (weight)” and the weight when wuggled. Take a questionnaire about a certain “wuggle weight” and “ease of timing” when you actually swing.

  As a result of the study by the present inventor, this “weight when gripped (weight)” and “primary moment (typically the primary moment with the grip end or the right hand end surface up to about 170 mm as a fulcrum) ) ”,“ Wuggle weight ”,“ Inertia moment (typically, the moment of inertia with the grip end or right hand end face up to about 170 mm) ”,“ Ease of timing ”and“ Equivalent pendulum length ” Was found to be correlated, so the questionnaire results for "weight when gripped (weight)" were used as data for "primary moment", and the questionnaire results for "wuggle weight" were "inertia" As the data related to “moment”, the questionnaire results related to “ease of timing” were As data, via the input device 3 to enter the golf club selection support apparatus 1.

  The input data and the basic data stored in advance in the storage device 4 are compared by the central processing unit 2, and processing such as selection of necessary data and range narrowing by the input data is performed. Then, the processing result is displayed on the display device 5. As a display method, for example, display on a screen or display by sound can be considered. The optimum golf club can be selected in consideration of the golfer's sensual value with reference to the display result.

  The “primary moment” is a value represented by the mass (Mc) of the golf club × the distance (R) from the vicinity of the grip end of the golf club to the center of gravity, and the “moment of inertia” is the grip. This is the amount indicated by rotating the golf club around the end, and the “equivalent simple pendulum length” is a value obtained from the moment of inertia / primary moment.

As the basic data to be stored in the storage device 4, typically, the vertical axis represents the moment of inertia (I _GE) to (Y-axis), first-order moment on the horizontal axis (X axis) (M _C R ), And a straight line satisfying the relational expression (I _GE / M _C R) can be given as the equivalent single pendulum length. However, any data other than the above graph can be used as long as it shows the relationship among the moment of inertia (I _GE ), the primary moment (M _C R), and the equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R). Can be adopted.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the above graph. In FIG. 1, Dr1, Dr2, and Dr3 are golf clubs in which the length, shaft mass, and grip mass of the golf club are made equal and the head mass is changed. By changing only the head mass by 5 g each, the moment of inertia around the grip end (I _GE ), the primary moment (M _C R), and the equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) may be different. Recognize. Table 1 shows the masses of parts and measured values of the golf clubs Dr1 to Dr5. In Table 1, “14” balance ”means 14 inch balance.

The golf clubs Dr1, Dr4, and Dr5 are golf clubs having the same club length, head mass, and grip mass, and changing only the shaft mass. By changing the 10g shaft mass only, the first-order moment _(M C R) and equivalent pendulum length _(I GE _{/ M} C R) is different from the moment of inertia _{(I GE)} it can be seen that substantially the same. FIG. 2 shows the bending rigidity distribution of the shafts in the golf clubs Dr1 to Dr5.

  Tables 2 to 4 below show the evaluation results of the above five golf clubs Dr1 to Dr5 by five functional testers. For these five sensory testers, professional golfers with high analytical ability are selected as product testers. Among them, S, A, and B are ranked in descending order of sensory evaluation ability.

  There are three sensory evaluation items: “weight when gripped (weight)”, “weight of waggle”, and “ease of timing”. As the sensory evaluation method, the most representative “pair comparison method” of the sensory test was used. As for “weight when gripped” (weight) and “wuggle weight”, “same” – “slightly heavy” – “heavy” three-level evaluation, “easy timing” Was also expressed in a five-step evaluation: “Same”-“Slightly different (small)”-“Greatly different (large)”.

As shown in Table 2, regarding the “weight when gripped (weight)”, it is understood that the difference in the sensory value increases as the difference in the first moment (M _C R) increases. Among the combinations in Table 2, the difference between the first moment (M _C R) values of Dr1 and Dr4 is the smallest value of about 3%, and the comparison result of these two golf clubs was judged to be “same”. There were 2 professional golfers and 3 professional golfers who judged that “Dr1 is a little heavy”.

Therefore, it is possible to replace the “weight when gripped (weight)” with the parameter of the first moment (M _C R), and it can be determined that the threshold value of whether or not it can be determined is about 3%. .

From this result, when Dr1 is used as a reference club and a feeling of “weight (holding weight) when gripped” is required, a golf club having a large first moment (M _C R) is selected, that is, the graph of FIG. It can be seen that a golf club located on the right side of Dr1 may be selected.

Regarding “Wuggle weight”, as shown in Table 3, the difference in the moment of inertia (I _GE ) value between Dr1 and Dr4 is as small as 1% or less, and the comparison result of these two golf clubs is “same” There were three professional golfers who judged, and two professional golfers who judged that “Dr1 is a little heavy”.

Therefore, the “wuggle weight” can be replaced with a parameter called the moment of inertia (I _GE ), and it can be determined that the threshold value of whether or not it can be determined is about 1%.

From this result, when Dr1 is used as a reference club and a “wuggle weight” feeling is required, a golf club having a large moment of inertia (I _GE ) is selected, that is, positioned above Dr1 in the graph of FIG. It can be seen that a golf club should be selected.

Regarding the “ease of timing”, as shown in Table 4, the difference in equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) between Dr1 and Dr2 is as small as 2% or less. As a result of comparison, three professional golfers judged to be “same” and two professional golfers judged to be “slightly different”.

Therefore, the “ease of timing” can be replaced with a parameter of equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R), and it can be determined that the threshold of whether or not it can be determined is about 2%.

From this result, in order to set Dr1 as the reference club and not change the “easy timing”, the position is on the same straight line indicating the equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) on the graph of FIG. It can be seen that a golf club to be selected may be selected.

From the above, information on the sensory values of the golfer such as “weight when gripped (weight)”, “wuggle weight”, “easy timing” is obtained using Dr1 as a reference club. Optimum golf club in consideration of sensory values by narrowing down the range based on a graph including moment (M _C R), moment of inertia (I _GE ) and equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) Can be selected.

  As the reference club Dr1, it is desirable to select a golf club having an average specification suitable for the time. The reference club Dr1 selected in the present embodiment has a head mass of 198 g, a shaft mass of 65 g, a flex of S, and a grip mass of 50 g.

  As for the sensory test, a simple questionnaire on “weight when gripped (weight)”, “weight of waggle”, “easy timing”, for example, very heavy-heavy-normal- Light-very light and can be done with a five-step absolute rating method. Further, when selecting the flex of the shaft, it is desirable to use the “flex shaft selection device optimal for golfers” described in Japanese Patent No. 3061640 by the same inventor as the present application.

Next, the position of the fulcrum will be described. FIG. 3 shows the relationship when the first moment (M _C R), the moment of inertia (I _GE ), and the equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) are located at a position 135 mm from the grip end. It is a graph.

  Comparing FIG. 3 and FIG. 1, it can be seen that although the absolute value of each item is different due to the difference in the fulcrum, the positional relationship of the data regarding each of the golf clubs Dr1 to Dr5 is the same.

  FIG. 4 shows the linear density distribution of the carbon shaft produced by the sheet wrapping method used in the present embodiment. As can be seen from this figure, the line density distribution is almost uniform from the grip end to about 170 mm, and an equivalent result can be obtained even if the vicinity of the grip in this range is used as a fulcrum, except that a material having a different specific gravity is used for this portion. It is considered a thing.

FIG. 5 shows the relationship when the first moment (M _C R), the moment of inertia (I _GE ), and the equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) are supported at a position 200 mm from the grip end. It is a graph.

It is the moment of inertia (I _GE ) value that is most affected by changing the fulcrum position. This is because the moment of inertia (I _GE ) is represented by the moment of inertia (I _GE ) = the moment of inertia around the center of gravity + the mass of the golf club × (the distance from the fulcrum to the position of the center of gravity) ² .

Table 5 shows the values of moment of inertia (I _GE ) at each fulcrum position, and Table 6 shows the values of the ratios based on Dr1.

  When the grip end is the fulcrum for the “wuggle weight” of Dr1 and Dr5 and Dr1 and Dr4, the judgment of the sensory tester is divided even by a difference of 1% or less with respect to Dr1.

As shown in Table 6, when the position at 135 mm from the grip end is used as a fulcrum, the difference between Dr4 and Dr5's moment of inertia (I _GE ) value and that of Dr1 is 1% or less. It is considered equivalent to the case where the fulcrum is used. However, when the position 200 mm from the grip end is used as a fulcrum, the difference between the Dr1 inertia moment (I _GE ) value and the Dr5 inertia moment (I _GE ) value is 1% or more. It is difficult to think that it is equivalent to

Therefore, it can be said that the range from the grip end to the right hand end up to about 170 mm is a fulcrum position suitable for measuring the moment of inertia (I _GE ) even in the form of swing.

  Next, the golf club selection tool in the present embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Golf club selection tool according to the present embodiment includes a first-order moment _(M C R), and the moment of inertia _{(I GE),} the value of the ratio of moment of inertia _{(I GE)} for the first-order moment _(M C R) It is provided with a graph portion in which a certain single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) is written together.

Specifically, for example, FIG. 1 and the like in which the first moment (M _C R), the moment of inertia (I _GE ), and the equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) are shown together on the surface of the cardboard, for example. For golf club selection in the present embodiment, a graph pasted or printed, or a graph pasted or printed on the surface of a base member made of a material other than paper such as metal, plastic, rubber, etc. It can be adopted as a tool.

  By using such a golf club selection tool, first moment, inertia based on questionnaire results on “weight when gripped (weight)”, “wuggle weight” and “easy timing” The corresponding golf club can be selected using a graph that represents both the moment and the equivalent single pendulum length. Thereby, it is possible to easily select a golf club that satisfies the sensual requirements for the golfer.

  Next, an example of a golf club selection method using the above-described golf club selection tool will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 11, first, using a reference club, “weight when gripped (held weight)” is determined. Thus, the primary moment (M _C R) value of the reference club is determined. In the example of FIG. 11, five-level evaluation is performed, and a first moment (M _C R) value is set for each determination result. Based on this value, the optimum range in the graph shown on the golf club selection tool is selected.

Next, a waggle operation is performed using the reference club to determine the “wuggle weight”. Thus, the inertia moment (I _GE ) value of the reference club is determined. This “wuggle weight” is also evaluated in five stages, and a moment of inertia (I _GE ) value is set for each determination result. Based on this value, the optimum range in the graph shown on the golf club selection tool is selected.

Next, a swing is performed using the reference club, and “ease of timing” is determined. Accordingly, the equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) of the reference club is determined. This “ease of timing” is also evaluated in five stages, and the value of the equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) is set for each determination result. Based on this value, the optimum range in the graph shown on the golf club selection tool is selected.

  With the above evaluation, it is possible to narrow down the range of golf clubs having an optimum mass distribution, and it is possible to easily select golf clubs that satisfy the sensory requirements for golfers. Note that each determination regarding “weight when gripped (weight)”, “wuggle weight”, and “easy timing” is not necessarily performed in the above order, and the order of each determination step is changed. May be.

  Next, another example of the golf club selection method will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the following description, a method capable of selecting an optimum mass distribution based on the golf club Dr1 will be described. Dr1 is a golf club with an average specification for S flex users, but it may be based on R flex according to the target, and it is a standard that targets a senior golfer with a lighter head. You may hire a club.

  FIG. 6 shows a chart for selecting an optimum mass distribution. The number of golf clubs that can be selected in this example is 117. However, the number of golf clubs can be set arbitrarily.

As shown in FIG. 6, in this example, for each golf club, a chart in which data of moment of inertia (I _GE ), first moment (M _C R), and equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) are plotted. Is used. The data of each golf club can be displayed, for example, by inputting it into a database on a personal computer simultaneously with the release of a new product.

  First, a questionnaire is conducted on the “weight when gripped (weight)” using the reference club Dr1. In this questionnaire, it is assumed that a result that “weight when gripped (weight)” is “slightly heavy” with respect to the reference club Dr1 is obtained.

In this case, the first-order moment _(M C R) value first moment criterion club Dr1 _(M C R) Golf smaller than a predetermined value than the value club, for example, first-order moment _(M C R) value of the reference clubs Dr1 A golf club is selected that is smaller than its first moment (M _C R) value by more than 3% (less than M _C R × 0.97). As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, it can be narrowed down to 32 golf clubs.

  Next, the reference club Dr1 is used again, and a questionnaire about “Wuggle weight” is conducted. In this questionnaire, it is assumed that the result that “the waggle weight” is “heavy” with respect to the reference club Dr1 is obtained.

In this case, the moment of inertia _{(I GE)} values of inertia moment of the reference clubs Dr1 _{(I GE)} Golf Club smaller than a predetermined value than the value, for example, the moment of inertia _{(I GE)} values of inertia moment of the reference clubs Dr1 _{(I GE)} A golf club is selected that is less than its value by more than 2% (less than I _GE × 0.98). As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, it can be narrowed down to 20 golf clubs.

  Next, the reference club Dr1 is used again, and a questionnaire regarding “ease of timing” is conducted. In this questionnaire, it is assumed that a result that “ease of timing” is “just right” is obtained for the reference club Dr1.

In this case, a golf club within ± 2% of the value of the equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) of the reference club Dr1 is selected. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, it is possible to narrow down to three golf clubs. Thus, it is possible to narrow down the golf clubs using the graph shown in FIG. 6 and the like and select a desired golf club.

  Next, an example of a golf club design method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, a method for determining the mass of each part of a golf club will be described.

  The golf club described below is developed so that the skill level is advanced and the skill level is Dr8 <Dr6 <Dr7.

Each golf club Dr6, Dr7, "weight at the time of the grip (have weight)" in Dr8 feeling with a difference first-order moment (M C _R) the value of 3% or more to feel the difference for, "Wagguru weight "Inertia moment (I _GE ) value is different by 1% or more so as to feel a difference in feeling, and equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) is felt so that" feeling of timing "is equally felt Within ± 2% of the value of.

  FIG. 10 shows an example in which the head mass, shaft mass, and grip mass are set so that the golfer feels as described above. FIG. 10 shows a case where the grip end is a fulcrum. Table 7 shows mass examples and characteristics of the parts of the golf clubs Dr6, Dr7, and Dr8.

  The golf clubs Dr6, Dr7, and Dr8 shown in FIG. 10 and Table 7 are the same while changing the weight when gripping and changing the weight when wuggling by changing the head mass, shaft mass, and grip mass. It is an example of mass setting of a golf club that can be shaken at timing.

By appropriately setting the primary moment (M _C R) value, the moment of inertia (I _GE ) value, and the equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) value of each golf club as described above, The weight of each part of the golf club can be determined in consideration of the sensory values for the golfer, such as “weight (weight)”, “wuggle weight”, and “easy timing”. Therefore, it is possible to design a golf club that satisfies the sensual requirements for the golfer.

  Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following embodiments, a golf club selection support device capable of selecting a golf club set, a golf club selection tool, a golf club set selection method, and a golf club set design method will be described.

In the research by the inventors of the present application, in addition to the above-mentioned contents, McR, I _GE , Lp (= I _GE / McR) are used to achieve the “head speed up” and “ball initial speed up” that golfers demand most. and Mc, the balance of Mh is important, from the sensibility face of the "how feel golfer to swing a golf club" is, McR, that the balance of _{I GE, Lp (= I GE} / McR) is important Has also been found.

Here, Mh is the club head mass, Mc is the total club mass, R is the distance from the fulcrum of the grip part to the center of gravity of the club, and McR is the primary moment (typically up to about 170 mm on the grip end or right hand end face). 1 _GE ), I _GE is the moment of inertia (typically the moment of inertia up to about 170 mm on the grip end or right hand end face), and Lp (= I _GE / McR) is typically the grip It is the equivalent single pendulum length with the end or right hand end face up to about 170 mm.

  As the knowledge to realize “head speed-up” and “ball initial speed-up” and “how golfers feel by swinging a golf club” are clearly clarified, wood and iron It is desirable to be able to select a golf club set that suits the golfer with a high level of golfer satisfaction, but in the past, a number of golf clubs were actually tested and hit. The selection of the golf club set requires a lot of labor, such as holding the golf club in hand or rotating the head around the grip end as a fulcrum. Therefore, there has been a demand for a method for easily selecting a golf club set that suits oneself.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the balance of McR, I _GE , Lp (= I _GE / McR), etc. for achieving the “head speed up” most desired by the golfer with respect to the golf club, and “the golfer swings the golf club What feel or "McR for from Kansei surface to achieve the satisfaction of _{golfers, I GE, Lp (= I} GE / McR) while harmonizing the balance of, high golf club set of golfer of satisfaction in a simple and We propose a method that can select.

It should be noted that a golf club set with a high level of golfer satisfaction is considered to be a golf club set composed of golf clubs that can swing to the same extent for all golf clubs during a swing by a golfer. In such a golf club set with high golfer satisfaction, the parameters McR, I _GE and Lp (= I _GE / McR) have regularity. More specifically, for example, McR, I _GE , and Lp of each golf club in the set have highly correlated functionalities and regularities such as being able to approximate a predetermined linear expression or quadratic expression.

  Moreover, in the club set which can be similarly swung, it can be estimated that the head speed when the golfer swings the golf club of each count also has the functionality and regularity. In a golf club set composed of a plurality of golf clubs including woods and irons, in order to provide regularity to “ball jump” by each golf club, regularity of the club head mass and the loft angle and score of the head The balance of the line or the like (strictly speaking, the spring constant of the face portion is also related but is ignored here) needs to be appropriate.

  Hereinafter, a golf club selection support device, a golf club selection tool, a golf club set selection method, and a golf club set design method in the present embodiment will be specifically described.

  The golf club selection support device in the present embodiment selects a golf club set, but the basic configuration is the same as that illustrated in FIG. That is, the golf club selection support device includes a central processing unit (CPU), an input device, a storage device, and a display device.

  The storage device includes a first moment value with a fulcrum at or near the grip end of each golf club in the golf club set (preferably in a range from the grip end to about 170 mm), and the grip end or the vicinity thereof (preferably the grip end). Basic data relating to the equivalent simple pendulum length, which is the value of the ratio of the moment of inertia around the range from about 170 mm to about 170 mm and the moment of inertia value with respect to the primary moment value.

As basic data stored in the storage device, typically, the vertical axis (Y axis) takes the moment of inertia (I _GE ) and the horizontal axis (X axis) takes the primary moment (M _C R). As a single pendulum length, a graph describing a straight line that satisfies the relational expression of (I _GE / M _C R) can be cited, but the moment of inertia (I _GE ), the primary moment (M _C R), and the equivalent single pendulum Any data other than the above graph can be adopted as long as the relationship with the length (I _GE / M _C R) is shown.

  The input device inputs data relating to the primary moment, the moment of inertia and the equivalent simple pendulum length of each golf club in the golf club set. The central processing unit performs various calculations based on the data input by the input device and the basic data stored in the storage device, and outputs the results. For example, the central processing unit compares basic data with input data, specifies an appropriate range based on the input data, extracts golf clubs belonging to the range, and creates straight lines and curves indicating the tendency of the input data. It calculates and outputs the regularity of the golf clubs in the golf club set, or associates the input data with the basic data and outputs the result. The display device displays the output result of the central processing unit.

  Next, a method for selecting a golf club set in the present embodiment will be described.

  For example, when selecting a wood club set that matches a golfer's favorite iron club set, the golf club set selection method has the flow of an iron club set, that is, one of the numbered golf clubs in the iron club set. A step of determining a primary moment value of a reference golf club among a plurality of drivers having regularity similar to the regularity of characteristic values such as a second moment value and a moment of inertia value, and the reference golf club And a step of determining an equivalent simple pendulum length value which is a ratio of a moment of inertia value to a primary moment value of a reference golf club.

  As another example, when a golf club favorite driver or an iron club set that matches a wood club set including a driver is selected, the golf club set selection method has a wood club flow, that is, a wood club set. A step of determining a primary moment value of a reference iron club in a plurality of sets having regularity similar to regularity of characteristic values such as a primary moment value and a moment of inertia value of each golf club in the club set Determining a moment of inertia value of the reference golf club, and determining a value of an equivalent simple pendulum length, which is a ratio of the moment of inertia value to the primary moment value of the reference golf club. Prepare.

  Hereinafter, an example of a golf club set selection method using the above-described golf club selection support device will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 16 to 25. In the following example, a case will be described in which a wood club set that matches an iron club set that a golfer likes is selected.

  First, as shown in Fig. 14, we conduct a questionnaire to investigate the club set currently owned and used by the customer, the troubled club and count that you are thinking about replacement or purchase, and what you want to do with that club / count Ask. After that, the golf club which is a standard among a plurality of drivers having the flow of an iron club set (hereinafter referred to as a “reference club”) “was gripped (weight)” and wobbled. Take a questionnaire about the “weight of the waggle”, which is the weight of the time, and “ease of timing” when you actually swing.

  As another example, when selecting an iron club set that matches a golf club favorite driver or a wood club set including a driver, a reference iron club or iron club in a plurality of sets having a wood club flow For the set, take a questionnaire about "weight when gripped (weight)", "wuggle weight" which is the weight when waggle movement, and "easy timing" when actually swinging .

  Also, if you want to purchase a new golf club set that suits you or want to replace the golf club set, select a driver that suits you from various drivers, and an iron club that has this driver flow. If you take a questionnaire about the “weight when gripped (weight)”, “wuggle weight” that is the weight when you waggle, and “easy timing” when you actually swing Often, an iron club set that suits you is selected from a variety of iron club sets. For drivers with this iron club set flow, “weight when gripped (weight)”, weight when wuggling "Waggle weight", "Ease of timing" when you actually swing It should take the questionnaire with.

  In addition, if each parameter is measured and input for each golf club in the club set currently owned and used by the customer, it is possible to grasp the tendency and variation of the characteristic value such as the first moment value of each golf club. There is also a possibility that the cause of the troubled club or count can be determined.

FIG. 16 shows an example of the initial screen of the golf club selection support apparatus. As shown in FIG. 16, on the initial screen, the primary moment (M _C R), inertia moment (I _GE ), and equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) of the driver and iron set that can be the reference club And are displayed. Here, 14 drivers and 4 iron sets are displayed, but a club that is not displayed can also be a reference club.

  As described above, “weight when gripped (weight)” and “primary moment (typically the primary moment with the grip end or right hand end surface up to about 170 mm)”, “wuggle weight ”And“ moment of inertia (typically moments of inertia with a grip end or right hand end surface of up to about 170 mm) ”,“ ease of timing ”and“ equivalent simple pendulum length ” , “Questionnaire's weight (weight)” is the data for “Primary Moment”, “Waggle Weight” is the data for “Inertia Moment” The results of the questionnaire about “ease” are used as data related to “equivalent single pendulum length” as a golf course via an input device. Is input to the blanking selection support apparatus.

  An example of the screen after data input is shown in FIG. The set O in FIG. 17 is the input iron club set data. When inputting data, it is preferable to input data of an iron club set that a golfer likes. The favorite iron club may be your own club that is currently in use, or it may be an iron club you like by trying. It is even better to enter the actual measured data.

  Various processing is performed by the central processing unit based on the data input as described above and the basic data stored in advance in the storage device, the range of the basic data based on the input data is narrowed, the necessary data is selected, etc. To do. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, a tolerance range for the data of the set O is calculated and displayed, and a reference club is selected from drivers belonging to this tolerance range. As a result, a plurality of drivers can be selected according to the flow of an iron club set that a golfer likes, and one of the drivers can be selected as a reference club. Then, using the reference club, each determination and trial strike regarding “weight when gripped (weight)”, “weight of waggle”, and “easy to take timing” are performed.

“Driver along the iron club flow” means that the tolerance within the set of primary moment (M _C R), which is “weight when gripped (weight)”, is ± 0.004 kg · m The tolerance within the set of moments of inertia (I _GE ) that is “the waggle weight” is within the range of ± 0.001 kg · m ² .

  Based on the data obtained from the above-mentioned reference club, as shown in FIG. 19, a driver who likes a certain golfer is selected. Then, the wood club set including the selected driver and the set along the flow of the iron club set is displayed on the screen as an appropriate club set as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 20, the wood club set on the straight line obtained by extending the straight line connecting the data of each iron golf club in the iron club set is selected as the wood club set along the flow of the iron club set.

  Have a golfer try the wood club set, including the above driver, to see if it is appropriate. As a display method, not only the display on the screen as described above but also the display by sound can be considered. With reference to this display result, an optimal golf club set can be selected in consideration of the golfer's sensual value.

  Furthermore, when there is a request of “I want to try a club set that is easier to swing”, for example, as shown in FIG. 21, a “trial club” is proposed, and the golf club actually makes a trial hit on the golf club, Ask them if they are appropriate. If it is determined that the golfer can easily swing, a golf club set including “trial club” (“trial club set 1”) can be proposed as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 23 shows what the “appropriate club set” data shown in FIG. 22 will be when the fulcrum is 170 mm. From this result, it can be seen that there is no significant difference between the fulcrum as the grip end (in the case of FIG. 22) and 170 mm from the grip end (in the case of FIG. 23). It can be seen that appropriate data can be obtained at any position within the range of the distance to the right hand end up to about 170 mm.

  In addition, when the parameters of the vertical and horizontal axes of the graph are changed, for example, when the equivalent single pendulum length is taken on the vertical axis and the primary moment is taken on the horizontal axis, the equivalent simple pendulum length is taken on the vertical axis, and the inertia moment is taken on the horizontal axis. FIG. 24 and FIG. 25 show how the “appropriate club set” shown in FIG. From these figures, it can be seen that similar results can be obtained even when the parameters of the vertical axis and horizontal axis of the graph are changed, and that the “appropriate club set” shown in FIG. 23 and the like is generally appropriate.

  Table 8 shows the length of each iron club set (set O, X, Y, Z) and the wood club set, each mass, primary moment, moment of inertia, and equivalent single pendulum length. However, the shaft center-of-gravity ratio indicates the ratio of the distance from the grip end side of the shaft to the position of the center of gravity with respect to the total shaft length in%.

  In addition, the inventors of the present application described the “weight when gripped (weight)” and “primary moment (typically, the first moment with the grip end or up to about 170 mm of the right hand end surface)”, Regarding the tolerances of “Waggle Weight” and “Inertia Moment (Typically, Moment of Inertia with a grip end or right hand end surface of about 170mm as a fulcrum)”, “Ease of Timing” and “Equivalent Single Pendulum Length” Recognize like.

The threshold for determining whether or not “weight when gripped (held weight)” is about 3% (approximately 0.008 kg · m), so within the range of ± 0.004 kg · m within the set Is a preferred range. In addition, since the threshold value for determining whether or not “the waggle weight” can be determined is about 1% (approximately 0.002 kg · m ² ), the range within ± 0.001 kg · m ² is a preferable range in the set. To do. In addition, since the threshold for determining whether “timability of timing” can be determined is about 2% (approximately 0.02 m), within the set, a range of ± 0.01 m is a preferable range.

  Next, a golf club selection tool according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

Golf club selection tool according to the present embodiment includes a first-order moment (M _C R), and the moment of inertia _{(I GE),} the value of the ratio of moment of inertia _{(I GE)} for the first-order moment (M _C R) It is provided with a graph portion in which a certain single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) is written together.

Specifically, for example, a graph shown in FIG. 15 in which the first moment (M _C R), the moment of inertia (I _GE ), and the equivalent single pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) are shown together on the surface of cardboard. A golf club selection tool according to the present embodiment, which is affixed or printed, or affixed or printed with the graph on the surface of a base member made of a material other than paper, such as metal, plastic, or rubber Can be adopted as.

  By using such a golf club selection tool, first moment, inertia based on questionnaire results on “weight when gripped (weight)”, “wuggle weight” and “easy timing” A corresponding golf club set can be selected using a graph representing both moment and equivalent single pendulum length. Thereby, it is possible to easily select a golf club set that satisfies the sensual requirements for the golfer.

  Next, an example of a golf club set selection method using the above-described golf club selection tool will be described.

First, based on the questionnaire, the “weight when gripped (weight)” is determined using the reference club. Thus, the primary moment (M _C R) value of the reference club is determined. For example, a five-stage evaluation is performed, and a first moment (M _C R) value is obtained for each determination result. Based on this value, the optimum range in the graph shown on the golf club selection tool is selected.

Next, a waggle operation is performed using the reference club to determine the “wuggle weight”. Thus, the inertia moment (I _GE ) value of the reference club is determined. This “wuggle weight” is also evaluated in five stages, and a moment of inertia (I _GE ) value is obtained for each determination result. Based on this value, the optimum range in the graph shown on the golf club selection tool is selected.

Next, a swing is performed using the reference club, and “ease of timing” is determined. So that the thereby determined corresponding pendulum length of the reference clubs _{(I GE / M C R)} . This “ease of timing” is also evaluated in five stages, and the value of the corresponding simple pendulum length (I _GE / M _C R) is obtained for each determination result. Based on this value, the optimum range in the graph shown on the golf club selection tool is selected.

  With the above evaluation, the range of golf club sets having an optimal mass distribution can be narrowed down, and a golf club set that satisfies the sensory requirements for a golfer can be easily selected. Note that each determination regarding “weight when gripped (weight)”, “wuggle weight”, and “easy timing” is not necessarily performed in the above order, and the order of each determination step is changed. May be.

  Next, an example of a golf club set design method according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, a method for determining the mass of each part of a golf club will be described.

  In FIG. 26, the grip mass is about 50 g, the center of gravity ratio of the shaft (the ratio of the distance from the grip end side of the shaft to the center of gravity relative to the total shaft length) is 46 to 50%, and the swing balance (14 inch balance) of the club is D0. The following shows the tendency of the shaft mass in the relationship between “primary moment” and “moment of inertia” when the driver is set to 45 inches and the iron set is set to the conventional length. For reference, the case where the grip mass is about 40 g is also shown. This makes it possible to select the shaft mass for each set (the connection between the wood club set and the iron club set), and for club sets that have a smaller “primary moment” and “moment of inertia” Knowing what's good, the range of club choices also widens.

  In general, a club set with a large "first moment" and "moment of inertia" is developed for golfers with advanced golf skills and high skills. Conversely, "primary moment" and "inertia" The club set with a small “moment” does not matter the skill of golf, but it is developed for golfers who are easy to swing and do not have high ability. In particular, club sets with smaller “primary moment” and “moment of inertia” are developed for seniors and women.

  Next, it is described what the inclination of the relationship between the “primary moment” and the “moment of inertia” depends on.

  With respect to the club set O shown in FIG. 27 and Table 9, iron clubs of sets A, B, and C were prepared, and trial hits were performed. As shown in FIG. 27 and Table 9, each set has a heavier club as the number is larger. Set A is an iron set within the tolerance range with respect to Set O, and Set B is an iron set or set that greatly deviates from the tolerance range of Set O only for the club with the largest count (9 iron: 9I and pitching wedge: PW) C is a setting that deviates from the tolerance range of set O more than set B (No. 6 iron: 6I to pitching wedge: PW all deviates from the tolerance range).

  As a result of the trial hits of a set of A, B and C by a total of 13 senior and skilled golfers including 4 professional golfers, the results were as follows.

  Evaluation of set A: It is easy to swing without feeling the mass difference of the shaft (13 persons).

  Evaluation of set B: There is no sense of incongruity and it is easy to swing (11 persons). Not a little, I feel a difference in weight and discomfort (1 person). When you change from a large count to a small count, you get caught extremely (1 person).

  Evaluation of Set C: Large count feels weight overall and can swing relaxed (1 person). Large counts are heavy and difficult to swing. The bigger the count, the easier the head returns and hooks (12 people).

  From this result, regarding the inclination of the slope in the graph representing the relationship between the “primary moment” and the “moment of inertia”, the more gentle the slope (the smaller the absolute value of the slope), It was found that a club with a small count is a club set that is light and easy to swing. In addition, the steeper inclination (the absolute value of the inclination is larger) has a feature that “a club with a smaller count can swing more slowly with the weight of the club, and a club with a higher count is lighter and easier to swing”. I understood that.

Based on the results of investigating a plurality of other club sets and the results of trial hits, the present inventors have shown that “all sets, club sets that can be swung in the same way” represent the relationship between “primary moment” and “moment of inertia”. Findings that the slope at the iron club set is -0.75 to -0.40 (kgm ² / kgm) and the wood club set is -1.00 to -0.65 (kgm ² / kgm). Got.

Further, from the results of the test hit, between the adjacent counts in the set, the tolerance of the primary moment (McR) is ± 0.004 kg · m and the tolerance of the inertia moment (I _GE ) is ± 0.001 kg · m ^2. It has also been found that if there is a club that deviates from, it tends to cause a sense of incongruity.

  Therefore, when setting a club set that can swing loosely with the weight of the club without a sense of incongruity with the count in the set, or a club set that puts a club that is easy to swing, make the gap between adjacent counts within tolerance, and It is necessary to gradually change the slope of the relationship between the “primary moment” and the “moment of inertia”.

  FIG. 28 shows an example of a club set in which the larger club in the set can swing with the weight of the club without a sense of incongruity as “Trial Club Set 2”, and the larger club in the set becomes lighter and less uncomfortable. An example of a club set that is easy to swing is represented as “trial club set 3”.

For a golfer, the design of a golf club set that satisfies more appropriate and sensual requirements is that the first moment (M _C R) value, the moment of inertia (I) of each golf club to meet the above findings and sensual requirements. _GE) values, can be done by corresponding appropriately setting the value of pendulum length _{(I GE / M C R)} , the result "weight when the grip (weight have)", "Wagguru weight", " It is possible to easily determine the mass of each part of the golf club in consideration of the sensory value such as “ease of timing”.
