Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a golf club selection method.

More specifically, it is possible to easily and accurately select the most suitable golf club according to the wishes and concerns of each individual golfer by answering the displayed items on the screen. This invention relates to a method for selecting a golf club by displaying the appearance and various specifications on a screen and allowing the user to select a golf club with a specific image in mind.

[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The number of people playing golf is steadily increasing with the increase in leisure time and interest in leisure, and various golf clubs are being manufactured and sold accordingly.

Conventional golf club selection is based on the height and physical strength of the golfer, the feeling when swinging the club, etc., and is extremely intuitive and primitive.

In addition, the characteristics of golf clubs are classified according to the shape of the head and the type of shaft, and it is determined by a single factor whether it is suitable for advanced players or beginners, or whether it is suitable for stable shots or large for unstable shots. A one-dimensional selection method is used.

However, if you rely solely on intuition, it is difficult to select a golf club that truly matches your swing characteristics, and as a result, you will continue to suffer from problems such as unstable shots, which will hinder your golf improvement. is the current situation. Furthermore, selection based on a single factor is too rough and ignores other characteristics of the golfer, and there is a problem in that it is not possible to make a fine-grained selection of love.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for selecting a golf club that can easily select a golf club that corresponds to the worries, aspirations, habits, and preferences of individual golfers.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The golf club selection method of the present invention stores in advance the type of golf club head, the shape and characteristics of the head, the type of shaft, the price, and the brand, and solves the problems of golfers. , a method for selecting the most suitable golf club for a golfer according to his/her symptoms, desire, ball course, or hitting style, the method comprising:
It is characterized by displaying questions on the screen, displaying the next question according to the golfer's answers, and after repeating such operations as appropriate, displaying the appearance and various specifications of the optimal golf club on the screen. There is.

[Example] Hereinafter, a method for selecting a golf club of the present invention will be explained based on the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of one embodiment of the golf club selection method of the present invention, and the same figure shows the procedure for selecting a wood club for a golfer who has trouble hitting the ball. .

In addition to the above-mentioned concerns golfers may have regarding wood clubs, such as ``unstable direction'' and ``want to control the ball,'' when you select the wood club selection menu, these are the first things that appear on the screen. Various troubles are displayed. When you select one of your concerns, the next set of questions corresponding to each concern will be displayed on the screen. 1st
In the example shown in the figure, a question is displayed asking whether you "want to fly even if you earn runs" or "want to fly with stable carry." If you select one of these options, you will be asked additional questions regarding the stability of your shot or how easily the ball will rise. In this way, for example, a golfer who wants to get more runs and longer distances but whose shots are unstable will be shown that a metal or carbon head with a relatively wide sweet spot is suitable. Golfers can choose between a metal head or a carbon head depending on their preference. Furthermore, by sequentially selecting shaft preferences and budget, at least one optimal golf club will be displayed from among commercially available golf clubs.

The display of this golf club includes not only the brand name but also
It includes the appearance and various specifications (club length, weight, shaft characteristics, lie angle, loft, etc.), allowing golfers to accurately select a golf club with a specific image in mind. can.

Answers to questions on the screen may be made by key operations, or may be made by pressing or lightly touching a designated area on the screen with a fingertip, and the present invention is not particularly limited to this. do not have.

Figure 1 shows a flowchart for selecting the best wood club for golfers who are worried about not being able to hit the ball far enough, but ``the direction is unstable.''
For golfers who have this problem (see Figure 2),
If you are a golfer who wants to control the ball (see Figure 3), you can select a golf club using the same procedure.

In FIG. 2, for example, if the more specific symptom of a person with unstable directionality is slicing, the type of compatible head will change depending on whether the head has power or not.

For people with power (people with high head speed), a metal head that releases the ball quickly and has a wide sweet spot is suitable, while for people without power (people with low head speed), it is suitable for people who have a fast ball release and a wide sweet spot. A carbon head is suitable because it is slower than metal and allows the ball to rise more easily. For metal heads, carbon-based shafts or steel-based shafts are suitable, and the golfer can select one of the three according to his preference. Furthermore, a carbon shaft is automatically selected for a carbon head. Next, when you answer the question about your budget, the appearance diagram and various specifications of the Optimum Narilove are displayed on the screen, as mentioned above.

The above explanation is based on the selection of wood clubs, but iron clubs can also be affected by problems such as ``no long distance,'' ``unstable direction,'' and ``long iron ball doesn't go up.'' “I want to zero in on the trajectory of a professional.”
Clubs are selected based on various concerns.

FIG. 4 shows a flowchart for selecting an iron club for a golfer who is worried about not being able to hit the ball far enough. Even if the problem is the same, if we analyze the specifics, the suitable head shape will differ depending on the stability of the shot and whether or not the ball goes up well. Accordingly, golfers' characteristics can be subdivided based on these questions to select the most suitable golf club. For example, a wide sweet area heel and toe type head with a wide point and a low center of gravity is selected for golfers who have unstable shots and have difficulty in raising the ball; For golfers (people with a certain amount of power), a strong loft type head with a high loft is selected. The flow after this operation is the same as in the case of the wood club described above.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for selecting the most suitable iron club for a golfer who suffers from ``unstable directionality.''

Similar to the case in Figure 4, there are more specific symptoms regarding unstable directionality (is it an overall slice type, or does it bend to the left or right?), and depending on the presence or absence of power, the golfer's The characteristics of golfers are subdivided, and clubs are selected according to the characteristics and symptoms of each golfer. In addition, in Figure 5, the conventional type corresponds to the Persimmon of Tsu Rad, and the point of impact is relatively narrow.
This is a club that requires power.

Peripheral weight distribution means that the outer periphery of the head surface is thicker, and the center part is thinner, making the hitting point wider, and in Tsu-Rad, it has characteristics comparable to metal or carbon.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the selection method of the present invention, by answering the questions displayed on the screen, golfers' worries, symptoms, habits, and
It is possible to select the most suitable golf club for the golfer, taking into consideration preferences and the like. Then, the appearance and various specifications of the selected golf club can be confirmed on the spot, and the club can be selected with a concrete image in mind.
