Trajectory Modeling
Trajectory Profiling is particularly important (but not exclusively used) in driver fitting. After all, what good is using a Launch Monitor to generate shot data, if you don't know what to do with the data to determine the proper equipment specifications to optimize the golfer's?
Modern high tech club fitting teaches that maximum distance for ANY golfer can only come when the ball is launched at the highest launch angle with the lowest backspin and the highest ball velocity... but only if all three factors occur at the same time.
With our sophisticated Launch Modeling Software we are able to take your actual data generated on the launch monitor, analyze it to determine your optimal launch parameters to achieve your maximum distance. No more guessing, or trial and error!
Shaft Profiling
Shaft profiling is the latest concept in, not only, determining shaft flex, but also, to quantitatively catalog shaft playability characteristics. Gone is the old concept that flex is flex. Shaft profiling is the new way to look at shaft flex. Profiling a shaft can explain why two different shafts of the same flex (butt frequency measurement) often FEEL and PLAY dynamically different. Shaft profiling uses sensitive electronics to measure the deflection load (the flex) at predetermined points (zones) along the length of the shaft. Plotting this information provide a visual picture of the shafts “personality”.
Shaft Spinning
Essentially, shaft spinning is a technique used to orient the golf shaft in the head to optimize the performance and consistency of the shaft. The spinning process was developed because (despite precision manufacturing that improves every year), no golf shaft is perfectly round throughout its length. These deviations can affect performance.
CFI(Circumferential Flexural Integrity)
The roller system on the multi-match equipment is utilized to map the shaft's CFI, or Circumferential Flexural Integrity. This testing standard indicates how well a manufacturer has maintained the targeted flexure. Turning the shaft 360 degrees around its axis and recording the difference between the highest and lowest readings around the circumference of the shaft give insight to the consistency and symmetry and thus the shafts final performance. It is imperative to strive for this type of symmetry during the manufacturing process, since shot dispersion can be greatly affected by it.
Swing Profiling
Each golfer's swing is as unique as their finger print. Some people have long back swings, other have short back swing. Some people have long fluid tempos, other have quick tempos. The bottom line is its not how hard you swing, it's how you swing hard. That's why two golfers with the exact same swing speed, but different profiles, require different flex (and profile) shafts.
Our swing profiling system utilizes a computer chip and an accelerometer which records the acceleration pattern from which it can derive club release and the critical swing timing parameters at every .002 of a second. This profiling clearly defines the key indicators of a golfers swing-where and how much they load (peak deflection) the shaft and where they release the shaft relative to ball impact..
What is MOI Matching?
The MOI of any object is a measurement of its resistance to being placed in motion. Related to golf clubs, if each club in a set requires a different amount of force to swing the club (set it in motion), it stands to reason that the golfer cannot be as consistent swinging each different club in the set, as if each club were built to require the same force to swing. In most simple form, this is what sets MOI matching apart from matching clubs to the same swing weight. Swing weight matching does not make each club within a set the same in terms of the amount of force required by the golfer to make the swing and hit the shot. MOI matching does. However, because golfers can be quite different in their strength, tempo and swing mechanics, the right MOI must be identified and fit for each golfer to allow the concept to properly work.
