A diagnostic golf club system having a diagnostic golf club, an interface means and a computing means is disclosed herein. The diagnostic golf club includes a plurality of sensors, an internal power supply, and a non-volatile memory for capturing data relating to a golf swing. The interface means is capable of transferring data from the diagnostic golf club to the computing means for processing the data and presenting the data in a useful and informative format. The data may be used to determine a shaft flex profile for a particular golfer.

Diagnostic golf club system

Magnetically or optically detectable elements are arranged on a substrate so as to encode information to be stored. An information carrier comprises a plurality of individual detectable elements supported by, or incorporated in, a substrate wherein the spacing between the elements serves to encode the information and is such that it can be represented as A+MG, wherein A is a first fixed value, m is an integer (which may be zero) and G is a second fixed value, characterized in that the values of the integer m, are selected to be integers derived by a predetermined mathematical sequence or a random sequence generator.

Information coding techniques

In a method of interpreting coded information carriers, a plurality of magnetic elements supported by, or incorporated in, a substrate, are interrogated. The relative positions and/or physical dimensions of the magnetic elements represent the information encoded by the information carrier. The relative positions and/or physical dimensions are determined from the relative velocity between an interrogating signal and each of the magnetic elements.

Coded label information extraction method

A diagnostic golf club system having a diagnostic golf club, an interface means and a computing means is disclosed herein. The diagnostic golf club includes a plurality of strain gauges, an internal power supply, and a non-volatile memory for capturing data relating to a golf swing. The interface means is capable of transferring data from the diagnostic golf club to the computing means for processing the data and presenting the data in a useful and informative format. The data may be used to determine a shaft flex profile for a particular golfer.
