Tempo maintaining golf clubs

Abstract

The holy grail of golf is to create a set of clubs that facilitate a consistent swing one where the golfer's tempo and/or ball striking accuracy remain relatively constant between clubs. The human body is such that tempo changes as shaft length and club head weight are varied. By measuring tempo at various length and weight combinations and forming a range of length/weight combinations that produce a consistent swing, it is possible to construct a set of golf clubs that meets target distances while maintaining tempo and accuracy.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method for creating a set of at least two golf clubs comprising: 
 determining a chosen set of shaft length and club head weight combinations that provide a golfer with a desired consistent swing level;    determining a desired targeted distance for each club in a set of at least two golf clubs;    modifying characteristics of each club in said set of at least two golf clubs to achieve said desired targeted distance while maintaining said desired consistent swing level.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said characteristics comprise: golf club head impact loft angle and a specific shaft length/club head weight combination selected from said chosen set.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said desired consistent swing level comprises swing elements repeatable within an acceptable range of variation for a given shaft length/club weight combination.  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3  wherein said acceptable range of variation comprises a selected confidence interval.  
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3  wherein said swing elements are selected from the group consisting of: swing tempo, ball-striking accuracy, and any combination thereof.  
     
     
         6 . A set of at least two golf clubs created by the method of claim  1 .
