Method of developing a golf grip and swing and fitting equipment to a golf swing and ball travel

Abstract

Disclosed is forming a secure golf club gripping style using only the limbs of a body. A limb-only golf swing is thereafter produced using the formed grip, thus eliminating extraneous influences upon said golf swing, including but not limited to golf clubs and other golf equipment that can cause change and/or inconsistency in said swing. Also disclosed is a method of fitting equipment based on limb-only swing performance. One step comprises reproducing the limb-only golf swing as accurately as possible when any club is swung. Another step further comprises fitting the golf club to obtain any desired golf ball travel, wherein the swing performance attained in the prior fitting step is maintained as the principle priority in order to achieve the best overall swing performance and equipment fit. Hence, at least one golf club or other piece of equipment may be produced to any equipment specification(s) determined during the fitting process.

1 . A method of developing/analyzing a golf swing and fitting/making golf equipment based on said swing, comprising:
 forming a golf grip using only a body's limbs, whereby a golf swing can be performed absent any extraneous, swing-influencing elements, including but not limited to golf clubs;   developing and/or analyzing a limb-only pre-swing and/or swing of any style using said grip, whereby said pre-swing and/or swing can be developed and/or analyzed absent any extraneous, swing-influencing elements, including but not limited to golf clubs, that can affect the movement(s) and/or position(s) of said pre-swing and/or swing;   fitting and/or making at least one piece of golf equipment in accordance with the developed pre-swing and/or swing, whereby at least one part and/or specification of the at least one piece of golf equipment is selected and/or adjusted to reproduce the limb-only movement(s) and/or position(s) as accurately as possible when using the at least one piece of golf equipment; and   further fitting and/or making the at least one piece of golf equipment in accordance with desired ball travel and/or other non-swing-influencing factors of golfing performance, whereby the pre-swing and/or swing performance achieved in the preceding step is maintained as the more important priority in order to obtain the best overall equipment fit and golfing performance.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the golf grip is an overlapping style golf grip. 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the golf grip is an interlocking style golf grip. 
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one piece of golf equipment is made in accordance with the at least one part and/or specification determined for said equipment. 
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a computer-implemented process and/or golfing analyzer are/is used to aid in developing and/or analyzing the limb-only pre-swing and/or swing movement(s) and/or position(s) and/or the corresponding pre-swing and/or swing movement(s) and/or position(s) when using the at least one piece of golf equipment. 
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the timing and/or coordination of performed pre-swing and/or swing movement(s) and position(s) using the at least one piece of golf equipment reproduces the timing and/or coordination of correspondingly performed limb-only pre-swing and/or swing movement(s) and position(s) as precisely as possible. 
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one piece of golf equipment is a golf club and/or piece of wearing apparel that can affect pre-swing and/or swing performance. 
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the desired ball travel is adjusted through a fitting of at least one golf ball characteristic. 
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a computer-implemented process and/or golfing analyzer are/is used to aid in the fitting/making of the at least one piece of golf equipment in accordance with desired ball travel. 
   
   
       10 . A method of producing/analyzing a golf swing, comprising:
 forming a golf grip using only a body's limbs, whereby a golf swing can be performed absent any extraneous, swing-influencing elements, including but not limited to golf clubs; and   producing and/or analyzing a limb-only pre-swing and/or swing of any style using said golf grip, whereby said pre-swing and/or swing can be produced and/or analyzed absent any extraneous, swing-influencing elements, including but not limited to golf clubs, that can affect the movement(s) and/or position(s) of said p re-swing and/or swing.   
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the golf grip is an overlapping style golf grip. 
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the golf grip is an interlocking style golf grip. 
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the golf grip is a ten-finger style golf grip. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein a computer-implemented process and/or golfing analyzer are/is used to aid in producing and/or analyzing the limb-only golf grip, pre-swing, and/or swing movement(s) and/or position(s). 
   
   
       15 . A method of fitting/making golf equipment, comprising:
 fitting and/or making at least one piece of golf equipment in accordance with at least one pre-swing and/or swing movement and/or position created when using a limb-only golf grip and performing a limb-only pre-swing and/or swing, whereby at least one part and/or specification of the at least one piece of golf equipment is selected and/or adjusted to emulate the at least one limb-only movement and/or position as accurately as possible when using the at least one piece of golf equipment; and   further fitting and/or making the at least one piece of golf equipment in accordance with desired ball travel and/or other non-swing-influencing factors of golfing performance, whereby the pre-swing and/or swing performance achieved in the preceding step is maintained as the more important priority to obtain the best equipment fit and golfing performance.   
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein a computer-implemented process and/or a golfing analyzer are/is used to aid in producing, analyzing, and/or comparing the limb-only pre-swing and/or swing movement(s) and/or position(s) and/or the corresponding pre-swing and/or swing movement(s) and/or position(s) when using the at least one piece of golf equipment. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the timing and/or coordination of performed pre-swing and/or swing movement(s) and position(s) using the at least one piece of golf equipment emulates the timing and/or coordination of correspondingly performed limb-only pre-swing and/or swing movement(s) and position(s) as precisely as possible. 
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the at least one piece of equipment is produced according to the at least one part and/or specification determined for said equipment. 
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the desired ball travel is adjusted through a filling of at least one golf ball feature. 
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein a computer-implemented process and/or a golfing analyzer are/is used to aid in the fitting and/or making of the at least one piece of golf equipment in accordance with desired ball travel.
