Abstract

An apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a measurement result of a golf swing motion, and a calculation unit configured to calculate a behavior of a shot by the golf swing motion. The measurement result includes a head speed, an incident angle, and a face angle at the time of striking. The behavior includes an initial speed, a vertical launch angle, and a back spin amount.
