| 20090120197 | Golf club head comprising a piezoelectric sensor - An apparatus and method for determining the kinematic characteristics of a golf club head are disclosed. The apparatus includes at least one piezoelectric component selectively positioned within or upon a club head. The piezoelectric component is preferably positioned to the rear of the center of gravity, and near the midpoint of the face of the club head. During a golf club swing, the piezoelectric component determines the acceleration and deceleration of the golf club head. When the club head impacts an object such as a golf ball, the piezoelectric component is also operable to determine the velocity of the club head. It may also be desirable for the piezoelectric component to determine the magnitude of vibration during impact. In this manner, the piezoelectric component may function determine the efficiency of a golf club swing. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090211365 | Load sensor having load detection element and support element and method for manufacturing the same - A method for manufacturing a load sensor including a load detection element and a support element is provided. The support element includes a base and a spring.
