Summary:

In this invention, Fujifilm Prescale® or Pressurex® film, of Sensor Products Inc., was used to determine the speed of a golf club head during its swing so that a golf ball suited to the determined velocity of the golf club head can be selected. In this particular invention, Fujifilm Prescale® or Pressurex® film, of Sensor Products Inc., was attached to the face of the golf club head in a manner that the film contacts the golf ball when the golfer swings the club and hits a golf ball, following which the pressure responsive film provides a visual record of a force applied to it.
