Abstract
Recently, golf has become a very popular sport, and most golfers focus on improving their skills and learning process. However, many researchers have studied and found that the hardness and vibration frequency of golf club, and the weight and angle of club head can result in unstable swing distance and accuracy. The golfers modify their swings attitude to adapt to the equipments, or even change the club set, and sometimes these situations cause sports injuries to golfers. Therefore, this study discusses how to design an optimal club set for individual golfers by customization and decreases the cases of sports injuries. The Taguchi method is applied to analyze and design the optimum club for shaft hardness, club head weight, spine and grip weight. The improved club is tested, and the result shows that the driving distance is increased by more than 10%, so that the maximum efficiency of hitting is increased. This study provides important reference for design of golf clubs.
