Golf club fitting hardware/software

No suitable relationship(s) with a contractor(s) has been secured yet to help stop the golf industry (and in particular the laughable clubfitting trade) from continuing its extremely embarrassing decline and to help reverse the direction of this bungling trade. Briefly, the device(s) likely comprises 3-D wireless motion detection that likely attaches to a golf club and accurately gathers 3-D golf club motion and position data with respect to time during any given golfer's pre-swing movement (before a golf swing even begins). Further required is appropriate software programming to decipher a critical pre-swing rotation point location (which most golfers will have but at different locations) along the length of the golf club. The determined rotation point location is then applied (in the form of an adjustable fulcrum location) on a discrete scale (also needed), which cumulatively results in a new golf club balancing specification named "waggle weight." For those familiar with golf, this is a badly needed advancement of the already-long-proven golf club specification named swingweight. The appropriate patent (US # 8,074,495) is already in place, and for additional informational purposes that might be helpful, a very crude but copyright-registered 25-minute video can be seen at [login to view URL] Time is of the essence, with a previous contractor failing miserably for two years for a contracted six-week time frame to develop a functional unit and then sadly suffering a stroke literally days before it was finally to be completed. He never really provided any usable written documentation for anyone else to work from regarding any part of the project, there is no indication that he will ever be capable of resuming work on the project, and the patent protection period has now dwindled drastically. Furthermore, virtually my entire prototype budget was given to him and is now presumed to be totally lost (as no one associated with this contractor has had the simple courtesy to provide business updates at reasonable intervals regarding his condition), so the budget for an initial prototype or model (until it can first be proven that the system works satisfactorily) is quite limited. But once proven, appropriate credit will be given and publicized where due and the funds necessary will be spent to further develop and commercialize the system with a good and strategic partnership(s) that can hopefully be established from this point forward.

I am willing to discuss even further about the requirements of your project. I am more than interested in the technology myself as I am currently learning golf. Please message me by hitting the button next to my name to discuss how we can save your project and create a prototype.

Hello, I am very interested to work with You on the described project. Since 2012 i am working with a group of researchers performing tasks which are similar to the ones required in this project. There i am tracking motion of biological compartiments in micrographs, and perform statistical analysis on the data gathered this way. Therefore the whole process of writing a robust algorithm for data gathering from some real object, filtering for meaningful events, and statistical representation is familiar to me. As for the position estimation one can show that even the accelerations of both club ends are sufficient to estimate the rotation point, which may create a more lightweight measurement setup. As for the language i mostly use c++, but i am familiar with most common languages and willing to switch to any of Your liking. Please feel free to contact me for further discussion. I am looking forward for Your reply. Best Regards, Lutz Kuenneke

Hi there, My name is Keith and I am an engineer and a designer here on the site and have professional experience in many different areas of electrical and mechanical engineering. I am from the US and graduated as a BS in mechanical engineering. Your project looks great and I do think I'd be well suited for getting it done correctly. Microcontrolled devices and embedded systems are what I specialize in here on Freelancer but I've worked on countless electrical and mechanical engineering projects ranging from pneumatic automation equipment, aerial photography and drones, to elaborate wireless LED displays. I won't deliver anything to you that's not done professionally or low quality! Please see my profile, reviews, and portfolio projects for an idea of my capabilities; I'd also be glad to talk specifics before you choose a bidder. Thank you for considering! - Keith B.
