ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an apparatus and method for measuring loft and lie angles of a golf club. The apparatus includes a clamping assembly configured to secure the head of a golf club in a stationary position and a shaft sensor system having two cameras spaced apart from the clamping assembly to provide a stereoscopic view of a shaft of the club. The orientation of each of the two cameras is known relative to the face of the club head. A computing device is programmed to use information received from the two cameras to calculate loft and lie angles of the golf club.
