ABSTRACT:
A head balance apparatus is provided determining the face and the loft angles of the club face when the club is balanced in its impact orientation. It includes a base, a vertical post on the base, and a balance member movable on the base and located at a point spaced from the post. The balance member has a balance element extending upwardly therefrom, and the post, base and balance member are dimensioned to support a club between the balance member and post. The grip end of the club is seated against the post, its head is seated on the balance element and its shaft extends upwardly at an angle to the post in substantially the orientation of the club as at the time of impact with the ball. The balance member is positioned so that the bottom surface of the head extends in a plane substantially perpendicular to the post.
