Nike "smart clubs"??

[lilbilly]

Just came across this on Twitter. Interesting -

@darrenrovell: Hmm RT @matthewkish Nike has patented "smart" golf clubs that read everything from weather to spin on the ball http://twitter.com/matthewkish/status/484112454654255104/photo/1

Patents are funny.

Yeah, certainly no guarantee it ever sees the light of a retail store, but interesting none the less.

I need GPS in my golf balls. I know where I put my clubs.

Think about it...

Pull a 7i, and the club vibrates and says "no, pull the 6i..."

Hadn't thought of that. But how many times do you ask "Which tree did it go behind?"

Looks more like the "club" portion is synonymous with "shop" or "fitting centre." Which I think is cool.

I would think a club that reads the weather, would be considered non-conforming as the rules stand today. That's not to say they couldn't change it at some point in the future obviously.

Companies will put pattens on ideas without intention of bring it to market

Nike makes great clubs but they're just weird.
