LENGTH MEASUREMENT PROTOCOL | 2015
EQUIPMENT
!   MODIFIED GREEN GAUGE WITH RULER ATTACHMENT
PROCESS
!   ASSEMBLED CLUB IS SET AND LOCKED INTO THE MODIFIED GREEN GAUGE
!   THE SOLE OF THE CLUB HEAD IS TOUCHING THE GROUND PLANE
!   LIE ANGLE AND FACE ANGLE ARE SET TO NOMINAL SPEC (IRONS, WEDGES AND PUTTERS ARE SET TO 0°
FACE ANGLE)
CLUB LENGTH MEASUREMENT
!   ALONG THE SHAFT CENTERLINE
!   FROM THE POINT WHERE THE SHAFT AXIS INTERSECTS THE GROUND PLANE
!   TO THE GRIP SHOULDER (END OF THE EFFECTIVE GRIP SURFACE)
FOOTNOTES
!   THIS METHOD MAY RESULT IN NIKE GOLF STATING LENGTHS THAT ARE 1/8” TO 3/16” LONGER THAN THE
AVERAGE INDUSTRY SPECS. THIS IS DUE TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NON-STANDARDIZED, OFFSET
CLUB LENGTH RULERS COMMONLY USED IN THE INDUSTRY AND OUR MORE ACCURATE GREEN GAUGE
METHOD
!   WE BELIEVE THAT THE ACCURACY IN MEASUREMENT REALIZED FROM THIS METHOD IS THE TRUEST
STATEMENT OF THE PLAYING LENGTH OF AN ASSEMBLED GOLF CLUB
