Embodiment Construction

[0028] Throughout the specification and claims, an apparatus and method are described for a player hitting a ball in the direction of a target that generally corresponds to a hole in the green. The direction towards the target is called the target direction, and the player's hand or foot closest to the target is called the target side hand or foot. Right-handed players usually hit the ball from right to left. The backswing is the event in time when the player removes the club from the address position when starting the backswing. Shot refers to the time event when the clubhead strikes the ball, and delivery refers to the portion of the swing that occurs after impact. Viewed from the front of the player, the angle between the shaft and the vertical axis can be referenced to facilitate tracking the difference between the backswing and the downswing. BS, DS and FT are called backswing, downswing and delivery, respectively. The upswing occurs at about BS0°, reaches BS90° when th...

Abstract

This invention is an apparatus and method for measuring or analysing a golf swing. Measurement or analysis is made relative to energy generation and transfer through a player's body and club. The measurement or analysis data is principally obtained from the player's ground-reaction forces. Processed signals are analysed with an artificial intelligence system. Ground-reaction forces relate to reaction forces which occur between a standing surface and the player's feet. The apparatus and method measures or analyses a golf swing in an automatic manner or in an automatic and interactive manner.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for measuring or analyzing a golf swing. Background technique [0002] US Patent No. 5,823,878 discloses a method and apparatus for capturing a golf swing with two cameras. The device produces various pictures that are used by a technician or expert to analyze a golf swing. Analysis is not automatic and relies on the knowledge and skills of a technician or specialist. The equipment and its operation are relatively expensive and complex. [0003] International Publication No. WO 2004 / 049944 A1 discloses a method and device for capturing golf swing motions using a set of motion sensors connected to players. The device produces various pictures that are used by a technician or expert to analyze a golf swing. Similar to the aforementioned US Patent No. 5,823,878, the analysis is not automatic and relies on the knowledge and skill of a technician or expert. The equipment and its operation are als...
