Benefits of technology

The present invention is a golf training device that helps golfers align their body with the ball and hole for a consistent stroke. The device includes a base unit and a sensory unit that work together to provide feedback to the golfer on their alignment and angle in relation to the reference location. The device uses a display assembly and indicators to help the golfer improve their accuracy and distance control. The invention aims to address the shortcomings of existing training devices that focus on the swing of the golfer but fail to address the stance of the golfer in relation to the ball and hole. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a more effective training device that helps golfers align their body with the ball and hole for a consistent stroke.

Problems solved by technology

For example, some devices attach restrictive apparatuses for locating the arms of a golfer during the swing motion.
Each of these type of devices generally work to address the quality of swing or range of motion of a golfer but fail to address the stance of the golfer in relation to the ball and the hole.

Abstract

The present application includes a training device configured to provide sensory feedback regarding the alignment and angle of a user with respect to a reference location. The training device includes a base unit and a sensory unit. The base unit is placed on the ground. A user is coupled to a sensory in communication with the base unit. The training device calculates the alignment and angle of the user with respect to the base unit and provides sensory feedback to the user to allow for correction.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present application relates in general to golf training devices, in particular, to the determining the proper alignment and angle of a user in relation to a reference location.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]A plurality of devices abound for teaching correct golf techniques. A skill to develop in golf is the ability to consistently strike a ball and be able to control accuracy and distance. Typically, devices focus on the swing of a player. For example, some devices attach restrictive apparatuses for locating the arms of a golfer during the swing motion. Additionally, others correct the posture of the golfer by teaching proper rotation and movement. In fact, the swinging motion of a golfer can be recorded using selectively located sensors across the body. Each of these type of devices generally work to address the quality of swing or range of motion of a golfer but fail to address the stance of the golfer in relation to the...
