Background Technology

[0002] Golf is a sport with many variables that can lead to diverse outcomes depending on a golfer's posture, hitting style, prudence, and psychological factors. In particular, psychological elements are such a crucial variable that golf is often referred to as a "mind game," and because individual personality is reflected in the game, it poses a problem in that it is difficult to develop an accurate golf sense.

[0003] In addition, if the accurate and correct golf swing posture is not internalized, it is instantly forgotten and must be reminded of every time a shot is made. Furthermore, in golf, which is played under such diverse and subtle variables, improving one's skills involves a great deal of time, effort, and financial investment.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a golf practice device that can improve the psychological and behavioral issues of golfers, enable them to acquire a feel for golf in a relatively short period of time, correct their swing posture while understanding the psychological elements of hitting behavior and correcting their hitting stance, and provide appropriate exercise methods to help golfers master the correct swing posture.

Effects of the invention

[0019] As described above, according to the present invention, by combining posture data using an IMU sensor and body composition data using a body composition analyzer, it is possible to analyze the optimal swing motion according to the user's physical characteristics and provide feedback.

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0021] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this process, the thickness of lines or the size of components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience of explanation.

[0022] Furthermore, the terms described below are defined in consideration of their functions within the present invention, and these may vary depending on the intent or practice of the user or operator. Therefore, the definitions of these terms should be based on the content throughout this specification.

[0023] In addition, the following embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention but are merely exemplary details of the components presented in the claims of the present invention, and embodiments including components that are included in the technical concept throughout the specification of the present invention and are substitutable as equivalents for the components of the claims may be included in the scope of the present invention.

[0024] Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of a practice golf club according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a schematic illustration of a fixing part according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a schematic illustration of a weight according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 4 is a schematic illustration of a user performing body composition analysis according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0025] As illustrated in FIG. 1 below, the golf practice golf club according to the present invention comprises a head (100), a stick (90), and a handle (80). At this time, the golf club is configured to include a body composition analyzer (150) provided in the head to measure the human body composition of the golf club user, so that the golf club user measures body composition with the body composition analyzer placed in the head and determines the exercise form of the golf club using the measured component value.

[0026] In addition, the head of the golf club is equipped with an IMU sensor (190) to measure the rotational speed of the head and software to determine whether the rotational speed is suitable for the body composition measurement value.

[0027] Therefore, we intend to provide a golf practice club equipped with a body composition analyzer that can provide feedback to the user by analyzing the optimal swing motion according to the user's physical characteristics through the combination of posture data using the above-mentioned IMU sensor and body composition data using the body composition analyzer.

[0028] In other words, by combining posture data utilizing IMU sensors with body composition (BIA analysis) data, it is possible to analyze the optimal swing based on the golfer's characteristics and provide the user with a more precise, customized golf coaching system.

[0029] As an example of this, by utilizing IMU data, it is possible to predict club head speed by measuring angular velocity and acceleration, and to predict the golfer's posture during the backswing size, takeaway, and backswing top.

[0030] In addition, by utilizing body composition data, it is possible to compare muscle mass and rotational speed to see if insufficient muscle strength leads to reduced swing efficiency, and to compare with the average head speed of golfers with similar body composition to practice the proper swing, thereby expecting the effect of preventing injuries.

[0031] Therefore, by utilizing the data mentioned above to apply feedback to the user, strength training exercises can be recommended in cases where muscle mass is low and head speed is slow, while posture or flexibility exercises can be recommended in cases where there is excessive muscle and head speed is insufficient.

[0032] In other words, by using this method to analyze swing and reflect body composition to recognize the limits or average of head speed suitable for the current body composition, it is possible to provide customized training programs tailored to age, gender, and body composition to the user (golfer), such as preventing injuries caused by excessive body use aimed at generating excessive head speed.

[0033] In addition, by establishing a feedback system utilizing AI algorithms based on the above analysis, customized coaching can be provided to golfers.

[0034] Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the surface of the head of the golf club is provided with four electrodes, wherein two of the four electrodes are placed on a first surface and the remaining two electrodes are placed on a second surface (120) located opposite to the first surface (110).
