Auxiliary Golf Putter Guide Light Apparatus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Golfers face difficulties in accurately judging the direction and distance to the hole cup during putting, especially for beginners, due to the complexity of visualizing the perpendicular impact of the club head on the ball and the lack of effective guidance tools.
Innovation Solution
An auxiliary apparatus for a golf putter featuring a detachable guide light emitting device that provides intuitive distance and direction guidance through various light modes, adjustable line length, and image capture for slow-motion analysis, integrated with the putter shaft, allowing for precise alignment and posture correction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a golfer relies on visual confirmation and experience to judge direction and distance to the hole cup, then the putting process remains simple and equipment-free, but the accuracy of direction and distance judgment deteriorates, especially for beginners
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a guide light as an intermediary device that projects a visible reference line on the green surface, serving as a mediator between the golfer's visual system and the putting target. This external reference system eliminates the need for complex mental calculation or experience-based judgment, directly improving measurement precision without requiring the golfer to master complex techniques
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/cognitive system of visual estimation and experience-based judgment with an optical system (guide light projection). Instead of relying on the golfer's brain to calculate direction and distance, the system uses light projection to provide direct visual feedback, substituting complex cognitive processing with simple optical guidance
2Manufacturing precision
If the golfer tries to visually confirm perpendicular impact of the club head on the ball, then the putting technique can be optimized, but the complexity of visual confirmation and coordination increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes light emission (optical change) to create a visible reference that changes the visual field during putting. The guide light projects a illuminated line that provides a dynamic visual reference, making it easier for the golfer to align the club head perpendicular to the putting line without requiring complex visual processing or coordination
3Measurement precision
If beginners attempt to judge direction and distance without assistance, then they can practice independently, but their putting accuracy remains poor due to difficulty in basic judgment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent provides preliminary visual guidance (guide light projection) before the golfer attempts the putt, establishing a reference framework in advance. This preliminary action of projecting the guide line allows beginners to practice with immediate visual feedback, accelerating skill development while maintaining the ability to practice independently
