Golf Putter with Trajectory Marking Instruments and Guiding Grid
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The traditional 'pendulum swing' in golf putting involves numerous random variables, making it difficult to train consistently and lacks recordable and correctable mechanisms for improving putting techniques, whereas the 'piston motion' reduces variables and facilitates muscle memory development but lacks effective training tools.
Innovation Solution
A golf putter with a specially designed club head for piston-like motion, accompanied by marking instruments for recording trajectories, a guiding grid with adjustable rails and leveling device, and a direction guide to facilitate correct execution and analysis of the stroke.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional pendulum swing is used for putting, then golfers can follow conventional techniques, but the numerous random variables make consistent training difficult and corrections impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates recording devices that capture the trajectory and parameters of each putting stroke, providing feedback to the golfer. This allows for analysis and correction of putting mechanics, enabling consistent training and improvement by identifying and correcting deviations from the desired piston motion pattern.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the traditional pendulum swing mechanics with a piston-like linear motion mechanics. By substituting the conventional arc-based putting motion with a straight-line back-and-forth motion, the system reduces the number of variables and creates a more controllable, trainable, and consistent putting technique.
2Reliability
If piston motion is adopted to reduce variables, then muscle memory can be developed more effectively, but specialized training tools and equipment are required
Solution Approach 1:
The training system is segmented into distinct functional components: guiding rails that define the linear path, marking instruments that record trajectory, leveling devices that ensure proper alignment, and analysis tools that provide feedback. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function effectively while maintaining overall system manageability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary tools such as guiding rails and marking instruments that mediate between the golfer's putting action and the training objective. These intermediaries facilitate the piston motion by providing physical guidance and visual feedback, making the complex training process more accessible and effective.
3Measurement precision
If marking instruments and recording devices are added to track stroke trajectory, then stroke analysis and correction become possible, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple functions into the putter system: the club head incorporates marking instruments that leave visual traces on the ground, the shaft integrates recording capabilities, and the overall system combines guiding, recording, and analysis functions. This integration reduces the need for separate external devices and manages complexity through functional consolidation.
