Golf Training Aid for Lower Body Rotation Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Most golfers, especially amateurs, struggle with proper rotation of the lower body during the downswing, often sliding their hips instead of rotating them, leading to poor ball striking.
Innovation Solution
A golf training aid attached to the front leg of a golfer, featuring a monitoring arrangement to track the rotational displacement of the back leg relative to the front leg, and an alarm arrangement to alert the golfer when the back leg reaches a predetermined rotational position.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If golfers attempt to rotate their lower body during downswing, then proper swing mechanics can be achieved, but amateurs struggle to maintain correct rotation and tend to slide their hips instead
Solution Approach 1:
The device incorporates a monitoring arrangement with sensors that detect the golfer's lower body rotation in real-time and provide feedback through visual or auditory signals. This allows amateurs to immediately感知 whether they are rotating correctly or sliding, enabling them to correct their technique during practice sessions and achieve consistent proper rotation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the need for complex manual coaching and self-monitoring with an automated electronic monitoring system. Sensors, processors, and output devices work together to automatically detect, analyze, and communicate rotation quality, substituting the mechanical complexity of human judgment with an automated detection system.
2Loss of information
If a monitoring system is added to track rotational displacement, then real-time feedback can be provided, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring system is divided into separate functional modules: sensors for detecting rotation, a processor for analyzing the data, and output devices for providing feedback. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall system design and maintenance while still providing comprehensive monitoring capability.
