International ClassA63B 069/36Foreign Application Priority Data1998-08-27 CAAbstractA golf swing training apparatus is used to produce a data signal representative of the golfer's swing tempo. The apparatus includes a golf swing guide having a number of individual induction type sensors located at spaced locations therein. Each sensor sequentially provides a computer microprocessor with sensor readings as the golf club or club shaft passes thereby. The processor thereafter converts the sensor readings into an output representative of the golf swing tempo. To analyze a particular golfer's swing, the golfer stands in the training apparatus and swings his golf club. On each of the swing backstroke, downstroke and follow-through the club slides along the swing guide sequentially activating each of the sensors. The microprocessor instantaneously converts the timing between sequential sensor readings received into a graphically displayed output providing the golfer with substantially immediate feedback of the tempo of his golf swing.Field of SearchWith electrical sensor or electrical indicatorSensor positioned apart from implement to interact with a separate cooperating sensor means attachable to or integral with implement Sensor integral with projectile addressing surface Head or shaft continuously engaged during swing Closed loop Method | |
