20100160060 | PORTABLE SWING TRAINER - A portable swing trainer has a wedge body of a triangular shape, and a stick sensor having a vertical adjustment and a horizontal adjustment. The stick sensor has a deployed position and a collapsed position. The stick sensor is mounted behind the wedge body. A restoring mechanism can be for restoring the stick sensor from the collapsed position to the deployed position. The restoring mechanism is mounted behind the wedge body. The stick sensor is pivotally mounted to the restoring mechanism. A catch mechanism is for catching the stick sensor in collapsed position. The catch mechanism is mounted behind the wedge body. A pair of electronic beam sensors can be mounted in a pair of depressions formed on a face of the wedge body. | 06-24-2010 |
20100248853 | Bat lag and bat extension instant feedback training system - A training system is disclosed which indicates to a baseball/softball hitter that he/she does not have the proper bat lag and will indicate to the hitter that the bat was properly extended after hitting the ball. The system may also be used for the training of golfers or other sports enthusiasts. | 09-30-2010 |
20110250981 | SENSING SYSTEM FOR ENTERING ANGLE AND SPACE VELOCITY AND HITTING POINT - A sensing system for providing an entering angle, a space velocity and a hitting point to a golf simulation system is provided, in which a club head sensing part and a horizontal sensing part horizontal with a bottom surface are disposed at a position that the club head swung by a golf practicer is entered, so as to sense shadow information of the club head, thereby obtaining the entering angle, the space velocity and the hitting point of the club head. | 10-13-2011 |
20120064985 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR BIOMECHANIC CHARACTERIZATION - An apparatus for characterizing a golf swing includes a shank, an articulated joint, and a base. The apparatus may also include a motion control device. An implement is responsive to a co-action with another object. The apparatus may bend or deform in a way that provides information as to the dynamics of a co-action between a golf club and a golf ball. | 03-15-2012 |
20130090180 | ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED GOLF SWING ANALYZING/TRAINING MAT SYSTEM WITH BALL STRIKING-RELATED FEEDBACK - A golf practice mat includes an impact sensor disposed in a vicinity bounding the location of where a golf ball would be placed for striking. The golf practice mat may also include, for example, a “crosshair” target imprint that is disposed on a golf club impact sensor portion of the practice surface and indicates the point/line of contact that the club face should hit the ground after the ball has been struck with the club head in a descending blow. A microcontroller receives and analyzes the output of the impact sensor and generates a display/output message that is coupled to a display that is, for example, embodied on the golf practice mat to provide user shot-related feedback. The display may indicate, for example, the user's golf club, the estimated distance the ball will travel depending upon the impact data analyzed, the club chosen by the user, input backswing data and/or a three-dimensional simulation of the resulting golf stroke. | 04-11-2013 |
20130130819 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SHOWING GOLFERS HOW TO AIM PROPERLY BEFORE GOLF BALLS ARE STRICKEN - Systems and methods are provided for showing golfers how to aim properly before golf balls are stricken. In one embodiment, a system is provided. The system includes a stand, which forms a lower portion for a golf tee, wherein the stand is configured to rotate freely. Further, the system includes an upper housing, which forms a higher portion for the golf tee. Moreover, an object is included that is physically attached to the upper housing to serve as a pointer for a golfer to hit a golf ball in a direction pointed by the pointer, wherein the direction pointed by the pointer can be changed by rotating the stand. | 05-23-2013 |
20140106893 | ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED GOLF SWING ANALYSIS AND PRACTICE SYSTEM WITH TYPE OF GOLF SHOT PROJECTION - A golf practice mat includes an impact sensor disposed in a vicinity bounding the location of where a golf ball would be placed for striking. The golf practice mat may also include, for example, a “crosshair” target imprint that is disposed on a golf club impact sensor portion of the practice surface and indicates the point/line of contact that the club face should hit the ground after the ball has been struck with the club head in a descending blow. A microcontroller receives and analyzes the output of the impact sensor and generates a display/output message that is coupled to a display that is, for example, embodied on the golf practice mat to provide user shot-related feedback. The display may indicate, for example, the user's golf club, the estimated distance the ball will travel depending upon the impact data analyzed, the club chosen by the user, input backswing data and/or a three-dimensional simulation of the resulting golf stroke. | 04-17-2014 |
20150045131 | Remote Controlled Golf Ball Maker Putting-Alignment Device - A putting alignment device includes a base, a cap mounted to the base for rotation with respect to the base, and alignment indicia on the cap which indicates a target line for putting a golf ball. A remote control unit is coupled in communication to the base to issue instructions to the base. The device includes drive means in the base which rotate the cap with respect to the base in response to a signal communicated from the remote control unit, so as to move the alignment indicia according to instructions carried in the signal from the remote control unit. | 02-12-2015 |
