A63B069/36
US Classification:
473221000, 473233000, 473131000, 473151000
Abstract:
Provided is a sport learning system directed to improving an individual's swing by monitoring a club, bat or racket during a swing. During the course of a swing, the system alerts the individual when the club position varies outside of a predetermined range. The system includes a device inserted into the distal end of a shaft of the club. A second device is attached to a personal computer to provide wireless data transmission with the device mounted in the club. A personal computer application enables swing data analysis and display. The inserted device employs a microprocessor, accelerometers, gyroscopes, memory and a system of buffering and filtering to provide real-time feedback during the swing. It is an additional feature of the inserted device to capture and store data required to reconstruct, display, and analyze swings and to share the data with other applications to facilitate remote instruction.

International Classification:
A63B 69/36
US Classification:
473219000, 473257000
Abstract:
A method and system define a reference swing for a sports training system, steps of and structures for forming a humanoid for using a plurality of formulae for defining the movements of a sports implement throughout a swinging motion, while using said plurality of formulae for defining the movements of the golf club throughout a plurality of known positions during the swinging motion. The method and system link said humanoid to said plurality of formulae using a plurality of planes perpendicular to the target line, said target line defined as a line passing through the golf ball to the target. A lower plane relates to the shaft of the sports implement; with a first point and a second point of said lower plane associated at the hosel of the sports implement, and an entry point of the shaft into the head on the sports implement and the swinger's hands. A middle plane relates to the plane that passes through two points, the center of the sports implement sweet spot and the right elbow of the swinger. A third plane relates to the plane that passed through the toe of the sports implement and the swinger's shoulder. The reference starting said reference swing starts with the swinger at address and the sports implement shaft on the lower plane. The disclosed subject matter also provides for associating the reference motion with a swinger in real time.
