Apparatus for providing swing technique feedback

摘要

This disclosure describes an apparatus used to provide feedback of a proper swing technique. According to some embodiments, the disclosure describes an outer shaft having a ball bearing adjustably attached to a magnet recessed within an internal tube. According to some embodiments, the ball bearing may be released from the magnet when the apparatus is properly swung. According to some embodiments, haptic and/or auditory feedback may be provided to a user of the apparatus as the ball bearing contacts a stopper tube in the outer shaft.

主权项

1. An apparatus for providing feedback of a swing technique, the apparatus comprising:
an outer shaft having a ball bearing located within; a first tube disposed within the outer shaft and including a portion that is configured to receive the ball bearing; a magnet disposed in the portion of the first tube; a second tube disposed with the outer shaft at an end opposite the first tube, the second tube configured to stop the ball bearing as the ball bearing travels through the outer shaft and to provide at least one of haptic or auditory feedback; and an adjustment mechanism disposed on the outer shaft, the adjustment mechanism comprises a housing unit attached to the outer shaft and a fastener configured to protrude though the housing unit into an inner portion of the outer shaft at a location where the magnet and the ball bearing interface, and wherein an amount of the fastener protruding into the inner portion alters a magnetic connection of the magnet and the ball bearing.
