GOLF SWING APPARATUS

摘要

A golf swing apparatus including a rotating drum that houses a swivel and an optical sensor to detecting a change in swivel angle; an elongated cord hanging from the drum and secured to a golf ball; a base member having an impact layer that is switchable between two orientations, the first being planar and the second being raised to stop or slow a rotating golf ball; a frame holding the rotating drum over the impact layer; a means for measuring rotation speed of the rotating drum; and a processor for generating swing data.

1. A golf swing apparatus comprising:
(a) a rotating drum that houses a swivel and a sensor, wherein the swivel rotates in a direction perpendicular to the rotational direction of the drum and the sensor detects a change in swivel angle; (b) an elongated cord comprising a proximal end secured to the swivel and a distal end secured to a golf ball; (c) a base member having an impact layer over which a user may swing a golf club, wherein the impact layer is switchable between two orientations, the first orientation being planar to provide a flat surface for impacting a golf club during a golf swing and the second orientation being raised across a width of the impact layer and perpendicular to the rotational direction of the drum to stop or slow a rotating golf ball after impact; (d) a frame structure holding the rotating drum in an elevated position above the impact layer and providing an axis for the rotational direction; (e) a means for measuring rotation speed of the rotating drum; and (f) a processor operably connected to the sensor and the means for measuring rotation speed for generating swing data.
