Swing training device

摘要

A swing training system which includes a light-reactive surface, and a training device having a light source capable of striking the light-reactive surface and creating a temporary visual representation of the path of the light over the surface. The device can include multiple light sources, which according to the arrangement of the illuminated paths on the surface indicate if the proper alignment was achieved during a swing. In accordance with at least one embodiment, an individual can use the swing training system to perform a stroke to simulate striking a golf ball on the surface. The movement path of the device over the pad is visually illustrated by the reaction of the light source with the light-reactive material such that the individual can observe the actual stroke direction and alignment indicated by the light source path. The visual representation of the actual path fades in a short amount of time such that the individual can perform subsequent strokes in order to improve the correspondence between the actual stroke and the optimal stroke.

主权项

1. A swing training system comprising:
a surface formed of a photoreactive indicating material; and a swing training device comprising an indicator operatively connected to a handle, the indicator adapted for movement over the surface, the indicator comprising a first light source and a second light source directed on a parallel path with the shaft and a third light source centered between the first light source and the second light source, wherein the first and second light source are capable of interacting with the photoreactive surface to form a visual representation of the path of the swing training device and the third light source is configured for alignment of the device without activating the indicating material.
