Golf swing practice apparatus

摘要

A golf swing practice apparatus which includes a rotating drum having an optical sensor mounted inside the drum that is capable of swiveling in a direction perpendicular to the rotational direction of the drum and capable of detecting a change in swivel position or swivel angle; an elongated cord including a proximal end secured to the drum and a distal end secured to a golf ball; a base member having an impact area over which a user may swing a golf club; and a frame structure secured to the base member and to the rotating drum whereby the frame structure holds the rotating drum in an elevated position above the impact area.

主权项

1. A golf swing practice apparatus that provides ball trajectory information comprising:
(a) a rotating drum comprising an optical sensor mounted inside the drum that is capable of swiveling in a direction perpendicular to the rotational direction of the drum and capable of detecting a change in swivel position or swivel angle; (b) an elongated cord comprising a proximal end secured to the drum and a distal end secured to a golf ball; (c) a base member having an impact area over which a user may swing a golf club; (d) a frame structure secured to the base member and to the rotating drum whereby the frame structure holds the rotating drum in an elevated position above the impact area and provides an axis for the rotational direction; (e) a means for measuring rotation speed of the rotating drum; and (f) a console comprising a display screen for displaying swing data and a processor operably connected to the optical sensor and the means for measuring rotation speed to receive swivel and rotation data and for communicating the swing data to the display screen.
