ACTIVE GOLF TEE

摘要

The present disclosure provides systems and methods associated with a golf tee configured to impart a spin to a golf ball prior to impact between the golf ball and the golf club face. The golf tee includes a retention mechanism configured to releasably secure a golf ball to a contact surface of the golf tee while a rotation mechanism rotates the golf tee or a spin mechanism spins the golf ball, thereby imparting spin to the golf ball. The golf tee may further include a processing unit configured to control the retention mechanism and rotation mechanism or spin mechanism. The processing unit may communicate with various external or local sensors, for example, a swing sensor, an environmental sensor, or the like, to control the golf tee to spin the golf ball to achieve a particular post impact trajectory.

1. A golf tee comprising:
a contact surface configured to support a golf ball; a retention mechanism configured to releasably secure the golf ball to the contact surface; a support member having a top and a bottom, the top of the support member being coupled with the contact surface; a rotation mechanism, coupled with the bottom of the support member, configured to rotate the support member around an axis running from the top to the bottom; and a processing unit configured to control the release of the golf ball by the retention mechanism and the rotation of the support member by the rotation mechanism to impart a spin to the golf ball prior to impact by a golf club face.
