Abstract
A golf swing action correcting unit, which gives information about a plurality of stages corresponding to a plurality of golf swing actions, comprises: a control unit for generating signals corresponding to the plurality of stages; and an information-giving unit for generating information by means of signals corresponding to one or more of the plurality of stages in accordance with the signals from the control unit.
Description
- The present disclosure relates to a golf swing action correcting unit. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a golf swing action correcting unit generating signals set for training golf, and a golf swing action correcting device including thereof.
- Generally, golf is a game in which golf clubs are used to hit a golf ball into a number of holes, the object of which is to get the golf ball into each hole in as few strokes as possible.
- In golf, golf swing pose is important as much as golf equipments such as clubs.
- Typically, golf swing includes seven phases, i.e., address, back swing, back swing top, down swing, impact, follow through and finish. The details on the phases will be described below.
- The address is a basic stationary phase for a golf swing action, in which a golfer grips a shaft of a golf club, and makes a head contact with or close to a golf ball.
- The back swing is a first phase of the swing action, in which the golfer moves the golf club from the address phase to his/her waist, so that the shaft of the golf club is parallel to the ground.
- The back swing top is a phase of holding the head of the golf club at the top.
- The down swing is a phase in which the head of the golf club moves downwards from the top to the point right before hitting the golf ball.
- The impact is a phase in which the head of the golf club hits the golf ball.
- The follow through is a phase in which the head of the golf club moves to backside of the golfer by centrifugal force after the impact.
- The finish is a phase after the golf swing.
- It is known that, in the golf swing described above, the tempo and rhythm of the swing, as well as the pose of each stage, are important. It is because the swing tempo is the most important factor in the basic pose of the swing and the impact, and has a significant effect on the shot direction.
- Also, avoiding a head-up is important as much as keeping the tempo or rhythm of the swing steady to keep an exact swing orbit. The head-up is a golfer's action of heading up before hitting the golf ball. The head-up makes an exact hitting difficult because the swing orbit and the face of the club are dislocated.
- It is very difficult for most beginner golfers to keep the tempo and rhythm of the golf swing steady or to avoid the head-up. The problems of too rapid swing, too late swing and/or unstable swing orbit make the exact hitting between the face of the head and the golf ball difficult, and reduce the accuracy of distance and direction. In this regard, there is a need for assistive devices for keeping the tempo or rhythm of the golf swing steady.
- Recently, tempo controllers for golf swing such as a tempo controller which aids actions for golf swing to be made in a steady tempo disclosed in Korean Utility Model Application No. 20-2004-0002228, or devices for avoiding a head-up such as an indicator for golf swing practicing disclosed in Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2001-0077590 have been developed.
- However, the conventional tempo controller for golf swing disclosed in Korean Utility Model Application No. 20-2004-0002228 only suggests a tempo control function via voice playback, just capable of controlling pitches, thus it can disturb other golfers in public practice ranges, or the sounds can be lost in the ambient noise.
- Further, according to the indicator for golf swing practicing disclosed in Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2001-0077590, a light indication point generated by a luminous device such as a laser lamp attached to a cap member should be an extension of a golf ball to be hit, thus making pose of a golfer unnatural, or making the golfer change repeatedly the location of the cap member or the luminous device with the cap member being put on the head of the golfer.
- In view of the foregoing, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a golf swing action correcting unit for assisting a golfer in making a perfect golf swing by setting various information providing function in accordance with the status of the golfer and the surrounding environment, and a golf swing action correcting device including thereof.
- Further, another object of the present disclosure is to provide a golf swing action correcting unit for avoiding a head-up naturally and assisting a golfer in playing golf via an exact swing, and a golf swing action correcting device including thereof.
- In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a golf swing action correcting unit, which gives information about multiple phases corresponding to multiple golf swing actions, including a control unit configured to generate signals corresponding to the multiple phases and an information-giving unit configured to generate information by signals corresponding to one or more phases of the multiple phases in accordance with the signals generated by the control unit.
- The information generated by the information-giving unit may be a vibration.
- A tempo control unit configured to set the signals to adjust a time interval between two adjacent phases among the multiple phases may be further included.
- A coupling unit located on a surface opposite to the control unit of the device, and capable of being fixed to a part of a body of a golfer may be further included.
- Further, in accordance with a second aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a golf swing action correcting device including a first golf swing action correcting unit including a control unit configured to generate signals corresponding to multiple phases and an information-giving unit configured to generate information by signals corresponding to one or more phases of the multiple phases in accordance with the signals generated by the control unit, and a second golf swing action correcting unit including a sensing unit configured to detect separation of a golf ball from a placing unit on which the golf ball placed and a notification unit configured to selectively generate a first notification among multiple notifications during a first time duration upon detecting the separation of the golf ball from the placing unit, and after a predetermined time duration, generate a new second notification identical to the first notification during a second time duration.
- The multiple notifications may be classified by a light having multiple colors, and color of the first notification may be identical to color of the second notification.
- According to the present disclosure, the user can practice an optimal golf swing for him/her depending on his/her status or the surrounding environment, and multiple golfers can practice together.
- Further, it is possible to avoid a head-up and learn golf swing actions by utilizing technologies such as sensing.

For example,notification unit 70 may generate a selected notification among multiple notifications for a first time duration of 0.1 sec to 0.3 sec during which a golf ball is separated from placingunit 50 by an impact phase of a golf swing action. Then,notification unit 70 may stop the selected notification for a predetermined time duration of 0.3 sec to 3 sec during which follow through and finish phases are made. Then,notification unit 70 may re-generate the notification selected in the first time duration for a second time duration of 1 sec to 10 sec during which the finish phase goes back to an address phase. By the notification ofnotification unit 70, a golfer may avoid a head-up to recognize the selected notification duringnotification unit 70 generates the selected notification at the impact phase of the golf swing action. Further, when returning from the finish stage to the address stage, the golfer may check up whether he/she made head-up at the impact phase by checking whether the recognized notification was the selected notification generated bynotification unit 70. That is, the head-up may be avoided by checking the selected notification generated bynotification unit 70. -
Notification unit 70 may be integrated withsensing unit 60 into one unit and located in the unit, or be configured as a separate unit.Notification unit 70 may be wired or wirelessly connected to sensingunit 60 to receive a signal for detecting the separation of the golf ball generated by sensingunit 60.Notification unit 70 may include alight emitting unit 71 for generating light having colors of red, blue, yellow, green, etc. as predetermined multiple notifications.Light emitting unit 71 may emit light of any one of the multiple colors as the selected notification for the first time duration and the second time duration. -
