Description
- This Continuation Application claims priority to pending Non-Provisional U.S. application Ser. No. 12/941,306, filed on Nov. 8, 2010, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and claims priority thereto.
- This application relates generally to a system, device, and method for improving sports swing accuracy, and more specifically to a substantially spherical object that may be struck by a striking object swung by a user, which may leave a mark on a striking surface of the striking object to provide a visual feedback of accuracy of the swing.
- When practicing a sport wherein an object is struck by a striking implement, such as, for example: striking a golf ball with a golf club; hitting a baseball with a baseball bat; hitting a hockey puck with a hockey stick; hitting a tennis ball with a tennis racket; hitting a cricket ball with a cricket bat; hitting a polo ball with a polo mallet, and the like, hitting accuracy can have a direct effect on far and/or accurately the struck object will travel. Many, or all, sports striking implements have a so called sweet spot which is the ideal location to hit the struck object. Sweet spot sizes may vary depending on the design of the striking object, but as an example, a sweet spot on some golf clubs may be as small as a 2.5 cm across. Hits outside of this area may be less efficient. The golf ball may travel less far with a given stoke speed when the golf ball is struck by portions of the club strike face outside the sweet spot verses when stuck within the sweet spot. In addition, where on the striking surface the object is struck may affect the direction the object travels.
- Current hand-eye training devices focus primarily on targeting actual sized balls. One targeting system provides a golf club face contact tape to allow only feedback on regular sized golf balls.
- Thus what is needed is a device, system, or method to help a player more consistently hit a sport projectile inside the sweet spot of the striking surface of the striking implement.
- Further, what is also needed are multiple inexpensive benign target objects that may be stuck to leave an indication of the striking accuracy. What is further needed is a target object which may be more difficult to hit than the intended sport projectile in order to encourage a more focused, and concentrated swing by the player. What is further need is a target object which may leave a mark on the striking implement that leave a precise indicator, for example a substantially small mark
- Various embodiments may provide a system, device and method that may be used as a hand-eye coordination training device. Embodiments may be teed up and struck with a golf club, and may leave a residue where club face meets the chalk. Embodiments may improve hand-eye coordination in athletes by training the eye to deliver the club to a smaller target point with instant feedback on location of strike. Training with embodiments disclosed herein may make hitting an actual object ball easier because hand-eye coordination is focused on a smaller target point.
- One embodiment provides a chalk object that may be about a tenth the size of a regulation golf ball and may therefore provide a smaller target area. In some cases the chalk objects may be between ⅕th and ⅓th the diameter of a golf ball. In some cases the chalk objects may be approximately ¼th the diameter of a golf ball. Other sizes may be used.
- In some cases 1 cm diameter spheres of chalk may be packaged by the dozen which may provide numerous inexpensive practice opportunities. In some cases larger pieces of chalk may be rounded down to leave an approximately 1 cm diameter “chalk ball”.
- Embodiments may provide a golf training device/ aid, for golfers of all ability levels which may improve their hand-eye coordination and their ball striking on the range or at home. The benign chalklike, or chalk material may simply be swept up, washed away, or mixed with the surrounding dirt in some cases.
- A user may place an individual piece of impact chalk on a stable hitting surface (like a tee if on the range) and take a normal swing trying to mark the middle of the club face with the chalk residue that results from hitting the impact chalk at even low club-head speeds. In some cases a user may repeat, for example, 20-50 times per session trying to consistently place chalk mark in same middle location.
- Embodiments may be used for many sports, such as, baseball, hockey, tennis, polo, cricket, or any other sport where an object ball is struck with a club, and hand eye coordination may benefit from training with a smaller targeted hitting area.
