An electronic golf swing analyzing system that uses an array of infrared
(IR) and ultrasonic (U/S) sensors, activated by an embedded
micro-controller, to capture swing data to accurately calculate the club
head's velocity, face angle, and swing path at impact. The system also
includes a golf swing analyzing software application that receives the
data from the analyzer to determine the distance and direction that the
ball will travel relative to the target line. During use, the IR sensor
base is placed horizontally and the U/S sensor base is positioned
vertically. The player selects one of three available practice modes,
which determines how the trajectory data for each swing is visually
displayed. The player selects a golf club, enters golf ball information,
and environmental conditions information. Trajectory results for each
swing are graphically displayed relative to the players stated ability
level on the computer monitor.
