[0001] Golf Swing Analyzer Automatically Recognizes Golf Club Types [

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf swing analyzer, and more particularly, to a golf swing analyzer, which not only verifies various swing information such as distance in an exercise swing using a club, And a distance according to the swing of the golf club of the golf club of the golf club. In addition, even if the user does not input a separate setting according to the type of the golf club, And more particularly, to a golf swing analyzer that automatically recognizes a golf club type so as to accurately identify various swing information.

With the popularization of golf, the golf-related industries have been rapidly growing, and various golf swing training machines have been released accordingly.

However, the conventional golf swing exercisers have been developed as independent swing tools in the form of golf clubs in most cases, rather than assisting golfers to practice using their own golf clubs.

The golf swing exerciser according to the related art has a limitation in that it can not sufficiently expect the effect of the exercise due to the difference in grip, weight and the like compared with the golf club possessed by the golfer.

In addition, golf swing practice is most effective in practicing in the field through his club, but there are many golfers looking for a screen golf driving range due to distance, cost, and other problems.

However, there is an advantage in that a screen golf driving range has an advantage of being able to practice with a golf club of the user, but it is required to have expensive sensor equipment for measuring the swing of a golfer and displaying the swing on a large screen.

In addition, in order to grasp accurate swing information such as a distance according to a golf club type even when practicing at a screen golf driving range, it is necessary to individually change the setting in the computing equipment installed in the screen golf driving range to the information of the corresponding golf club There is an inconvenience.
