Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a swing analyzing device for analyzing a weight shift (load shift) in directions back-and-forth, and left-and-right of a body during a swing practiced in various sporting events, and a flight direction, distance, and trajectory of a ball being hit by the swing, and to correct an inappropriate swing into an appropriate swing.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Various analysis/diagnosis devices have been devised in the past for analysis of swings practiced in various sporting events such as a golf swing in golf. For these analysis devices, for instance, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (JP-A) No. 6-142260 and 4-174683 disclose devices which detect center of loads respectively for the left and right feet and display curves indicating loci of weight shifts representing the center of loads.
- However, with these devices, there was a problem of not being able to determine defects or peculiarity of the swings merely by observing the curves demonstrating the loci of weight shifts representing the center of loads for each foot. In order to correct the swing, there is a need to observe the state of body weight distributions in areas back-and-forth, and right-and-left for both feet, specifically the body weight distributions in at least three areas representing in the vicinity of big toes, little toes, and heels are of importance. A device which enables analysis of the body weight distributions in these three areas, in addition to displaying the result of analysis for easy observation, has not been provided at present.
- An object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems, and to provide a swing analysing device for analysing swings practiced in various sporting events, such as golf swing in golf, which allows simple analysis as to whether the swings are appropriate or inappropriate, and which also enables correction of inappropriate swings by measuring body weight distributions in at least three areas for each foot during the swing, and by analysing the result of weight measurement readings with a flight direction, distance, and trajectory of a ball being hit by the swing.
- The swing analyzing device of the present invention comprises a left foot weight measuring means for continuously measuring body weight applied on at least three areas including in the vicinity of a big toe, a little toe, and a heel of a left foot during a series of swing motions from the beginning of the swing until the end of the swing, a right foot weight measuring means for coutinuously measuring body weight applied on at least three areas including in the vicinity of a big toe, a little toe, and a heel of a right foot during a series of swing motions from the beginning of the swing to the end of the swing, a visual recording means for visually recording a swing, a synchronizing means for synchronously driving the left foot weight measuring means, the right foot weight measuring means, and the visual recording means, a recording means for recording body weight applied on the left foot measured by the left foot weight measuring means, body weight applied on the right foot measured by the right foot measuring means, and the visual image of the swing recorded by the visual recording means, a display means for displaying the body weight applied on the left foot at prescribed point A in the swing recorded by the recording means for the left foot in at least three areas in the vicinity of the big toe, the little toe, and the heel of the left foot, along with a template representing the left foot, and the visual image of the swing recorded by the visual recording means, the body weight applied on the right foot at prescribed point A in the swing recorded by the recording means for the right foot in at least three areas in the vicinity the big toe, the little toe, and the heel of the right foot, along with a template representing the right foot, and the visual image of the swing recorded by the visual recording means.
- In the swing analyzing device of the present invention, the left foot weight measuring means measures body weight applied on the left foot in at least three areas in the left foot including in the vicinity of the big toe, the little toe, and the heel during a series of swing motions from the beginning of the swing until the end of the swing. Moreover, the right foot weight measuring means continuously measures the body weight applied on the right foot in at least three areas in the vicinity of the big toe, the little toe, and the heel during the swing from the beginning of the swing to the end of the swing. At the same time, the visual recording means visually records the swing. The recording means records the body weight applied on the left foot measured by the left foot weight measuring means, the body weight applied on the right foot measured by the right foot measuring means, and the visual image of the swing recorded by the visual recording means. At this time, since the synchronizing means synchronously drives the left foot weight measuring means, the right foot weight measuring means, and the visual recording means, the body weight applied on the left foot, the body weight applied on the right foot, and the image of the swing are recorded in a state of mutual coincidence at each point of the swing.
- The display means displays in the vicinity of the right foot template in at least three areas in the vicinity of the big toe, the little toe, and the heel, weight loads corresponding to each area at point A in the swing recorded by the recording means, together with the visual image of the swing at point A in the swing.
- Consequently, by merely looking at the visual image displayed by the displaying means, one could be able to identify which of the prescribed points in the swing the weight loads represent, and be able to identify the body weight distribution status in at least three areas in the vicinity of the big toes, the little toes, and the heels for both left and right feet.
- By analyzing the course of body weight distributions in these three areas and the progress of the swing, namely comparing the result of analysis with the flight direction, distance, and trajectory of the ball being hit by the swing, the swinger is able to simply recognize the differences between the body weight distributions of these three areas at the time of making good swing (good shot) and bad swing (mis shot). Accordingly, the swinger is able to correct inappropriate swings into appropriate swings by practicing a swing imagining the course of the body weight distributions in these three areas to meet the course of the body weight distributions revealed when making good swings (good shots).
