Abstract

The golf ball includes a transmitter (1), antenna (5), power supply (6) and a switch-on unit (3). The latter is activated by a signal from a quartz oscillator (2). The voltage on the quartz oscillator is also evaluated when the ball is struck, so that the quartz acts both as a resonator and an acceleration sensor.
