The signal generator 133 includes a speaker 132 for generating a sound (voice or sound) signal and a notification lamp 134 for generating a lighting signal using light. In the illustrated embodiment, the signal generator 133 includes both the notification lamp 134 and the speaker 132, but may include only one of the notification lamp 134 and the speaker 132.

When the head of the golf club contacts the sensor tip 135 connected to the touch sensor, the touch sensor detects this and the speaker 132 and the notification lamp 134 operate to inform the exerciser that the swing is correctly made. .

The touch sensor is connected to the sensor tip 135 to detect the contact of the sensor tip 135, it may be used to detect the vibration caused by the impact of the sensor tip 135, in the contact of the sensor tip 135 It may be a method of detecting a change in capacitance generated or static electricity. However, the touch sensor is not limited to the above-described method, and other types of sensors capable of detecting a change due to contact may be applied.

Since the sensor tip 135 is integrally contacted with the golf club head, since the occurrence of damage, such as abrasion or breakdown, is inevitably caused by contact and impact, the sensor tip 135 is preferably connected to the touch sensor in a detachable structure.

And the sensor tip 135 is preferably manufactured so that the length can be adjusted according to the position where the sensor body and the ball is placed.

In addition, the sensor tip 135 is preferably made of a soft synthetic resin material so that the impact is not transmitted to the golfer as possible when in contact with the club head.

In the speaker 132, an electronic sound such as "ding dong" may be reproduced, or a recorded voice such as "OK ~" may be reproduced.

In the case of the notification lamp 136, when the touch is detected and the touch sensor is detected, the touch sensor may be turned on after a few seconds, and then turned off. As you would see in green, you can change the color of the lights to let the practitioner know that the swing is correct.
