Specifically, the bottom plate 10 is provided with a mat receiving portion 11 which is embedded in the central portion excluding the edge to be accommodated to the mat 80 to be described later. In addition, the bottom plate 10 is formed in a shape that is embedded in the mat receiving portion 11 to be located in the front of the impact direction of the impact reference line (Y) orthogonal to the horizontal axis (X) that is the rotation axis of the rotary frame 40. The magnetic force sensor receiving groove 5 is arranged in parallel with the above-described horizontal axis (X).

The magnetic force sensor 60 is accommodated in the magnetic force sensor receiving groove (5). The magnetic force sensor 60 is composed of a plurality of sensing elements 65 stacked in series, and is accommodated in the magnetic force sensor accommodating groove 5 so that the center thereof is positioned on the hit reference line Y. In more detail, the magnetic force sensor 60 is composed of a plurality of sensing elements 65, at least the same distance and the same number to the left and right about one sensing element positioned to be aligned with the strike reference line (Y) at least It consists of three or more sensing elements.
