FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the sensing module of FIG. 1. Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2, the
如圖2所示,本實施例的感測指向裝置130更包括一判斷單元136。判斷單元136、光學指向器132及感測器134可整合為一感測模組。判斷單元136例如包含判斷電路且電性連接於感測器134。當指向光束L對準目標位置P所在的目標方向時,桿頭120具有一朝向角度(後續亦稱之為第一朝向角度),當桿頭120擊中高爾夫球時,桿頭120具有另一朝向角度(後續亦稱之為第二朝向角度),判斷單元136用以判斷此兩朝向角度的差值,讓使用者能夠據以修正其揮桿動作。以下對此進行更詳細的說明。As shown in FIG. 2, the
