The Actuator Suite will be comprised of active or passive actuators for the purpose of controlling the dynamics of the club head or club shaft, including vibration. The
Actuator Suite 7 will be attached to or embedded within the club head or club shaft. This technology is applicable to a variety of sports instruments for which golfing is but one example. Other examples include baseball bats, tennis or racquetball racquets, cricket bats and fencing swords. Although the above description relates to a specific preferred embodiment as presently contemplated by the inventor, it will be understood that the invention in its broad aspect includes functional equivalents of the elements described herein. - The invention may also be used in other applications involving sensing and/or controlling motion in 3D space such as automotive, aerospace, mining, and self sensing, autonomous toys to name a few.
- The invention includes full 6 degree-of-freedom (DOF) motion sensing and measurement capabilities (3 DOF in translation, 3 DOF in rotation). Prior art typically incorporates a sensor suite of reduced measurement capability (i.e. less than 6 DOF) and the adoption of assumptions regarding the motion of the club (e.g. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,779,555, 5,233,544, 3,717,857).
- Both the golf club and the player be instrumented with sensor suites and data be collected from each. This collected data will be fused to perform the analysis. For example, the club path information derived from the club mounted sensor suite will be combined with the shift motion of the user measured using the player mounted sensor suite to isolate characteristics of the swing. Prior art shows instrumentation of the club (e.g. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,779,555, 5,233,544) or instrumentation of the user but not instrumentation of both and the combined use of data to analyse the swing.
- Given a complete data set, the swing can be scrutinised to indicate source of problems—not just indicate that a problem exists. Quite often, prior art shows devices with capabilities to indicate that there is a problem with the swing (e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,779,555) but there are often several possible sources of the problem, which the devices fail to identify.
- Given the ability to define sources of problems, recommendations for correcting swing problems can be made. Many of the analysis and training devices are able to provide feedback (e.g. audible, tactile) that a problem exists (e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,941,779) but fail to quantify the depth of the problem or suggest recommendations for corrections.
- Using the data collected from the swing, an accurate mathematical model of a user's golf swing is developed. This model can be used for parametric analysis studies to see how changing aspects of the swing can change the swing performance. Prior art shows some devices with the capability to replay the swing or display characteristics of the swing (e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,056,783) but none have been found that develop a mathematical model of the swing. Further, the use of Inertial Navigation Systems and advanced signal processing methods such as Kalman Filters, state estimators and observers, as well as embedded modelled or empirical knowledge of golf club motion have not been addressed.
- An optimal trajectory and swing parameters may be obtained for the player. Using the data collected from the sensor suite, a full dimensional path of the club can be defined in an earth fixed or inertial reference frame. Most of the prior art shows the use of video systems or external, earth fixed measuring devices to measure club trajectory.
- Using the club head orientation information, the acceleration, velocity, and position data can be resolved into their components to identify problems with the swing. Once again, prior art does not show this being done to the proposed level of kinematics detail (i.e.6 degrees of freedom).
- Parameter by parameter comparison capability to a standard or optimal swing is possible. This is made possible by the availability of full kinematics information, which is not present in the prior art.
- Given complete kinematics information and a mathematical model, information regarding the use of the player's muscles can be derived. Although prior art includes muscle trainers, none are known to quantify the degree of use of muscles in generating a swing.
- The invention has the ability to communicate via wired or wireless means to a variety of new display and computational devices, such as a PalmPilot™, a Gameboy™, etc. Although prior art shows the use of both wired and wireless communication (e.g. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,233,544, 5,056,783), specific application level details differ with the availability of new display devices.
- The user mounted sensor suite can be used to define body characteristics such as trunk angle tilt, body rotation, shift of the centre of rotation, arm motion, weight shift, etc., all of which are known to effect swing performance. U.S. Pat. No. 5,233,544,
claim 4 makes some mention of this concept but in little detail. - Depending on the display device of choice, the invention can be self-contained and portable.
- Having a complete set of swing information available means that many aspects of the swing can be analysed using the same device. Prior art shows existing devices target only certain aspects of a swing.
- Club face angle can be measured in two directions because of full orientation data being available. One of these angles will provide information on the effective loft angle of the club, which is known to affect ball trajectory. Prior art shows measurement of club face angle in one direction (e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 3,945,646) but none have been identified that are able to measure the club face angle that defines the effective loft angle of the club.
- The location of the club face/ball impact point is defined using impact measurements made by the sensor suites. Prior art shows the use of special club faces or sensor arrays (e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 4,991,850) to accomplish this task.
- Active vibration control. Most prior art systems use passive means (e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,718,643, 5,935,027) to reduce shaft vibrations. The sensor suite supports the interchangeability of sensors to maximise versatility. Improved performance are realised from the sensor suite by quantifying characteristics of the sensor and embedding this knowledge, be it modelled or empirical, into the platform software.
- Significant performance enhancement is achieved via embedded knowledge of the motion of the golf club and the sensor suite. Moreover, embedded knowledge of the motion of the gold club may result in a reduction in the number of sensors required to generate the full kinematic/dynamic details of the golf swing/club leading to a more cost effective solution.
- Although the above description relates to a specific preferred embodiment as presently contemplated by the inventors, it will be understood that the invention in its broad aspect includes mechanical and functional equivalents of the elements described herein.
