Abstract
An athletic training implement is provided. The implement has a light emitting device, such as a laser, affixed thereto such that a beam of narrow light is emitted from the training implement that is indicative of the path of movement of the implement. In a training method, a chart is provided having a pattern thereon. As such, the user can be trained in the use of the athletic implement by repetitively causing the beam of light to follow the pattern on the chart so that a smooth, consistent movement of the athletic training implement can be learned by the user. The pattern on the chart may have a plurality of lines which may be straight or curved and can be horizontal vertical, or diagonal depending on the movement desired to be taught the user. While particularly adapted for training for the use of a lacrosse stick, other athletic implements may be used.
Description
- The present invention relates to an athletic implement useful in the training of a person for an athletic event and, more particularly, to a device that allows a user to perform specific training for an event concerning the movement of the athletic implement and to a method for performing that training.
- In general, there are many athletic implements used in various athletic events that require a rather specific pattern of movement by the user. Typically, the implements include lacrosse sticks, baseball bats, ice hockey sticks, field hockey sticks, tennis racquets and the like.
- The achieving of a smooth, consistent movement of a sporting implement is important and an instructor is often needed to teach the particular movement dictated by a specific athletic implement and then observe the student who continues to carry out repetitive duplications of the instructed movement to achieve the smooth, consistent movement needed for that athletic implement.
- One of the difficulties with teaching a user the movements of an athletic implement, however, is that it requires a fairly constant watch by the instructor to made sure that the user is faithfully carrying out the desired, instructed movement for the particular athletic implement such that the time of the instructor is taken up by continuous or at least semi-continuous observation of the student and correction of the movements of that student.
- It would therefore be advantageous to have an athletic implement that could be employed by the user to carry out repetitive movements of the athletic implement along the desired path of movement such that the user could carry out the repetitive moves alone and without or at least with only minimal actual observation by an instructor so that the instructor can teach multiple users at the same time and yet be assured that each user was faithfully carrying out the instructed movement of the athletic implement.
- Accordingly, the present invention overcomes the aforesaid problems and difficulties by providing an improved athletic implement that includes an athletic implement having a light emitter affixed thereto such that the light emitter directs a narrow beam of light outwardly from the athletic implement. The athletic implement is generally of the type that has a handle with a longitudinal axis such that the beam of light directed by the light emitter is in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle of the athletic implement.
- As will be appreciated, the present invention can be directly incorporated into an athletic implement by the manufacturer thereof, or, alternatively, can be produced separately and added onto or retrofitted to existing or currently marketed athletic implements.
- In an exemplary embodiment, the light emitter can be a laser and the athletic implement can be a lacrosse stick such that the beam of light is emitted along the longitudinal axis of the handle, past the basket and there is a simple bracket system used to affix the light emitter to the lacrosse stick to direct the light beam along that path.
- In the method of the invention, there is a chart having a pattern that mimics the desired movement of a lacrosse player such that the user can direct the beam of light along a particular line on the pattern and make repetitive moves that track that line to develop a smooth and consistent movement of the lacrosse stick. Thus, the method can be used to train a user in the proper motion of a lacrosse stick in playing the game of lacrosse.
- The invention is applicable to other athletic implements to improve the manipulation of athletic implements employed in other sports.
- These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent during the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings herein.
-
FIG. 1 is a side view of a lacrosse stick constructed in accordance with the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is an exploded view illustrating the assembly of a light emitting device to the lacrosse stick ofFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a method of the present invention in using the lacrosse stick ofFIG. 1 to train a user thereof. - Referring now to
FIG. 1 , there is shown a side view of alacrosse stick 10 constructed in accordance with the present invention. As will be seen, in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention shown and described herein, the athletic implement is a lacrosse stick and the use of the present method to instruct in the use of a lacrosse stick, however, it will be readily seen that the present invention is applicable to other athletic implements, that is, equipment or devices for other athletic events where the movement of an athletic implement is utilized, including, but not limited to, baseball, golf, ice hockey, field hockey, tennis and the like. - As such, in
FIG. 1 , there can be seen thelacrosse stick 10 having anelongated handle 12 and abasket 14 at the distal end of thehandle 12. Thebasket 14 itself has awebbing 16 to hold the ball and thatwebbing 16 is supported by arim 18 having aforward edge 20. Normally, thehandle 12 is a modified octagonal cross sectional shape; however other cross sectional shapes may be utilized consistent with the spirit of the present invention. - There is a
light emitter 22 affixed to thelacrosse stick 10 and, as can be seen, thelight emitter 22 emits alight beam 24 of very narrow light. In an exemplary embodiment, the light emitter is a laser and may be one of a variety of commercially available lasers. - The
light emitter 22 is affixed to thehandle 12 of thelacrosse stick 10 by means of ahousing 26 having abracket 28 that may be a single molded part or thebracket 28 may in some other manner affix thelight emitter 22 to thehandle 12. Thehousing 26 has achamber 30 for mounting thelight emitter 22 therein. - The
light emitter 22 emits thelight beam 24 in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of thehandle 12 so that thelight beam 24 travels along the open side of thebasket 14 proximate to theforward edge 20 of thebasket 14. By proximate, it is meant that thelight beam 24 may pass just above theforward edge 20 of thebasket 14 at a distance of less than about 2 inches. - Turning now to
FIG. 2 , taken along withFIG. 1 , there is shown an exploded view illustrating the various components used in mounting thelight emitter 22 to thehandle 12 of thelacrosse stick 10. Abracket 32 is used in order to be connected tobracket 28 with thehandle 12 of the.acrosse stick 10 sandwiched therebetween. There aresuitable openings 34 in thebracket 28 and there are threadedopenings 36 in thebracket 32 such that threadedbolts 38 can pass through thebracket 28 and be tightened intobracket 32 to compress thebrackets brackets light emitter 32 to thehandle 12 of thelacrosse stick 10. - Obviously, there are other means that could be used to affix the
brackets light emitter 22 to thehandle 12 of thelacrosse stick 10, it being of importance that thelight emitter 22 be preferable located near the distal end of thelacrosse stick 10 and also that thelight beam 24 be directed generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of thelacrosse stick 10. - Turning now to
FIG. 3 , there is shown a perspective view illustrating the method of training a user in the use of thelacrosse stick 10. In this Fig., theuser 40 holds thelacrosse stick 10 and manipulates it by hand to simulate various typical moves made by a lacrosse player in playing the game. There is achart 42 provided and may be free standing or mounted on a wall and which has apattern 44 of desired movements of thelacrosse stick 10 that are the smooth and natural desired movement of thelacrosse stick 10 for the various types of playing movements. For example, thepattern 44 may simulate the act of a player manipulating thelacrosse stick 10 to pick up the ball from the ground, passing the ball to another player or shooting at the goal, all of which can utilize different motions of thelacrosse stick 10. - For example, the
pattern 44 may includehorizontal lines 46,vertical lines 48 and/ordiagonal lines 50. Those lines may be straight or arcuate. As such, theuser 40 can move thelacrosse stick 10 such that thelight beam 24 can track the particular line indicative of the movement that theuser 40 is intending to learn and theuser 40 can then carry out repetitive movements tracking that line or lines to gain a natural smooth motion of thelacrosse stick 10 in the manner that an instructor desires. - As such, there is an advantage in that the instructor can initially pick out a particular movement and instruct the
user 40 to repeat that movement by tracking the line with thelight beam 24 in a continuous manner while the instructor goes on to another person and the instructor will be assured that the user is faithfully carrying out the proper movements of thelacrosse stick 10. - Those skilled in the art will readily recognize numerous adaptations and modifications which can be made to the athletic implement of the present invention and method of training a user in the use of the implement which will result in an improved implement and method, yet all of which will fall within the scope and spirit of the present invention as defined in the following claims. Accordingly, the invention is to be limited only by the following claims and their equivalents.
