Definitions

  • FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing analyzed swing angles of a golf club when a human player makes a downswing of the club.
  • the motor shaft 21 of arm portion 5 and the motor shaft 22 of the grip holder 4 are respectively coupled directly to the rotating sliding contact 30 of the potentiometer either directly, or indirectly through a non-slip belt, for example. Consequently, the angle of rotation of the slider contact 30 corresponds exactly to that of motor shafts 21 and 2 2.
