Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'entraînement à la frappe pour des accessoires de frappe sportifs, tels que des clubs de golf, des battes de base-ball et des queues de billard, transmettant au joueur maniant l'accessoire un retour d'informations concernant la précision du mouvement de rotation de l'accessoire qui entre en contact avec une balle. Le dispositif comprend un ou plusieurs capteurs qui détectent une impulsion dans l'accessoire provoquée par une frappe de balle. Les capteurs détectent une vibration et/ou un couple dans l'impulsion. Le dispositif peut déterminer des caractéristiques de la frappe de balle, telles que la position de la frappe sur l'accessoire, la distance à partir d'un emplacement cible de la frappe constituant un point idéal, et la torsion de l'accessoire du fait de la frappe de balle, à partir des données d'impulsion. Le dispositif génère un signal d'entraînement en fonction des caractéristiques de frappe, et délivre le signal d'entraînement au joueur avec un temps de latence perceptible nul ou minime après la frappe, afin de décrire au joueur la frappe par rapport à la frappe de balle cible.
