Abstract
A swing diagnosis apparatus includes a level calculation section that calculates a level on the basis of a relationship between an incidence angle of a ball hitting portion of an exercise appliance at impact, and an inclination of the ball hitting portion of the exercise appliance at impact.
Claims17
A swing diagnosis apparatus for use with an exercise appliance, the swing diagnosis apparatus comprising:
- a sensor;
- and
- a processor programmed to:
- measure, via the sensor, an incidence angle of a ball hitting portion of the exercise appliance at impact, and an inclination of the ball hitting portion of the exercise appliance at impact, and
- calculate a level on the basis of a relationship between the incidence angle, and the inclination, wherein
- the inclination of the ball hitting portion is a difference between:
- (i) a face angle formed between an outer edge of a hitting surface of the ball hitting portion and a virtual straight line orthogonal to the target hit ball direction, and (ii) the incidence angle, in a plan view.
A swing diagnosis method comprising:
- measuring, via a sensor, an incidence angle of a ball hitting portion of the exercise appliance at impact, and an inclination of the ball hitting portion of the exercise appliance at impact, and
- calculating, by a processor, a level on the basis of a relationship between the measured incidence angle, and the measured inclination, wherein:
- the inclination of the ball hitting portion is a difference between:
- (i) a face angle formed between an outer edge of a hitting surface of the ball hitting portion and a virtual straight line orthogonal to the target hit ball direction, and (ii) the incidence angle, in a plan view.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a swing diagnosis program causing a sensor and a processor to execute steps comprising:
- measuring, by the sensor, an incidence angle of a ball hitting portion of the exercise appliance at impact, and an inclination of the ball hitting portion of the exercise appliance at impact, and
- calculating, by the processor, a level on the basis of a relationship between the measured incidence angle, and the measured inclination, wherein
- the inclination of the ball hitting portion is a difference between:
- (i) a face angle formed between an outer edge of a hitting surface of the ball hitting portion and a virtual straight line orthogonal to the target hit ball direction, and (ii) the incidence angle, in a plan view.
A swing diagnosis apparatus for use with an exercise appliance, the swing diagnosis apparatus comprising:
- a sensor;
- and
- a processor programmed to:
- determine, via the sensor, an incidence angle of a ball hitting portion of the exercise appliance at impact, and an inclination of the ball hitting portion of the exercise appliance at impact, and
- calculate a level based on at least the determined inclination, wherein
- the inclination of the ball hitting portion is a difference between:
- (i) a face angle formed between an outer edge of a hitting surface of the ball hitting portion and a virtual straight line orthogonal to the target hit ball direction, and (ii) the incidence angle, in a plan view.
