Abstract
A sports training aid is configured to help improve a player's skills in the game of lacrosse. The sports training aid can embody a lacrosse stick with a head and shaft. In one implementation, the lacrosse stick includes one or more sensors that change state. A controller couples with the sensors to administer one or more training modes. Each training mode can cause the controller to associate the change in state of the sensors in response to movement of the head.
Claims20
A lacrosse stick, comprising:
- a head with a frame;
- a sensor member disposed on the head;
- and
- a control member coupled with the sensor member,
- wherein the control member is configured to operate in a training mode that causes the control member to associate a change in state of the sensor member with movement of the head.
2 more elements
A lacrosse stick, comprising:
- an elongate shaft forming a cylinder;
- a head disposed on the elongate shaft, the head comprising a frame that forms a central open region and netting that couples with the frame to cover the central open region;
- a training aid coupled with each of the elongate shaft and the head, the training aid comprising a sensor member and a control member having a processor, storage memory coupled with the processor, and executable instructions disposed on the storage memory, the executable instructions configured to cause the processor to execute a training mode to use signals from the sensor member to determine an action that occurs on the head.
A method, comprising:
- on a lacrosse stick with a head and shaft:
- generating a first indicator that starts a training mode;
- monitoring a state of a sensor disposed on the head;
- incrementing a value for a counter in response to a change in state of the sensor from a first state to a second state;
- and
- generating a second indicator that stops the training mode in response to the value of the counter.
