Abstract
The invention is a machine for learning the bodily position and motion known as a swing in the game of golf to form correct golf posture based on a player's height, and more specifically the player's distance from the hips to the ground and from the shoulders to the hips and by the motions during the golf swing. The machine learns the bodily position and motions of the golf player in hitting the ball. The machine includes two plates arranged so that they can move on a column, one at the height of the player's hips and the other at the height of the shoulders, the latter with arms leaving said plate and ending in a hinged belt for holding the hips and the other having a lower arm and upper arm terminating in a shoulder bar for holding the player's shoulders.
Claims10
A machine for moving at least one part of a person's body through a repeatable pattern of motions for the learning of that pattern of motions, one such pattern being a golf swing;
- said machine having:
- at least one part of a holding structure for impinging upon a part of the person;
- at least one guide arm having one end coupled to said one part of said structure for imparting selectively controlled movement to said structure, such movement resulting in at least a portion of the pattern of motions for the person's body;
- said arm being oriented substantially horizontally and mounted for controlled movement in a horizontal plane;
- drive means coupled to at least one point on said arm;
- said one end thereby driven to selected points on said plane, for selectively controlled movement of said structure and thereby the person's body part upon which it impinges;
- and
- a template having at least one part thereof coupled to said guide arm;
- said template having at least one pathway defined therein;
- guided means fitted in said pathway and connected to said arm;
- and
- said guided means arranged to be positively driven along said pathway by said drive means to impart movement to said arm and thereby said holding structure, which results in a body part, upon which said structure impinges, to be moved to define at least one portion of said pattern of motions.
