PRACTICE GOLF PUTTER
20200061439 · 2020-02-27 ·

A practice golf putter includes a body formed to hit a golf ball, the body having a concave portion, which is formed on the front of the body and is open at the front and on the top thereof. The concave portion includes inclined surfaces formed on the left and right sides thereof; and a protrusion formed at a lower end portion of a point at which the inclined surfaces meet, and protruding toward the front. Therefore, the golf putter has the following effects. Since a striking point can be known through the advancing trajectory of the golf ball when the golf ball is struck by a practice golf putter, the location of the practice golf putter can be changed as needed, thereby enabling correct swing stances to be mastered. Therefore, putting can be more quickly learned than when using a conventional technology.

A putting stroke sensor is attachable to a putter head for measuring characteristics of a putting stroke. A motion sensor integrated circuit is configured to measure acceleration of the putter head along several axes and rotation of the putter head around the several axes during a putting stroke. A processor is programmed to determine a speed, a position and an orientation of the putter head at selective intervals during the putting stroke.

MOTION CAPTURE AND ANALYSIS
20200030661 · 2020-01-30 · ·

Systems and methods for motion capture and analysis are described. The system may include a motion sensor unit configured to capture data associated with movement of an object. The motion sensor unit is configured to be directly or indirectly coupled to the movement object at a first location. The system also includes a processor to process the captured data to determine one or more values and to translate the data and/or values to correspond to a second location on the movement object located away from the first location. The data and/or values, including translated data and/or values, may be transmitted by wireless transmitter and displayed by a display unit.

Reversible Sighting Putter
20200023259 · 2020-01-23 · ·

A golf putter that enables dual configuration, namely sighting & play modes whereby the golfer can view both the ball and the hole by means of a mirrored surface, but which is reversible so that the golfer can play within tournament rules. A removable mirrored training aid has a reflective side and can be removed, flipped to a non-reflective side, or simply replaced with a same-weighted non-reflective plate, for use in actual (non-practice) golf play. The golfer can practice his or her stroke while observing the image of the ball and hole in the mirror, and thereby imprinting the correct stroke mechanics into muscle memory. Then, after the golfer has reversed the re-attachable mirrored surface plate to present its non-reflective side, the golfer can use the putter in a round of golf.

Golf putter alignment system
10532264 · 2020-01-14 ·

A golf putter alignment system for viewing an orientation of a putter face relative to a putting line. A mirrored viewing surface is retained at a viewing angle by a selective, adjustable mounting system with an engaging portion, a pivot joint for angular adjustment, and a sliding joint for lateral position adjustment. The pivot joint can be a sleeve joint with an outer sleeve pivotable about a longitudinal axis relative to a core member. The sliding joint can be formed with the viewing surface slidable in relation to an elongate member, such as by being retained by a housing that is slidable in relation to the elongate member. A scope surface with an alignment scope can be retained in spaced relation to the viewing surface. In embodiments, the viewing surface can be disposed within the putter head, and a block of transparent material can have a face forming the putter face.
