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.

A putting training system includes a laser light source attached to the shaft of the putter, a level which is attached to the head of the putter, a putting mat, and putting grips. The laser is utilized to assist in the golfer in the aiming and alignment of the putter face by means of a projection of the laser light forward of the putter face, while the level is utilized to assist the golfer in the proper leveling of the putter head. The mat is utilized to provide guidance to the golfer for putter backswing to generate proper putter striking distance.

A swing analysis apparatus includes a body installed on a shaft, a sensor unit installed in the body, a display device positioned on the body and configured to display swing information in a swing zone and an impact zone by supplying power thereto, and a controller configured to receive measured swing information from the sensor unit, and configured to operate the display unit to notify the outside of that the swing zone is achieved when the measured swing information is equal to or greater than a setting value and to notify the outside of that the impact zone is achieved, wherein the controller analyzes swing information depending on the swing zone and the impact zone and controls the display device to perform respective different display methods when the swing zone and the impact zone are different.

Disclosed is a putter assembly. When fully assembled, the putter allows an individual using said putter (the player) to strike a golf ball with either one of the three available striking surfaces. Said choice of striking surfaces allows the player to utilize the front load putting method, and in alternative, the left or the right handed side putting method. The putter assembly comprises of three primary components: 1) U-shaped striking plate, incorporating the left, right and the front striking plate, wherein each of said striking plates further comprises of an impact area; 2) the frame, comprising of the back connecting member, with a disc for stacking weight plates, and the front connecting member, with a hosel for attaching thereto a shaft; 3) and the shaft, allowing the player to manipulate the movement of the putter. The assembly also incorporates putter alignment features, designed to help the player improve his/her shot accuracy. Said features include: 1) lines for visually aligning the impact areas of the striking plates; 2) indicium lines, for identifying the tilt of the shaft, being held by the player.

A golf club fitting apparatus and a method for fitting using the apparatus are provided. The golf club fitting apparatus may be attached to a golf club and provide fitting information including effective lie angle, effective loft angle, stroke plane, and aiming verification information. That golf club fitting apparatus includes a first opening for receiving a shaft, second openings for receiving a collimated light source, third openings for receiving angle indicators, and a recess for securing the collimated light source in an alternate configuration.

A putter head comprising a novel alignment structure is disclosed herein. In particular, the putter comprises an alignment sphere attached to an upper surface of a lower flange and an alignment ring suspended over the lower flange and vertically aligned with the alignment sphere. When a golfer has oriented the putter properly in front of a golf ball at address, the alignment sphere will appear to the golfer to be encircled by the alignment ring.

A golf club head has a body defining a ball striking face. The body further has a first leg extending away from the ball striking face and a second leg extending away from the ball striking face wherein a void is defined between the first leg and the second leg. The body further defines a cover that extends over the void. The golf club head may further have support structures and adjustable weight members.

A golf training putting aid that attaches to or is built into any putter club head to assist with self-teaching and development of professional putting fundamentals of posture and stroke. The removable aid will produce a professional, consistent, and repeatable putting posture through muscle memory habits with immediate visual feedback.

A putting stroke apparatus and method is provided that determines and simulates the proper putting stroke using at least an aiming direction and initial ball speed for successfully making a particular putt based on particular putting green characteristics and the location of the golf hole on the putting green. A pendulum putter apparatus is coupled with a putting diagnostic tool wherein the putting diagnostic tool determines at least an aiming direction and initial ball speed for a particular putt using inputs such as: (i) topographic information (e.g., contours) specific to the green; (ii) the green speed at a particular time; (iii) the golf hole location (i.e., the physical location of the golf hole); and (iv) the golf ball location on the green (i.e., the physical location of the golf ball).

A golf practice putter includes a putter head coupled to a lower end of a shaft and having a putter face and a hitting member selectively coupled to the putter head. A through hole is formed in the putter head to be stepped such that a fastening bolt pass through the through hole upwards from a bottom face of the putter head, and a cutout portion is formed in the putter face corresponding to the through hole to open a portion of an upper face of the putter head in a hitting direction. The hitting member is formed in a shape of a golf ball, and a seating face seated on the upper face and supported by an edge of the upper face and a support face are formed to be stepped in a bottom face of the hitting member.
