Abstract

The present invention is to provide a putting stroke analyzer, and a putter for use therein, in which a signal generated in a position detecting antenna through electromagnetic induction is detected by stroking a putter having a head added with an LC resonance circuit, i.e. electromagnetic resonators above position detecting mats having a plurality of exciting coils also serving as the position detecting antennas extending, respectively, in the X axis direction and Y axis direction in order to grasp movement of the putter head in the putting stroke of golf continuously with a sufficient accuracy. It contributes to enhancement of skill of a player oneself or guidance of the player and to selection of a putter optimal to the player.

Claims

1. A putting stroke analyzer wherein a signal generated in a position detecting antenna is detected through electromagnetic induction between exiting coils and electromagnetic resonators by stroking a putter having a head having electromagnetic resonators that is an LC resonance having an inductor and a capacitor, and between the electromagnetic resonators and the position detecting antenna.

2. A putting stroke analyzer in accordance with claim 1 wherein a signal generated in a position detecting antenna is detected individually through electromagnetic induction acted by each electromagnetic resonator by stroking the putter added with one electromagnetic resonator at a toe side (tip side viewed from a player) of the head and one electromagnetic resonator at a heel side (this side viewed from a player) of the head.

3. A putting stroke analyzer in accordance with claim 2 wherein a signal generated in a position detecting antenna is detected individually through electromagnetic induction acted by each electromagnetic resonator, setting two pairs of independent position detecting mat adjacently at the both sides of stroking line of the head at the time of using said putter.

4. A putting stroke analyzer in accordance with claim 2 wherein a signal generated in a position detecting antenna is detected individually through electromagnetic induction acted by each electromagnetic resonator by using a pair of mat to make the exciting coils also serving as position detecting antennas work separately at this side and that side of stroking line of head at the time of using said putter.

5. A putter having the head added with the electromagnetic induction in accordance with claim 1.

6. A putter in accordance with claim 5 wherein the electromagnetic induction is removable.
