Abstract

This invention relates to the field of sports training devices and more specifically electronic training devices that show the user in a quantitative manner the quality of a particular performance criteria to be measured. The device is either part of or is attached to a flying disc, and is used for measuring and improving rotational velocity and time aloft, both of which help athletes-beginners to advanced-improve their overall throwing skill. There are many disc sports that are growing and can use such a device to provide instant feedback, which is a fundamental training technique that enables quick improvement of skills.

Claims

1. An electronic training device that is either an integral part of a flying disc or is a separate unit that may be attached to a flying disc which is capable of detecting, measuring, and displaying the rotational velocity of the flying disc.

2. An electronic training device that is either an integral part of a flying disc or is a separate unit that may be attached to a flying disc that is capable of measuring and displaying the total time that the flying disc is in the air.
