INERTIALLY RESPONSIVE GOLF CLUB HEAD MOUNTED DEVICE FOR INSTRUCTING CORRECT CLUB FACE DIRECTION & SWING SPEED
First Claim
1. A device for a golf club for instructing club face orientation for a selected swing speed, said device comprising:
- a body adapted to being secured to a surface of the club head and incorporating a powered processor in communication with an inertially sensitive element; and
said body further including and at least one of an audio and a visual output communicated by said processor and for instructing at least one of a correct swing speed and a correct planar orientation of a contacting face of the club head relative to the golf ball.

Abstract
A device for a golf club for instructing club face orientation for a selected swing speed including a body with a selected thickness and such that a substantially pointed forward end thereof intersects a midpoint of the club contact face and in a perpendicularly extending direction relative to a coplanar axis extending across the club contact face. An adhesive tacky material applied to an underside surface of the body engaging the body to a top surface of the club head. A processor communicates with an inertially sensitive cam shaped member rotatably mounted within a location of the body. A swing speed adjustment knob is in operative communication with the body and in contact with the inertially sensitive element via an adjustment spring. An audio-generating transistor and a plurality of LED elements cooperate with the processor for instructing a correct planar orientation of a contacting face of the club head relative to the golf ball.

12. A device for a golf club for instructing club face orientation for a selected swing speed, said device comprising:
-
a body including an outer housing exhibiting a substantially arrowhead shape with a selected thickness and such that a substantially pointed forward end of said body intersects a midpoint of the club contact face and proceeds in a substantially perpendicularly extending direction relative to a coplanar axis extending across the club contact face; an adhesive tacky material applied to an underside surface of said body and for engaging said body to a top surface of the club head; said body including a powered processor in communication with an inertially sensitive element including at least a weighted and cam shaped member rotatably mounted within a location of said body; at least one of a swing speed adjustment knob and an alignment adjustment dial in operative communication with said body and in contact with said inertially sensitive element via an adjustment spring; and said body further including and at least one of an audio and a visual output communicated by said processor and for instructing either of a desired swing speed and a correct planar orientation of a contacting face of the club head relative to the golf ball. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An inertially and positionally sensitive device for use with a golf putter for instructing club face orientation for a selected swing speed, said device comprising:
-
a body including a sandwichingly engageable base and cover and which is adapted to being secured to a surface of the club head; a power supply incorporated into said body; a swing speed dial incorporated into a first location associated with said body and exhibiting a number of rotational settings, a cam-shaped surface associated with said swing speed dial exhibiting a plurality of contact locations for selectively biasing to varying degrees an interior mounted tempo clip for selectively illuminating a tempo indicating element associated with said body; an accuracy dial incorporated into a second location associated with said body and exhibiting a number of rotation settings for linearly displacing an accuracy adjustment slide within said body; and an accuracy contact mounting to an end of a spring element and extending in both biasing and electrically communicating fashion relative to said accuracy dial, a lateral resistance imparted to said accuracy contact being a variable of an accuracy dial setting and selectively illuminating an accuracy indicating element. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)

22. A device for a putter golf club for instructing club face lie for a selected swing speed, said device comprising:
-
a body constricted of first and second assembleable components and which establishes an interior and component supporting cavity, said body being adapted to being secured to a surface of the club putter head; and said body further including and at least one of an audio and a visual output communicated by said processor and for instructing at least one of a correct swing tempo and a correct planar lie of a contacting face of the club head relative to the golf ball. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
