Abstract

A golf swing action correcting unit, which gives information about a plurality of stages corresponding to a plurality of golf swing actions, comprises: a control unit for generating signals corresponding to the plurality of stages; and an information-giving unit for generating information by means of signals corresponding to one or more of the plurality of stages in accordance with the signals from the control unit.

Claims

1. A golf swing action correcting device, which gives information about a plurality of phases corresponding to a plurality of golf swing actions, comprising:

a control unit configured to generate signals corresponding to the plurality of phases; and

an information-giving unit configured to generate information by signals corresponding to one or more phases of the plurality of phases in accordance with the signals generated by the control unit.

2. The golf swing action correcting device of claim 1, wherein the information generated by the information-giving unit is a vibration.

3. The golf swing action correcting device of claim 1, further comprising:

a tempo control unit configured to set the signals to adjust a time interval between two adjacent phases among the plurality of phases.

4. The golf swing action correcting device of claim 1, further comprising:

a coupling unit located on a surface of the device, and capable of being fixed to a part of a body of a golfer.

5. The golf swing action correcting device of claim 1, further comprising:

a sensing unit configured to detect separation of a golf ball from a placing unit on which the golf ball placed; and

a notification unit configured to selectively generate a first notification among a plurality of notifications during a first time duration upon detecting the separation of the golf ball from the placing unit, and after a predetermined time duration, generate a new second notification identical to the first notification during a second time duration.

6. The golf swing action correcting device of claim 5, wherein the plurality of notifications are classified by a light having a plurality of colors, and color of the first notification is identical to color of the second notification.

7. The golf swing action correcting device of claim 5, wherein the second time duration is set longer than the first time duration.

8. The golf swing action correcting device of claim 5, wherein the sensing unit comprises an infrared sensor to detect the separation of the golf ball from the placing unit.

9. The golf swing action correcting device of claim 5, wherein the sensing unit comprises a weight sensor to detect the separation of the golf ball from the placing unit.
