GOLF SWING MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A golf club head comprising:
- a club face with at least one impact sensor, the sensor being of a passive piezoelectric element and integrated into the club face, the passive piezoelectric element being operable to generate a signal when an impact force is applied to the club face;
an energy storage assembly including at least one of a battery and a capacitor; and
an energy harvesting assembly including a signal divider with at least one input and at least two outputs, the at least two outputs providing a known ratio of a given input signal,wherein;
(1) the at least one input of the signal divider is electrically coupled to one or more of the piezoelectric elements, and(2) a first of the at least two signal divider outputs is electrically coupled to the energy storage assembly.

Abstract
A golf club head includes a club face with at least one impact sensor, where the sensor has a passive piezoelectric element that is integrated into the club face, the passive piezoelectric element being able to generate a signal when an impact force is applied to the club face. An energy storage assembly includes a battery, a capacitor, or both. An energy harvesting assembly includes a signal divider with at least one input and at least two outputs, the at least two outputs providing a known ratio of a given input signal, wherein the at least one input of the signal divider is electrically coupled to one or more of the piezoelectric elements and a first of the at least two signal divider outputs is electrically coupled to the energy storage assembly.
