GOLF AID INCLUDING HEADS UP DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A golf aid including a practice mode for use while hitting a plurality of golf balls with a golf club, the golf aid comprising:
- a golf ball tracking system for tracking a plurality of golf ball trajectories, each one of the plurality of trajectories corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of golf balls being hit by the golf club;
a heads up display configured to be worn on the user'"'"'s head and display an image within a field of view of the user;
a processor in communication with the golf ball tracking system and the heads up display device, the processor configured to;
compute one or more shot statistics for each one of the plurality of trajectories;
wherein the one or more shot statistics include at least one of an initial ball speed, a spin rate, a total distance, and a carry distance; and
display the one or more computed shot statistics within the field of view of the user via the heads up display following each one of the plurality of golf balls being hit by the golf club, wherein the displayed shot statistics correspond to an immediately preceding trajectory;
display a plurality of traces within the field of view of the user via the heads up display, wherein each one of the plurality of traces corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of trajectories.

Abstract
A golf aid including a practice mode for use while hitting a plurality of golf balls with a golf club includes a golf ball tracking system, a heads up display, and a processor. The golf ball tracking system tracks a plurality of golf ball trajectories, each corresponding to a respective golf ball being hit by the golf club. The heads up display is configured to be worn on the user'"'"'s head and display an image within a field of view of the user. The processor is configured to compute one or more shot statistics for each one of the plurality of trajectories, display the one or more computed shot statistics and a plurality of trajectory traces within the field of view of the user.

8. A golf aid including a practice mode for use while hitting a first plurality of golf balls with a first golf club and while hitting a second plurality of golf balls with a second golf club, the golf aid comprising:
-
a golf ball tracking system for tracking a first plurality of golf ball trajectories each one of the first plurality of golf ball trajectories corresponding to a respective one of the first plurality of golf balls being hit by the first golf club, and for tracking a second plurality of golf ball trajectories each one of the second plurality of golf ball trajectories corresponding to a respective one of the second plurality of golf balls being hit by the second golf club; a heads up display configured to be worn on the user'"'"'s head and display an image within a field of view of the user; and a processor in communication with the golf ball tracking system and the heads up display device, the processor configured to; compute a first club statistic for the first golf club from the tracked first plurality of golf ball trajectories; compute a second club statistic for the second golf club from the tracked second plurality of golf ball trajectories; display at least one of the first club statistic and the second club statistic within the field of view of the user via the heads up display; wherein the first club statistic includes at least one of an average carry distance for the first golf club, an average total distance for the first golf club, and an accuracy metric for the first golf club; and wherein the second club statistic includes at least one of an average carry distance for the second golf club, an average total distance for the second golf club, and an accuracy metric for the second golf club. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory, computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for execution by a processor to perform steps comprising:
-
receiving an indication of a tracked flight of a plurality of golf ball trajectories from a sensor, each one of the plurality of trajectories corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of golf balls being hit by a golf club; computing one or more shot statistics for each one of the plurality of trajectories; wherein the one or more shot statistics include at least one of an initial ball speed, a spin rate, a total distance, and a carry distance; displaying the one or more computed shot statistics within the field of view of the user via a heads up display configured to be worn on the user'"'"'s head; and displaying a plurality of traces within the field of view of the user via the heads up display, wherein each one of the plurality of traces corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of trajectories. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
