Abstract

A motion detecting device includes an electronic component (a sensor) including a sensor section that detects motion on the basis of a detection result of an electronic device functioning as a detection element that detects magnetism and a holding tool attached to a golf club functioning as a moving body, the holding tool including fitting sections functioning as a fixing section that fixes the electronic component (the sensor). A magnetic body is provided in the holding tool.

Claims

1. A motion detecting device comprising:

a sensor including a detection element configured to detect magnetism; and

a holding tool attached to a moving body and including a fixing section configured to fix the sensor, wherein

a magnetic body is provided in the holding tool.

2. The motion detecting device according to claim 1, wherein the magnetic body is a ferromagnetic body.

3. The motion detecting device according to claim 1, wherein the magnetic body is disposed to be symmetrical with respect to an imaginary center line extending along a direction in which the sensor and the holding tool are arranged side by side and passing the moving body.

4. The motion detecting device according to claim 1, wherein the magnetic body is disposed on an inside of the holding tool.

5. The motion detecting device according to claim 1, wherein the magnetic body is disposed on a surface of the holding tool on the moving body side.

6. The motion detecting device according to claim 1, wherein the magnetic body is disposed on a surface on an opposite side of a surface of the holding tool on the moving body side.

7. The motion detecting device according to claim 1, wherein

fitting sections are respectively provided in the holding tool and the sensor, and

the sensor and the holding tool are fixed by fitting the fitting sections with each other.

8. A motion analyzing system comprising:

the motion detecting device according to claim 1;
