1. A practice apparatus for a golf club including a grip and a head mounted through a shaft on said grip, comprising:
- a triaxial acceleration sensor mounted on said head;
a ball discharge direction detection means for detecting a direction of discharge of a golf ball hit;
a data processing unit, for processing acceleration data in three detection-axis directions outputted from said triaxial acceleration sensor and for processing data outputted from said ball discharge direction detection means, to determine the direction of discharge of the golf ball, rotation thereof and the flying distance thereof resulting in display data representing the locus of the golf ball;
a data transmission unit for transmitting the data outputted from said triaxial acceleration sensor and the data outputted from said ball discharge direction detecting means to said data processing unit; and
a display means for displaying the locus of the golf ball in response to the display data received from said data processing unit.

Abstract
A practice apparatus for a swing type athletic equipment capable of permitting a practicer to accurately know a locus of a ball hit. A triaxial acceleration sensor is mounted in a head of a golf club. Acceleration data in three detection-axis directions outputted from the triaxial acceleration sensor are transmitted to a data processing unit through a data transmission unit arranged in the grip. The data processing unit analyzes a locus of a golf ball hit and swing thereof based on the acceleration data. Results of the analysis are displayed on a monitor.
