Abstract:
1. A device for attachment to a golf club to provide auditory feedback to a golfer, the device comprising: a housing; a rate sensor disposed within the housing, the rate sensor generating an electronic signal corresponding to an angular momentum generated by the golfer during a golf swing; an amplifier circuit disposed within the housing, the amplifier circuit in electrical communication with the rate sensor, the amplifier circuit amplifying the electrical signal generated by the rate sensor to create an amplified signal; a speaker disposed within the housing, the speaker in electrical communication with the amplifier circuit to generate an audible signal corresponding to the amplified signal, the audible signal having a pitch based on the angular momentum generated by the golfer during the golfer swing; and a power source disposed within the housing, the power source providing power to the rate sensor, the amplifier circuit and the speaker; wherein a frequency of the generated audible signal corresponds to the rotation rate of the golf club when swung by a golfer.
