Patent ID: 7329193

Claim:
An electronic golf swing analyzer system, comprising: a. an analyzer including an infrared sensor base and an ultrasonic sensor base, said infrared sensor base includes a hitting area with a center axis with two arrays of infrared sensors located therein used to detect the presence of a golf club head moving through said hitting area, each said array of infrared sensors being located on opposite sides and equal distance from said center axis, said ultrasonic sensor base being perpendicularly aligned and extending upward above said infrared sensor base, said ultrasonic sensor base including at least two ultrasonic sensors aimed at said hitting area, said ultrasonic sensors being located on opposite sides and equal distance from said center axis and approximately six inches apart, said array of infrared sensors and said ultrasonic sensors being controlled so that when a golf club head moves across said hitting area on said infrared sensor base and parallel to said ultrasonic base, said array of infrared sensors located in front of said center axis being activated when said golf club head moves through said hitting area and which then sequentially activates said ultrasonic sensor on the same side of said center axis and said array of infrared sensors and said ultrasonic sensor located on the opposite side of said center axis; b. a computer having working memory; c. means for connecting said analyzer to said computer; and, d. a golf swing analyzing software application loaded into said working memory of said computer, said software application uses the data from infrared sensors located before said center line axis when said golf club head moves through said hitting area to determine the club head's speed and face angle, said software application also uses the data from said two ultrasonic sensors as said travels through said hitting area to determine the swing path angle.
