Abstract:
A method for analyzing sensor data from baseball swings (or swings in similar sports) that transforms data into a reference frame defined by the bat orientation and velocity at impact. The trajectory of the sweet spot of the bat is tracked through the swing, and is analyzed to generate metrics describing the swing. A two-lever model of the swing may be used to model the effects of body rotation and wrist rotation. Data may be analyzed to identify relevant events during the swing such as start of downswing, commit (wrist release), on-plane, peak bat speed, and impact. Illustrative swing metrics derived from the sweet spot trajectory, the swing plane reference frame, and the two-lever model include: forward bat speed, on-plane rotation, hinge angle at commit, hinge angle at impact, body rotation ratio, body tilt angle, and swing plane tilt angle.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 3  wherein said calculating said time of impact comprises\n determining whether said swing is a valid air swing; and, \n when said swing is said valid air swing, setting said time of impact to a time when a magnitude of said angular velocity data projected onto an xy-plane defined by said x-axis and said y-axis in said reference frame equals a peak value of said magnitude of said angular velocity data projected onto said xy-plane during said swing.
