Abstract

A golf swing analysis kit including a first member that rests on the floor; a second member that is secured to a wall or otherwise securably hung or placed; a third member that can both rest on the first member or removably connect to the front side of the second member; a fourth member that projects the third member from a stationary position resting atop the first member to removably attach to the second member, and a method of analyzing consistency of the projected third member location and correlation to improve a golf swing.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A statistically based golf swing analysis kit comprising:
 a flexible target panel defined by a front surface formed from a transparent hook and loop material positionable over a panel having golf course indicia, said panel including an alignment grid;   a calibrated golf ball formed from a lightweight non-impact material with an outer surface having hook and loop material placed thereon;   a flexible artificial surface pad available positionable a predetermined distance from said target panel, said artificial surface pad having a upper surface formed from synthetic material to represent a portion of a golf course surface;   device means having a camera for capturing a first image of said target panel without said golf ball adhering to the target panel and storing said first image in memory, said device means capturing a second image of said target panel having said golf ball adhering to the target panel, a microprocessor comparing any change between said first and second image to detect said ball, calculating coordinates of said ball, applying a preprogrammed statistical algorithm to calculate statistics of said calculated ball position and applying a preprogrammed statistical algorithm to calculate coordinates to determine at least the distance and trajectory matter in relation to a conventional golf ball struck by a conventional golf club, said matter displaced on a display screen.   
     
     
         2 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1 , wherein said panel is a photograph of a portion of a golf course. 
     
     
         3 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 2 , wherein said photograph is imprinted upon a cloth material. 
     
     
         4 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1  including a microphone for inputting sound burst detection of a moving average. 
     
     
         5 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1 , wherein said target panel includes an alignment grid, said alignment grid having a centrally disposed cross-hair and four corner grid pattern images. 
     
     
         6 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1 , wherein said flexible target panel includes an upper edge securable to an elongated bar and a lower edge securable to an elongated lower, said upper edge may be rolled toward said lower edge forming a storable rolled bundle. 
     
     
         7 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1 , wherein said target includes a viewable grid having spaced apart vertical lines and horizontal lines, each line including a measurement allowing manual statistical analysis of a golf ball adhering to the target surface. 
     
     
         8 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1 , wherein said artificial surface pad further includes a leg assembly having at least two adjustably elongated legs secured to the bottom of said artificial surface pad, said leg assembly creating slope and undulation. 
     
     
         9 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 8 , wherein the bottom portion of said artificial surface pad includes a non-slip silicone pad. 
     
     
         10 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1 , wherein said artificial surface pad further includes an air-bed assembly capable of creating slope and undulation. 
     
     
         11 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1 , wherein said artificial surface pad top has an artificial upper surface selected from the group consisting of sand, fairway turf, tee turf, or thatch. 
     
     
         12 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1 , including a golf club formed from a plastic head coupled to a rigid shaft, a distal end of said shaft having a conventional golf grip secured thereto, said plastic head including a weight constructed and arranged to impact said calibrated golf ball to provide a proportional reaction to a conventional golf club and golf ball. 
     
     
         13 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1  wherein said microprocessor calculates the standard deviation of said golfer's swing and displays deviation on said display screen. 
     
     
         14 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1 , wherein said microprocessor calculates the mean of a golfer's swing and displays the mean on said display device. 
     
     
         15 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1 , wherein said microprocessor calculates the estimated probability of projecting the golf ball to a point on said target and displays the estimated probability on said display screen. 
     
     
         16 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1 , including a table stored in said memory for identifying the appropriate distance between said target panel and said artificial surface pad and providing instructions on orientating the artificial surface pad a distance away from the target panel. 
     
     
         17 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1 , wherein said calibrated ball is formed from EVA foam. 
     
     
         18 . The statistically based golf swing analysis kit as in  claim 1 , wherein said target panel is an electronic display screen.
