Method and system for defining and using a reference swing for a sports training system

Abstract

A method and system define a reference swing for a sports training system, steps of and structures for forming a humanoid for using a plurality of formulae for defining the movements of a sports implement throughout a swinging motion, while using said plurality of formulae for defining the movements of the golf club throughout a plurality of known positions during the swinging motion. The method and system link said humanoid to said plurality of formulae using a plurality of planes perpendicular to the target line, said target line defined as a line passing through the golf ball to the target. A lower plane relates to the shaft of the sports implement; with a first point and a second point of said lower plane associated at the hosel of the sports implement, and an entry point of the shaft into the head on the sports implement and the swinger's hands. A middle plane relates to the plane that passes through two points, the center of the sports implement sweet spot and the right elbow of the swinger. A third plane relates to the plane that passed through the toe of the sports implement and the swinger's shoulder. The reference starting said reference swing starts with the swinger at address and the sports implement shaft on the lower plane. The disclosed subject matter also provides for associating the reference motion with a swinger in real time.

1 . A method for defining a reference swing for a sports training system, comprising the steps of 
 forming a humanoid for using a plurality of formulae for defining the movements of a sports implement throughout a swinging motion;    using said plurality of formulae for defining the movements of the golf club throughout a plurality of known positions during the swinging motion;    linking said humanoid to said plurality of formulae using a plurality of planes perpendicular to the target line, said target line defined as a line passing through the golf ball to the target, wherein:    a lower plane relates to the shaft of the sports implement; with a first point and a second point of said lower plane associated at the hosel of the sports implement, and an entry point of the shaft into the head on the sports implement and the swinger's hands;    a middle plane relates to the plane that passes through two points, the center of the sports implement sweet spot and the right elbow of the swinger; and    a third plane relates to the plane that passed through the toe of the sports implement and the swinger's shoulder; and    starting said reference swing starts with the swinger at address and the sports implement shaft on the lower plane.
