System, device, and method for improving sports swing striking accuracy

Abstract

A device, system and method for managing swinging effectiveness of a sports related striking object configured to strike a struck object, is disclosed. The struck object may have a struck object diameter. The device may include a chalklike material, a substantially spherical shape, and a diameter of between approximately ⅕ to ⅓ the struck object diameter. The method may include: placing a first substantially spherical chalklike object on a golf tee; taking a first swing with a golf club and striking the substantially spherical chalklike object with a golf club thereby leaving a chalklike mark on a striking surface of the golf club; viewing the chalklike mark on the striking surface, and noting a first difference between a location of the chalklike mark and a sweet spot on the striking surface; placing a second substantially spherical chalklike object on the golf tee; taking a second swing with the golf club and striking the second spherical chalklike object with the golf club and adjusting the second swing in order to minimize a second difference between a second chalklike mark made from striking the second spherical chalklike object and the sweet spot on the striking surface based on the first distance noted in the noting.

 a chalklike material;   a substantially spherical shape; and   a diameter of between approximately ⅕ to ⅓ the struck object diameter.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the device is approximately ¼ the struck object diameter. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device is configured to leave a mark on a striking face of the striking object at a point of contact of the striking face with the device. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the mark left on the contact face provides a visual indication showing a difference between the point of contact and a predetermined location on the striking face. of a level of accuracy 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein the predetermined location is a sweet spot on one of a group consisting of a golf club, a baseball bat, a hockey stick, a tennis racket, a polo mallet, and a cricket bat. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the predetermined location is a sweet spot on a golf club. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the chalklike material is a brittle porous material. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the chalklike material is chalk. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the striking object is a golf club. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the struck object is a golf ball. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1 , striking object is one of a golf club, a baseball bat, a hockey stick, a tennis racket, a polo mallet, and a cricket bat. 
     
     
         12 . A system for improving a golf swing comprising:
 a substantially spherical target object comprised substantially of a chalklike material configured to leave a mark on a golf club striking surface wherein the substantially spherical target object has a diameter of between approximately ⅕ to ⅓ of a diameter of a golf ball wherein the substantially spherical target object is configured to be placed on a golf tee.   
     
     
         13 . A method of managing golf swing accuracy comprising:
 placing a first substantially spherical chalklike object on a golf tee;   taking a first swing with a golf club and striking the substantially spherical chalklike object with the golf club thereby leaving a chalklike mark on a striking surface of the golf club;   viewing the chalklike mark on the striking surface, and noting a first difference between a location of the chalklike mark and a sweet spot on the striking surface;   placing a second substantially spherical chalklike object on the golf tee; and   taking a second swing with the golf club and striking the second spherical chalklike object with the golf club and adjusting the second swing in order to minimize a second difference between a second chalklike mark made from striking the second spherical chalklike object and the sweet spot on the striking surface based on the first distance noted in the noting.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the first and second substantially spherical chalklike objects each have a diameter of between approximately ⅕ to ⅓ of a diameter of the golf ball. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the first and second substantially spherical chalklike objects each have a diameter of approximately ¼ of a diameter of the golf ball. 
     
     
         16 . A method of managing object striking effectiveness for striking a target object with a striking implement, the method comprising:
 striking a first substantially spherical chalklike object with the striking implement, and leaving a first mark on a striking surface of the striking implement;   noting a location of the first mark on the striking surface and evaluating a difference between the location of the first mark and a predetermined location on the striking surface; and   one of;
 based on the difference between the location of the first mark and the predetermined location on the striking surface, adjusting a subsequent swing of the striking implement in order to minimize a subsequent distance between a subsequent mark made on the striking surface and the predetermined location on the striking surface; and 
 taking a subsequent swing and attempting to strike a second spherical chalklike object with the striking surface at the same location as the location of the first mark. 
   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the predetermined location is a sweet spot on a golf club. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein predetermined location is a sweet spot on one of a group consisting of a golf club, a baseball bat, a hockey stick, a tennis racket, a polo mallet, and a cricket bat. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein predetermined location is a sweet spot on one of a golf club, a baseball bat, a hockey stick, a tennis racket, a polo mallet, and a cricket bat.
