Systems and methods for creating a player swing score and creating training recommendations accordingly
In one embodiment, a method for training a golfer and providing a Swingscore includes, tabulating a plurality of model player data sets for a plurality of clubs to create a tabulated plurality of model player sets. The method further including capturing a user player data set for a plurality of clubs. The method further including comparing the user player data set of the plurality of model player data sets. The method further including determining a Swingscore based on the comparison. In one configuration, the Swingscore is determined by comparing two positions of a set of ten positions of the user player data set to corresponding two positions of the tabulated plurality of model player data sets.
1 . A system for determining a Swingscore, the system comprising:
a launch monitor device, the launch monitor device comprising an imaging sensor configured to capture club characteristics of a golf club swung by a user;
a Swingscore module operating on a computing device different from the launch monitor device and in wired or wireless communication with the launch monitor device, the Swingscore module determining a Swingscore based on the club characteristics; and
a display module operating on the computing device, the display module displaying the Swingscore to the user,
wherein the display module further displays a color indicative of the Swingscore.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the launch monitor device captures the club characteristics in at least one of positions P1-P10.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein positions P1-P10 include P1—the Address; P2—the Takeaway, P3—Backswing, P4—Top of Swing, P5—the Downswing (or transition), P6—Preimpact—the club position prior to impact, P7—Impact, P8—Release, P9, P10—Finish—final position of the club.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the Swingscore module only utilizes positions P4-P7.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the Swingscore is calculated at least partly on a basis of a velocity of the club.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the Swingscore is calculated at least partly on a basis of a height of the club.
7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the Swingscore is calculated at least partly on a basis of a position of a face of the club.
8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the display module provides an indication of an increase in the Swingscore based on an increase in the velocity of the club.
9 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the display module provides an indication of an increase in the Swingscore based on a correction to the height of the club.
10 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the display module provides an indication of an increase in the Swingscore based on a correction to the position of the face of the club.
11 . A method for determining a Swingscore, the method comprising:
with an imaging sensor of a launch monitor device, capturing club characteristics of a golf club swung by a user;
with a Swingscore module operating on a computing device different from the launch monitor device and in wired or wireless communication with the launch monitor device, determining a Swingscore based on the club characteristics;
with a display module operating on the computing device, displaying the Swingscore to the user; and
with the display module, displaying a color indicative of the Swingscore.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the launch monitor device captures the club characteristics in at least one of positions P1-P10.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein positions P1-P10 include P1—the Address; P2—the Takeaway, P3—Backswing, P4—Top of Swing, P5—the Downswing (or transition), P6—Preimpact—the club position prior to impact, P7—Impact, P8—Release, P9, P10—Finish—final position of the club.
14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein Swingscore module only utilizes positions P4-P7.
15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the Swingscore is calculated at least partly on a basis of a velocity of the club.
16 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the Swingscore is calculated at least partly on a basis of a height of the club.
17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the Swingscore is calculated at least partly on a basis of a position of the face of the club.
18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the display module provides an indication of an increase in the Swingscore based on an increase in the velocity of the club or a correction to the height of the club.
