87 Method and apparatus for analyzing a golf swing US13570873 2012-08-09 US08469839B2 2013-06-25 Hideyuki Ishii
This disclosure relates to a method for analyzing a golf swing, and an associated apparatus for use in the method. More specifically, this disclosure relates generally to a method of analyzing a golf swing by impacting a deformable medium with a golf club head. In the method, a club head impacts the deformable medium, causing the deformable medium to change shape. The change in shape may then be correlated to the value of a swing profile characteristic. Alternatively, the deformable medium may include a sensor, such that the sensor senses a measurement that is correlated to a value of a swing profile characteristic. Also disclosed are a deformable medium and a kit for use in the method.

A method for training for improving a user's play of a golf short game by providing first and second trajectory targets at different heights and with first and second visual attributes, and providing first and second distance targets with the first and second attributes respectively. A first golf shot is hit through the first trajectory target at the first height at a first trajectory. A second golf shot is hit through the second trajectory target at the second height with a second trajectory. The user associates the first attribute with the first trajectory and the second attribute with the second trajectory. The user then attempts to hit a third shot to the first distance target having the first attribute using the first trajectory and a fourth shot to the second distance target having the second attribute using the second trajectory.
98 Soccer targeting aid US11289982 2005-11-30 US07407452B1 2008-08-05 Phillip Gawthrop
A targeting aid for use with goals characterized by opposing uprights and a crossbar has a first connector connected to the crossbar. A support extends rearwardly and downwardly relative to the first connector and connects to a second connector behind the goal plane defined by the uprights and the crossbar. From the support a target is provided which is preferably elevationally adjustable and spaced by a member from the support. By spacing the target within the confines of the goal (i.e., rearward of the goal plane) it is not in a position to be inadvertently contacted by a goal keeper.
99 Device for improving pitching performance US11119194 2005-04-29 US07179179B2 2007-02-20 David McDaniel
An air mattress has a resilient front panel, an opposed rear panel and at least one interior panel extending therebetween dividing the mattress into ball and strike chambers. A ball air valve attached to the rear panel at the ball chamber activates in response to a predetermined pressure increase in the chamber occurring in response to deflection of the front panel at the ball chamber. A strike air valve attached to the rear panel at the strike chamber activates in response to a predetermined pressure increase in the chamber occurring in response to deflection of the front panel at the strike chamber. Signaling devices alert when a strike or ball air valve activates informing a user whether a pitch is a ball or a strike.
100 Target apparatus for a sport goal US11133486 2005-05-20 US20060033284A1 2006-02-16 Arthur Birss
A target apparatus includes a bracket for attachment to a goal frame member such that a front of the bracket faces a forward direction perpendicular to a front goal plane of the goal, a back of the bracket faces a rearward direction and a defensive area side is adjacent a defensive area of the goal. A target defines a front target plane and a projectile receptacle. A target hinge connects the bracket and target such that the target is located adjacent the defensive area side, such that the target is rotatable relative to the bracket between a forward target position in which the front target plane is perpendicular to the forward direction and a deflected target position and such that the front target plane is rearward of the front of the bracket in the forward target position. A biasing mechanism urges the target to rotate toward the forward target position.
