BACKGROUND

The main function of a golf club is to hit the ball, and the strength of hitting the ball will directly affect the hitting distance. When golfers use putters to put shots, they are not clear about the value of their own force, which is large and small, resulting in a large deviation in putting shots. The existing technology belongs to blind hitting. Without any reference value, players need a lot of long-term training to master the technique of putting force. If we can know the strength to be used before a stroke, and this strength is exactly the required hitting strength calculated according to the distance, it will make the hitting effect more accurate.

Players can push the ball according to the preset force value applied based on the actual rolling distance of the ball, the force is released to hit the ball, thus greatly improving the accuracy of pushing. In addition, when using the grip to operate the club head to hit a small ball, the instantaneous force value generated at the moment of hitting is also recorded and displayed, and the player can compare the preset force value with the actual force value of hitting the small ball to improve the putting level of the golf putter.
