Putter-Golf Ball Impact Charles Roth Prof. Zable Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Colorado at Boulder With Karsten Manufacturing Corp. 10/13/04 Proposal Presentation
Project Requirements • Acquire data at the moment the club strikes the ball • Convert readings to determine location of impact on club face • Wireless interface with computer • Size/Mass of device must not influence swing 10/13/04 Proposal Presentation
Project Background • Array of reflective photodiodes mounted on club • Photodiodes give voltage readings based on ball location • Algorithm created to convert voltage readings to impact location 10/13/04 Proposal Presentation
Upcoming Design Work • Continue in same direction • Make current device smaller • Develop new corresponding algorithms • Design to fit on Ping putter • Reconsider Methodology • Alternate type of sensor • New algorithms to determine impact location 10/13/04 Proposal Presentation
Project Schedule • Determine data acquisition method to be used • Order necessary parts • Design, test and modify device • Develop algorithm to convert readings into impact location 10/13/04 Proposal Presentation
