Abstract
A golf training system generally includes a photoluminescent light-reactive surface and a light source that is placed on a golf club. During a training stroke performed over the photoluminescent surface, the light source excites phosphors in the light-reactive surface during a stroke and in doing so creates a transient visible “record” of the precise track the club head makes during the stroke. In some embodiments, the system can include a training ball having a phosphorescent material affixed to or integrated into the surface of the ball so that a light source placed on the golf club excites the phosphorescent material and indicates the point of contact between the golf club and the training ball.
