Abstract
A convex, hemispherically shaped striking member is removably attached to the blade of a putter. Practice putting strokes are executed. The trajectory of the golf ball indicates whether the golf ball was struck squarely. Repeated practice, resulting in putting strokes in which the ball moves in a straight line in the intended direction, builds muscle memory for executing a desired putting stroke and improved concentration and focus on the golf ball.
Claims15
A golf swing teaching aid for use with a putter having a golf ball striking surface, comprising, in combination:
- a convex, hemispherically shaped striking member,
- a means for removably attaching said striking member to the striking face of said putter;
- wherein said putter is manipulated in a putting stroke to strike a golf ball such that said convex, hemispherically shaped striking member strikes said golf ball and the trajectory of said golf ball indicates the quality of the putting stroke.
A method of improving the accuracy of the putting stroke of a golfer, comprising the steps of:
- attaching a convex, hemispherically shaped striking member to a striking surface of a putter at an elevation such that the center of said striking member corresponds to and is substantially aligned with the center of a golf ball to be struck in a putting stroke;
- taking at least one practice putting stroke with said putter wherein said at least one practice putting stroke is executed such that said convex, hemispherically shaped striking member strikes said golf ball, with the trajectory of said golf ball from said putter indicating the accuracy of the putting stroke;
- removing said convex, hemispherically shaped striking member from said putter;
- and
- executing at least one putting stroke in a normal fashion.
Golf teaching apparatus, comprising, in combination:
- a package containing at least one convex, hemispherically shaped striking member adapted to be fastened to a striking surface of a putter;
- and
- printed instructions, associated with said package, for instructing a golfer to attach one of said convex hemispherically shaped striking members to said striking surface of said putter, whereby said golfer may execute practice putting strokes with said putter such that said convex, hemispherically shaped striking member strikes a golf ball and the trajectory of said golf ball from said putter is indicative of the accuracy of said putting strokes.
