Abstract
A golf training club has a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. The shaft defines a longitudinal axis. A club head is coupled to the distal end, the club head having a sole, a club face, and an upper surface. An address alignment gauge extends along the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The club face defines a closed face angle about the longitudinal axis of the shaft with respect to the address alignment gauge that is between about 20 degrees and about 40 degrees. A lie angle between the shaft and ground surface is between about 55 and 75 degrees.

A golf training club comprising:
- a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, the shaft defining a longitudinal axis;
- a club head coupled to the distal end, the club head having a sole, a club face, and an upper surface;
- and
- an address alignment gauge extending along the longitudinal axis of the shaft,
- wherein the club face defines a closed face angle about the longitudinal axis of the shaft with respect to the address alignment gauge that is between about 20 degrees and about 40 degrees, and
- wherein a lie angle between the shaft and ground surface is between about 55 and 75 degrees.
A golf training club, comprising:
- a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, the shaft defining a longitudinal axis;
- a club head coupled to the distal end, the club head having a club face and an upper surface;
- an address alignment gauge extending along the longitudinal axis of the shaft;
- and
- an impact alignment gauge extending the upper surface of the club head,
- wherein the impact alignment gauge defines a closed face angle about the longitudinal axis of the shaft with respect to the address alignment gauge that is between about 20 degrees and about 40 degrees.
A golf training method, comprising:
- providing a golf training club having:
- a shaft defining proximal and distal ends,
- a club head coupled to the distal end of the shaft,
- an address alignment gauge extending along a longitudinal axis of the shaft, and
- an impact alignment gauge extending along an upper surface of the club head,
- addressing a golf ball with the golf training club, with the address alignment gauge pointing perpendicular to the intended trajectory of the golf ball;
- and
- impacting the golf ball with the golf training club, with the impact alignment gauge pointing perpendicular to the intended trajectory of the golf ball.
