Abstract

A golf training aid assembly comprising a base plate with a U-shaped recess, a vertical leg with hinges at both ends, and an L-shaped top shield. The base and top hinges use pins and flexible clips or knuckles that snap into place for secure attachment. The vertical leg features anchor holes for golf tees and a recess to house the base plate and top shield flush with its surface. The top shield includes a reference mark aligned with the base's U-shaped recess to aid alignment. The assembly may include embedded sensors in the leg and attachable sensors for golf clubs to measure face angle and provide real-time feedback via tones or a mobile app. Components are designed to be replaceable and reversible, and the device can be made from plastic, metal, or wood using 3D printing, injection molding, or laser cutting.

Dependent claims

A golf training aid assembly comprising:

(a) a vertical leg comprising
(i) a base hinge at a base end,
(ii) a top hinge at a top end that is opposite the base end, and
(iii) a height that extends along a vertical axis from the base end to the top end;
(b) a base plate coupled to the vertical leg by the base hinge, wherein
(i) the base plate comprises a first hinged end proximate to the base hinge, a first free end opposite the first hinged end, a first base edge that extends from the first hinged end to the first free end, and a second base edge that extends from the first hinged end to the first free end,
(ii) the first base edge comprises a ball-catch recess,
(iii) the base plate is moveable about the base hinge from a stowed position to a deployed working position,
(iv) when the base plate is in the deployed working position, the base plate extends away from the vertical leg along a first axis perpendicular to the vertical axis,
(v) when the base plate is in the stowed position, the base plate is proximate to the vertical leg and extends in a direction along the vertical axis;
and
(c) a planar top shield coupled to the vertical leg by the top hinge, wherein
(i) the top shield comprises (A) a second hinged end proximate to the top hinge, (B) a second free end opposite the second hinged end, (C) a first top shield edge that extends from the second hinged end to the second free end, (D) a second top shield edge that extends from the second hinged end to the second free end, (E) a top outer surface, and (F) a bottom surface,
(ii) the top shield is moveable about the top hinge from a stowed position to a deployed working position,
(iii) when the top shield is in the deployed working position, the top shield extends away from the vertical leg along a first axis perpendicular to the vertical axis, and
(iv) when the top shield is in the stowed position, the top shield is proximate to the vertical leg and extends in a direction along the vertical axis.

A golf training aid assembly comprising:

(a) a vertical leg comprising a bottom end, a top end, and a height that extends along a first axis from the base end to the top end;
(b) a base plate coupled to the vertical leg at the bottom end, wherein
(i) the base plate comprises a first fixed end proximate to the vertical leg bottom end and a first free end opposite the first fixed end, and
(ii) the base plate extends outward from the vertical leg along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis;
a top outer surface, and
(c) a planar top shield coupled to the vertical leg at the top end, wherein
(i) the top shield comprises a second fixed end proximate to the vertical leg top end, a second free end opposite the second fixed end, and a sight line disposed on the top outer surface,
(ii) the top shield extends outward from the vertical leg along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis;
a top outer surface, and
(iii) the sight line extends along the top shield outer surface along a third axis perpendicular to the first axis and the second axis.
