Abstract
A golf training device is shown. The golf training device includes means for attaching the invention to a golf tee, while allowing a golf ball to rest on the tee. The golf training device includes a sighting mechanism to allow the user to align the invention with a target some distance away. The device also has extensions, such that when a golf ball is struck, the extensions are struck. Examination of the extensions after the invention has been struck gives a golfer feedback concerning the location and angle of his or her club face at the moment of impact with the ball.
Claims18
A golf training device comprising:
- means for attaching said device to a golf tee, said attachment means configured such that a golf ball may rest on the tee while the tee is attached to the golf training device;
- a sighting mechanism for aligning a golf shot;
- and
- a feedback mechanism comprising a plurality of outwardly projecting extensions configured such that when the golf training device is struck by a golf club, the angle and location of club impact on the golf training device can be discerned.
A golf training device comprising:
- means for attaching said device to a golf tee, said means having a substantially circular opening disposed within said device configured such that the shaft of a golf tee may pass through said opening and a golf ball may rest on the tee while the tee is positioned in said opening;
- a sighting mechanism comprising an outward projection for aligning a golf shot;
- and
- feedback means comprising a plurality of outwardly projecting extensions such that when a golf ball resting on a tee attached to the golf training device is struck by a golf club, said extensions are also struck leaving deformations indicating the angle and location of golf club impact on the golf training device.
A golf training device comprising:
- a planar piece of compliant material having uniform thickness and a generally triangular shape;
- means for attaching said device to a golf tee, comprising a substantially circular opening disposed within said device with a diameter larger than the diameter of the shaft of a golf tee, but equal to or smaller than the diameter of the cup of a golf tee, said opening having its center positioned on a longitudinal axis, said attachment means configured such that a golf ball may rest on the tee while the tee is positioned in said opening;
- a sighting mechanism having an outwardly projecting indicator with an end portion positioned on said longitudinal axis and configured to facilitate aligning said golf device with a target some distance away;
- and
- a feedback mechanism having a plurality of outwardly projecting prongs with ends aligned normally to said longitudinal axis such that when a golf ball resting on a tee attached to the golf training device is struck by a golf club, said prongs are also struck indicating the angle and location of impact of the club on the golf training device.
