Abstract

A magnetic golf putting training device (1) having an attachment device (10) with two arms (3a and 3b), a clamp (25) for removably attaching the attachment device (10) to a putter (2), magnets (11a and 11b) located on the arms (3a and 3b) and guiding magnets (12a and 12b). The arms (3a and 3b) are located on each end of the putter head (9) during use. The guiding magnets (12a and 12b) are positioned such that they are substantially perpendicular to the putter head (9) and such that the electromagnetic field of each guiding magnets (12a and 12b) is facing towards the like electromagnetic field of each magnet (11a and 11b) located on the arms (3a and 3b) so as to create a repelling force (28).

Claims23

Dependent claims

A magnetic golf putting training device comprising:

a golf putter having a putter head;
at least one attachment device having at least one arm;
at least one attachment means for removably attaching said at least one attachment device to said golf putter;
at least one magnet located on said at least one arm;
said at least one magnet having a first electromagnetic field and a second electromagnetic field;
and
at least one guiding magnet having a first magnetic field equal to said first electromagnetic field of said at least one magnet located on said at least one arm and a second electromagnetic field equal to said second electromagnetic field of said at least one magnet located on said at least one arm;
said at least one guiding magnet is substantially perpendicular to said putter head when positioned for use;
wherein when said at least one magnet on said at least one arm is positioned such that said first electromagnetic field is disposed towards said first magnetic field on said at least one guiding magnet a repelling force is created.

6 more elements

said second guiding magnet is substantially perpendicular to said putter head when positioned for use;
wherein when said first magnet on said first arm is positioned such that said first electromagnetic field is disposed towards said first magnetic field on said first guiding magnet so as to create a repelling force;
wherein when said second magnet on said second arm is positioned such that said first electromagnetic field is disposed towards said first magnetic field on said second guiding magnet so as to create a repelling force;
and
at least one designation for a hole located on said at least one substantially planar surface top surface.
