Abstract

A golf putting training method includes: gripping a golf putter training device, wherein the golf putter training device includes a shaft, and a hitting device connected to an end of the shaft, wherein the hitting device includes a tunnel, an opening at a front end of the tunnel for receiving a golf ball, a hitting surface at a rear end of the tunnel for hitting the golf ball, and two parallel sidewalls of the tunnel for defining a putting direction, wherein the shaft is at the front end of the tunnel; standing by the golf ball positioning on a ground and determining a target direction; putting the golf ball by the putting training device along the target direction, wherein the golf ball is hit by the hitting device, and determining if the golf ball is hit only by the hitting surface of the hitting device during a putting stroke, wherein the putting direction matches the target direction when the putting direction matches the target direction.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a method for golf playing, particularly to a method for golf putting training.

2. Description of the Prior Art

The conventional golf putting training needs a smooth and flat ground. Until the golf ball is putted in the smooth and flat ground, then we can know the putting direction is in the right direction according to the moving path of the golf ball.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A golf putting training method comprises: gripping a golf putter training device, wherein the golf putter training device comprises a shaft, and a hitting device connected to an end of the shaft, wherein the hitting device comprises a tunnel, an opening at a front end of the tunnel for receiving a golf ball, a hitting surface at a rear end of the tunnel for hitting the golf ball, and two parallel sidewalls of the tunnel for defining a putting direction, wherein the shaft is at the front end of the tunnel; standing by the golf ball positioning on a ground and determining a target direction; putting the golf ball by the putting training device along the target direction, wherein the golf ball is hit by the hitting device, and determining if the golf ball is hit only by the hitting surface of the hitting device during a putting stroke, wherein the putting direction matches the target direction when the putting direction matches the target direction.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The invention as well as a preferred mode of use and advantages thereof will be best understood by referring to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:

FIG. 1 illustrates the golf putting training device according to an embodiment of the invention;

FIG. 2 illustrates the hitting device according to an embodiment of the invention;

FIG. 3 illustrates the flow chart of the golf putting training according to an embodiment of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

To more clearly describe a thermal interface material coating method according to the present invention, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings hereinafter.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , a golf putting training device comprises a shaft 1, and a hitting device 2. The hitting device 2 comprises an opening 21 for receiving a golf ball, two parallel sidewalls 22 forming a tunnel 25, and a hitting surface 24 for hitting the golf ball. The shaft 1 and the opening 21 is at the front end of the tunnel 25, and the hitting surface 24 is at rear end of the tunnel 25. The hitting surface 24 is behind the shaft 1. The tunnel 25 defines the potting direction of the golf putting training device. The sidewalls 24 comprise arc shape bottoms 23.
Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 , a golf putting training method is provided. In step 31, a trainee grips a golf putting training device. In an embodiment, the golf putting training device is the same as the device mentioned above. In step 32, the trainee stands by the golf ball positioning on a ground and determines the target direction. In step 33, the trainee putts the golf ball along the target direction. The golf ball enters the tunnel 25 through the opening 21, and then is hit by the hitting surface 24 behind the shaft 1 of the golf putting training device. The tunnel 25 defines the putting direction for the putting stroke. In step 34, the trainee can determine whether the target direction matches the putting direction without the need to see the moving path of the golf ball when the golf ball moves away from the golf putting training device.
During the putting stroke, that is the duration from the golf ball enters to leaves the tunnel of the training device, if the golf ball is hit only by the hitting surface 24, it is determined the target direction matches the putting direction. If the golf ball hits any of the sidewalls 22 during the putting stroke, it is determined the target direction fails to match the putting direction.
In an embodiment, the trainee can determine whether the target direction matches the putting direction by vision regarding to the movement of the golf ball in the tunnel 25, because there is no cover over the tunnel 25.
In an embodiment, trainee can determine whether the target direction matches the putting direction by the number of vibration. If the golf ball hit the sidewalls 22 besides the hitting surface 24 during the putting stroke, the trainee can feel the vibrations more than once.

Claims

1. A golf putting training method, comprising:

gripping a golf putter training device, wherein the golf putter training device comprises a shaft, and a hitting device connected to an end of the shaft, wherein the hitting device comprises a tunnel, an opening at a front end of the tunnel for receiving a golf ball, a hitting surface at a rear end of the tunnel for hitting the golf ball, and two parallel sidewalls of the tunnel for defining a putting direction, wherein the shaft is at the front end of the tunnel and at a side of the tunnel, wherein each of the sidewalls comprises an arc shape bottom, wherein the arc shape bottom extends from the front end of the tunnel to the rear end of the tunnel;

standing by the golf ball positioning on a ground and determining a target direction;

putting the golf ball by the putting training device along the target direction, wherein the golf ball is hit by the hitting device, and

determining if the golf ball is hit only by the hitting surface of the hitting device during a putting stroke,
