Definitions

  • Applicant's invention relates to a device for aiding a person in making a proper golf club swing and utilizes the swinging motion of the club to actuate motion-producing means at the upper end of a standard to actuate motion control means at the club through motion-transmitting means between the motion-producing means and the motion control means whereby the club is caused to swing with the head of the club moved in a desired are. If the club is not swung perfectly, resistance in the parts of the device is met while with the proper swing little or no resistance is met in the mechanism as the club swing is made.
  • the user can feel the full swing plane and by repeated use a correct swing is encouraged through muscle memory.
  • the device promotes a one piece take away, that is both arms and club are brought back into the back swing together.
  • the device also promotes a correct full swing arc and encourages weight transfer from one foot to the other foot.
  • the device further encourages full arm extension in the follow through swing and a full high swing finish.
  • the use of the device retains the feel" provided by the same and is able to duplicate the full swing arc with a minimal of practice with the device.

  • a clamp 150 for attachment to the shaft 31 of the golf club 30.
  • This clamp has two clamping jaws 152 and 154. These jaws have coacting grooves 156 which are lined with a resilient material and receive the shaft 31 of the club therebetween in clamping engagement.
  • the numeral 158 designates a bolt which passes through the two jaws 152 and 154 and has a wing nut 162 screwed on the same, and which mounts the clamp 150 rigidly on the club shaft.
  • the jaw 152 has a bore 164 through it which is parallel to the groove 156 therein and which receives the rod 112 and supports the clamp 150 for rotative swinging motion relative thereto, particularly Fig. 10.
  • a sleeve 166 encircles the lower portion of the rod 112 which together with the attachment 116 holds the clamp 150 from axial movement on said rod 112.
  • a counterbalance 170 is employed which is shown in detail in Fig. 9.
  • the numeral 172 designates a cap which, is secured to the end 27 of the axle 26 by means of a set screw 174.
  • a helical coil spring 176 encircles the end 27 of said axle and is partly received in the cap 172.
  • One end 178 of this spring has a portion 182 which extends tangentially outwardly therefrom. The extreme end of said portion is bent to form a finger 184 which extends parallel to the axis of the axle 26 and overlies the spoke 58 issuing from the hub 28.
  • the other end 186 of this spring is bent outwardly in parallelism with the axis of axle 27 and extends through an opening 188 in the end wall 189 of cap 172.
  • a mirror 190 is employed which is mounted on brackets 192 attached to the upright 18 by means of cap screws 194.

  • the bolt and wind nut allow for adjustment of the mirror.
  • the parts are resiliently urged together permitting the mirror to be manually adjusted and when adjusted remains in adjusted position.
  • M-shape spring keys are employed to restrain axial movement between the parts.
  • the method of using the invention is as follows.
  • the clamp 150 is attached to the shaft 31 of club 30 directly below the wrapping 37 as shown in Fig. l with the club head 33 resting on a mat 38 on which a ball 39 may be placed.
  • the mat 38 is supported on the rigid flat member 39.
  • the clamp 150 is v tightened upon the club.
  • the extension 18 is now adjusted as to height and clamp 134 is adjustably clamped upon tube 72 so that the head 33 of the club rests on the mat and the golfer is in a suitable and comfortable position.
  • the golfer now swings the club back to the top of the back swing position shown in Fig. 2, then through the address position shown in Fig. 1, and thence to the follow through position shown in Fig. 3. If the operator meets with opposition in the swinging of the club, he is swinging improperly and must adjust his swing until the club passes freely throughout the swing indicated by the are S in Fig. l and no extra resistance is felt.
  • the same operates as follows. With the club secured in the device as shown in particular in Fig. 1 and the operator assuming the address position of Fig. 1, the club is started into the back swing. As the club is started into the back swing the hub 28 is caused to rotate on the axle 26 in a clockwise direction looking at Fig. 8 which movement rotates the crossbar 44 about the axis of the axle while at the same time the main arm 42 pivots on pivot means 48 simultaneously with a pivoted movement on stud 29 through crossarm 44. With these movements the crossarm 44 pivots on the stud 29 in the direction of the arrow at the lower right area of Fig. 4. Simultaneously the link 52 pivots at 54 on the outer end of arm 42 and pivots at 56 on spoke 58.
  • the clamp pivots on the short rod 112 in a direction opposite to such a pivot in the aforementioned movement of the club to the back swing position.
  • the slider has returned to the initial position of Figs. 1 and 4.
  • the movements described from address position to the follow through position are reversed.
  • the club guide is automatic and when once adjusted to the individual, teaches the golfer to swing a club in the proper arc and procure a straight shot of greater yardage than before having practiced with the club guide.
  • the club guide can be used with any of the clubs, wood or iron, by proper adjustment of the extension 18 within the upright 16. With a shorter club, such as an iron, the extension 18 is lowered in the upright 16 and is moved according to marks 200 which indicate settings for different length clubs.
  • the extension 18 is adjustably secured in position by means of the wing bolt 202 extended through a hole in the standard 16 and a slot 204 in the extension where it threadedly engages a block 206 internally of 18.
  • the club guide is adjustable to accommodate tall or short golfers or with golfers having different lengths of arms and clubs. The golfer by looking in the mirror can view his actions and see how he is swinging the club as well as feeling the swing.
