- This invention relates to golf practice aids, and, more particularly, to practice aids for indicating to a golfer where, on the face of a golf club, impact was made with a golf ball during a golf club swing.
- Another object of the present invention is to afford a novel golf practice aid for indicating to a golfer where, on the face of a golf club, impact was made with a golf ball during a golf club swing.
- the position on the face of a golf club at which impact is made with a golf ball during golf swing is a substantial factor in determining the quality of the shot" made by the golfer during that particular swing.
- a golf ball is struck at the socalled sweet spot on the face of the club, which is that portion of the face which is intended to, and should contact the ball, a flight of the greatest length and of the proper trajectory normally is imparted to the ball. Variation from this proper point of impact changes the results obtained, one of the most frequent changes being loss of distance in the flight of the ball.
- golfers strive to strike the ball at the proper place on the face of the golf club being swung.
- golf practice aids heretofore known in the art for indicating the point of impact between the head of a golf club and a golf ball commonly have had several inherent disadvantages, such as, for example, changing the weight or balance of the golf club; being difficult to see or interpret; not being capable of effective repeated use; requiring an attachment to be secured to the golf club during the golf swing; being complicated in construction or operation; or being difficult or expensive to manufacture, and the like. It is another important object of the present invention to overcome such disadvantages.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel golf practice aid which, when used, will afford the golfer an accurate, readily interpreted indication of the position on the face of the golf club at which impact was made with the ball during a golf swing.
- Another object of the present invention is to afford a novel golf practice aid of the aforementioned type, which may be repeatedly used.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to afford a novel and practical golf practice aid which may be secured to a golf ball in position to mark the place on the ball where it is desired to strike the ball with the club during a golf swing, and which, when the ball is struck, will transfer from the ball to the place on the face of the club at which impact was made with the ball to thereby afford a readily visible identification of the exact position on the golf club face at which such impact was made.
- a further object of the present invention is to afford a novel golf practice aid of the aforementioned type which may be used with standard golf balls of the type normally used in the actual playing of a game of golf.
- Another object of the present invention is to afford a novel golf practice aid of the aforementioned type, which, after it has been used, may be quickly and easily removed from the golf club and disposed in operative position on the next golf ball to be struck, for again transferring to the face of the club upon impact of the latter with the ball.
- Another object of the present invention is to enable a novel golf practice aid of the aforementioned type to be afforded which is relatively small and compact in size.
- Another object is to afford a novel golf practice aid of the aforementioned type which may be readily carried by a golfer.
- a further object of the present invention is to afford a novel golf practice aid of the aforementioned type which may be packaged in a novel an expeditious manner for commercial distribution.
- Another object of the present invention is to afford a novel golf practice aid of the aforementioned type which is practical and efficient in operation, and which may be readily and economically produced commercially.
- FIG. .1 is a top plan view of a golf practice aid embodying the principles of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken substantially along the line 22 in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of a golf ball, showing the golf practice aid, shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, mounted in operative position thereon;
- FIG. 4 is a front perspective view of the head of a golf club, showing the golf practice aid, shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, disposed in operative position on the front face thereof;
- FIG. 5 is a top plan view of a plurality of golf practice aids, of the type shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, mounted on a common carrier;
- FIG. 6 is an enlarged detail sectional view taken substantially along the line 6-6 in FIG. 5.
- a golf practice aid 1, embodying the principles of the present invention is shown in the drawings to illustrate the presently preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the golf practice aid 1 embodies an indicator member in the form of a flat disc 2, having adhesive coatings 3 and 4 disposed on the opposite faces and 6 thereof, respectively, FIG. 2.
- the disc 2 may be made of any suitable material, but preferably is made of a suitable flat sheet material such as, for example, paper, a suitable plastic or a suitable metal, such as, for example, aluminum.
- the adhesive coatings 3 and 4 may be made of any suitable adhesive, but, preferably, are made from suitable pressure sensitive adhesives, which are capable of being removed and reapplied, such adhesives being well known and readily available on the market.
- the coating 4 has an affinity for adhering to the face of a golf club which is greater than the affinity of the coating 3 foradhering to the face of a golf ball, for a purpose which will be discussed in greater detail presently.
- the coating 3 may be made of an adhesive having a light tackiness
- the coating 4 may be made of an adhesive having a medium tackiness.
- the disc 2 embodies a round body portion 7 from one side of which projects an elongated tab 8.
- the coatings 3 and 4 are confined to the body portion 7 and, preferably, entirely cover the sides 5 and 6 thereof, respectively.
- the golf practice aid 1 may be mounted on the outer surface of a golf ball, such as the ball 9 shown in FIG. 3, by adhering the golf practice aid 1 to the ball 9 by the adhesive coating 3. This may be readily accomplished by merely pressing the adhesive coating 3 into firm engagement'with the outer surface of the ball 9 by the pressure ofa thumb, or the like, applied against the opposite side of the golf practice aid 1.
- the ball 9 may be placed on a tee or on the ground, with the golf practice aid 1 centered on that portion of the ball 9 against which it is desired that the golf club will make contact during a golf swing. Normally, of course, this will be the center'of the face of the ball, facing directly rearwardly to the intended horizontal direction of travel of the ball.
- the golf practice aid 1 may be of any suitable size, but, preferably, is of such a size that it is readily visible on the ball to a golfer addressing the latter, but is sufficiently small that when the ball is properly struck with a golf club, during a golf swing, the entire body portion 7 is struck by the face of the club.
- the body portion 7 be round in shape and that it have a diameter of not substantially less than five-sixteenths inch and not substantially more than nine-sixteenths inch, and preferably, seven-sixteenths inch.
- the tab 8 have a length of not substantially less than two thirty-seconds inch and not substantially more than five thirty-seconds inch, and, preferably, three thirtyseconds inch; and a width of not substantially less than one-sixteenth inch and not substantially more than three-sixteenths inch, and, preferably, one-eighth inch.
- the aforementioned shapes and sizes are set forth herein merely by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, and other shapes and sizes of golf practice aids may be used, without departing from the purview of the broader aspects of the present invention.
- the golf practice aid 1 With the golf practice aid 1 thus positioned on the ball 9, and with the ball 9 disposed in the aforementioned proper position to be struck by a golf club, such as the golf club 10 shown in FIG. 4, when the ball 9 is struck by the golf club, the face 11 of the head 12 thereof strikes against the outwardly facing coating 4 on the golf practice aid 1, thereby causing the golf practice aid 1 to adhere to the face of the golf club, FIG. 4, and thus be removed from the ball 9, which is free to move away from the club 10.
- a golf club such as the golf club 10 shown in FIG. 4
- this transfer of the golf practice aid 1 to the face 11 of the head 12 of the golf club 10 affords an effective, accurate and readily visible indication to the golfer of the point of impact of the club 10 with the ball 9, which has just been struck and knocked away.
- This procedure of stripping the golf practice aid 1 from the club and reapplying it to the next golf ball to be struck normally may be repeated several times before the necessary adhesiveness of the coatings 3 and 4 are lost, at which time a new golf practice aid 1 may be substituted. It has been found that golf practice aids embodying the principles of the present invention commonly may thus be re-used, effectively, twenty, and more, times.
- the adhesive coatings 3 and 4 are covered and protected by readily removable sheets, such as the sheets 13 and 14, respectively, FIG. 6.
- the sheets 13 and 14 may be made of any suitable material such as, for example, cellophane or paper treated with a suitable release agent so that the body portion 2 and the coatings 3 and 4 may be readily stripped from the sheets 13 and 14.
- the sheet 14 is in the form of a bottom sheet or carrier, which is of substantially greater size than the disc 2 so that several golf practice aids I, having a common bottom sheet 14 may be packaged and carried together, as shown in FIG. 5.
- the sheet 13 is in the form of a top sheet or cover, which is of the same size as the disc 2, having a body portion 15, which is of the same size as the body portion 7, disposed in aligned, covering relation to the body portion 7; and an elongated tab 16, which is of the same size and shape as the tab 8, disposed in parallel overlying relation to the latter.
- the sheet 13 may be quickly and easily removed from the disc 2 by grasping the tab 16 and pulling thereon to thereby strip the sheet 13 from the adhesive coating 3; and the disc 2 may be quickly and easily removed from the sheet 14 by grasping the tab 8 and stripping the coating 4 from the sheet 14.
- the respective sides of the golf practice aid 1 may be of two different colors, such as, for example, by suitably coloring the adhesive coatings 3 and 4, so that the coating to be applied to the ball 9 may be readily identified so as to aid in insuring that the golfer will properly apply the golf practice aid 1 to the ball, with the proper adhesive coating 4 facing outwardly, for effecting transfer of the golf practice aid 1 from the ball 9 to the golf club 10 during a golf swing.
- the present invention affords a novel golf practice aid for effectively indicating the point of impact of a golf ball on the face of a golf club.
- the present invention affords a novel golf practice aid of the aforementioned type which may be readily used and which does not affect the weight or balance of the golf club being swung.
- the present invention affords a novel golf practice aid of the aforementioned type which is practical and efficient in use and operation, and which may be readily and economically produced commercially.
