Definitions

  • GOLF TRAINING DEVICE THIS INVENTION relates to a golf training device suitable for correct alignment of a golfers swing.
  • the aforesaid device could be utilized for determining an optimum location of the ball relative to a golfers feet so that the ball position coincided with the bottom of his swing using the plurality of longitudinal apertures.
  • the device could also be used to enable a golfer to obtain an improved perception in regard to offset and angular relationships in regard to a target line coinciding with the longitudinal apertures.
  • a golfer could mentally co-ordinate an angle relative to a target line and a transverse stance line.
  • the ball could be placed on a tee located in a selected longitudinal aperture or simply on the selected longitudinal aperture and the first member moved relative to the second member to a predetermined angular displacement indicated by the graduated indicia.
  • the second member was fixed relative to a target line and a golfer could then develop a perception of fine angular relationships by driving the ball along a number of angular positions coincident with the longitudinal axis of the first member.
  • the aforesaid device could also be used to develop skills in controlled draw and fade shots as well as for correction of uncontrolled tendencies to draw or fade (ie. "look” or “slice") by keeping the first member fixed relative to a target line and moving the second member to a' predetermined angular relationship therewith.
  • the golf training device of the invention includes a mounting member which is fixed in use and a movable member rotatably mounted thereon.
  • the mounting member may have a longitudinal axis which may be defined by a plurality of slots or apertures.
  • the movable member is suitably a circular plate rotatably attached to the mounting member at a pivot point by pivot means suitably coinciding with the centre of the circular plate.
  • the circular plate may have identifying indicia suitably designating a target line and a transverse line designating a stance line.
  • Preferably surrounding the periphery of the circular plate is marked graduations identifying angular values between 0 degrees and 180 degrees or more suitably between 0 degrees and 360 degrees.
  • the centre of the circular plate may also have a tee aperture.
  • the circular plate has a target line bounded by arrowheads and a transverse stance line also bounded by arrowheads.
  • the mounting member is suitably elongate and may include a nose end portion in one side of the circular plate and a tail end portion on the other side thereof.
  • the nose end portion includes a single elongate slot although this could be replaced by a plurality of apertures if desired.
  • the tail end portion also includes a single elongate slot although this could also be replaced by a plurality of apertures if required. Both the nose slot and tail slot may coincide with the target line of the circular plate when the plate is in the neutral or zero position.
  • the pivot means between the circular plate and the mounting member may be of any suitable type such as a pin or lug of the plate engaging in a retaining aperture of the mounting member.
  • FIG 1 is a plan view of a golf training device constructed in accordance with the invention
  • FIG 2 is a view along line A-A of FIG 1 showing the mating member separated from the rotatable plate and both members in an aligned relationship; and
  • FIG 3 is detailed sectional view showing the inter-engagement between the mating member and the rotatable plate.
  • mounting plate 10 having a nose end 11 and tail end 12.
  • nose slot 13 and tail slot 14 as well as nose marking stripes 15 and tail marking stripes 16.
  • projections 17 including anchor apertures 18 for insertion therethrough by a spike (not shown) which may be embedded in the ground.
  • Circular plate 19 is shown surrounded by graduated indicia 20 marked off in intervals of.10 degrees.
  • the plate 19 has a stance line 20A designated by affixed arrowheads 21 and target line 22 designated by fixed arrowheads 23.
  • central pivot 24 having tee aperture 25.
  • the boss 31 engages with the underside of plate 19 and both boss 31 and web 35 together with socket 29 form a ring like cavity 33 for a snap ring 34 to releasably retain plate 19 on mounting plate 10.
  • the snap ring 34 which may be made from resilient material has a peripheral recess 36 for engagement with projection 37 of plate 19.
  • the plate 19 is freely rotatable within recess 26 and thus target line 22 may be rotated to any desired angle as well as stance line 20A.
  • a golfer may practice chip shots at an angle between a simulated line between golf tee and the pin of a green.
  • Slots 13 and 14 can accommodate tees at any desired position and a tee may be placed in aperture 25 for practice of angle shots.
  • one of the most difficult tasks in golf is to visually assess the angular relationship between the stance and the intended flight path of the ball.
  • the feet should be parallel to the target line and initially in use of the golf training device of the invention a golfer should practice so that he is standing parallel to his line of flight rather than to the ball itself.
  • a golfer may simulate angle to pin shots for chipping and pitching development close to the green. This may be done indoors using a plastic golf ball and a wedge club.
  • the golf training device of the invention is- extremely simple in construction as well as in operation compared to the aforesaid prior art device. This means that a novice golfer will readily appreciate how to use the golf taining device

Abstract

Le présent dispositif d'entraînement au golf comprend un organe de montage (10) qui est fixe en cours d'utilisation et possède un axe longitudinal défini par une pluralité de fentes ou ouvertures (13, 14). Une plaque circulaire (19) est fixée de manière rotative sur l'organe de montage (10) par des moyens de pivot (24) coïncidant avec le centre de la plaque circulaire (19). La plaque circulaire (19) possède des premiers indices d'identification (21, 23) désignant une ligne-cible (22) et l'organe de montage (10) comprend des graduations marquées (20). En utilisation, lorsque la plaque circulaire (19) tourne par rapport à l'organe de montage (10), la ligne-cible (22) prend une position angulaire en relation à l'axe longitudinal de l'organe de montage (10). Lorsque ceci est obtenu, l'angle des "chip shots" et des "pitch shots" peut être simulé.
