Abstract

A golf-swing aid device, system and a method for using the same to assist a golfer in tracking at least one component of a golf-swing is described. The device includes at least one light emitting device, such as a laser, to provide a visual aid to a golfer. In some embodiments of the invention, one of the light emitting devices attaches to a wrist of the golfer. The visual aid emitted by the laser enables the golfer to detect rotation of his hands while performing the golf swing. In other embodiments, light emitting devices are securable to the head or golf cap and the waist section of the golfer enabling the golfer to detect movement during the golf swing. The system may include multiple light emitting devices for providing visual aids to the golfer to assist the golfer in tracking at least one component of his golf swing. A mat is described for use in conjunction with the devices.
