ABSTRACT:
A device for teaching correct putting that can be attached to the shaft of a putter. A mirror is pivotally attached to an arm which extends behind and is parallel to the face of the putter such that the center of gravity for the mirror is between the pivot point and the face of the putter. The mirror is oriented at such an angle that a golf ball and a target cup can be viewed simultaneously by a golfer using a putter to which the device has been attached. Rotation of the mirror caused by the relative position of the pivot point and the center of gravity for the mirror will, under the influence of gravity, maintain this desired visual image in the mirror throughout the putting stroke. A straight line is placed on the reflecting surface of said mirror in such an orientation that the plane which contains the visible line and which is perpendicular to the reflecting surface of said mirror is perpendicular to the face of the putter and aligned with the desired point of impact on the face of the putter. By aligning the straight line in the middle of both the golf ball and the target cup, a golfer using the device will be assured that the face of the putter is perpendicular to the imaginary line running between the golf ball and the target cup; and maintaining such alignment throughout the stroke of the putter, a golfer using the device will be certain that the golfer's stroke is directly toward the target cup.
