ABSTRACT:
A mat-type device for improving a golfer's swing that has a ball placement portion in the form of a grid, and a golfer's stance portion such that the golfer, through practice, forms a mental image of the ball placement with regard to the stance when using various golf clubs. In the preferred embodiment, the columns of spaces in the grid of the ball placement portion are marked with indicia at the end, with the rows of spaces marked with different indicia to further impress a mental image for the golfer. The device is made useful for either right- or left-handed golfers by having a center line, with the indicia for the columns of spaces within the grid being repeated on each side of the center line so as to make a mirror image. Additional lines can be imprinted in the stance portion of give guidance to the placement of the golfer's feet in relationship to the placement of the ball when using clubs of different shaft length. With this device a golfer can experiment with the placement of the ball with regard to foot stance (and club length) to achieve desired ball trajectory when hit. Repeated use of the device with the ball at the preferred position for a given club forms a mental image the golfer can recall to memory when actually on a golf course.
