ABSTRACT:
A golf putting vertical alignment and training aid comprising a reflective material (22) adapted to be positioned remote from a golf ball, a golf putter club, and a golfer standing in a putting position, and comprising an elongated material (30) adapted to be positioned overtop of a target line in a manner such that when viewed from above, the elongated material's longitudinal axis appears to be parallel to the target line (68), the target line being defined by the path that a golfer would like a golf ball to follow, and the elongated material being of a minimum length that extends from the golf ball to the reflective material, and the putting aid comprising a suspending means for positioning the elongated material above the reflecting surface of the reflective material, in a manner such that a reflection (60) of a portion of the elongated material can be seen within the reflecting surface. A golfer can utilize the reflection of the elongated material to position the golfer's eyes substantially vertically overtop of the elongated material. This in turn will assist the golfer in determining a point on the putting surface that is directly below the elongated material. Since the elongated material is set up such that it represents a reference target line from the golf ball to the cup, this invention essentially aids the golfer in positioning his or her eyes substantially vertically overtop of the target line and the golf ball. This can be used to aid the golfer in developing a putting stroke that follows the target line and correctly strikes the ball.
