ABSTRACT:
Golfers need and desire to practice and perfect their golf swings, and proper alignment of the golfer's body and the arc that the head of club travels are critical in this regard. The golf swing alignment training device provided allows golfers of different height and body proportions, and using a variety of different golf clubs to practice and perfect their swing. The device comprises a stance rule changeably marked to indicate proper location of the golfer's feet as required using different clubs, a connecting shaft perpendicular to the stance rule that can be moved as needed for clubs of different length, a swing guide governing the direction of the golfer's swing and the shape of its arc, a club face orientation indicator that can be adjusted to indicate proper club face orientation for different shots, and a ball position indicator which properly locates the ball in relation to the device and the golfer's body. The device is of simple, rugged construction, easily adjustable as needed by golfers of different size and body proportion, and a single device can be used by right or left handed golfers, and even by children.
