ABSTRACT:
A putter alignment system (10) is provided for use in aiding in practicing golf putting. The system (10) includes a putter component (12) mounted on a golf putter (12) and a remote target component (14) situated along the desired relative alignment axis (18) from the putter (20). Electronic components are utilized to determine relative alignment of the putter (20) to the target by analyzing an electromagnetic signal "beam" (16). A preferred embodiment includes an emitter (68) on the remote component (14) and a reflector (50) on the putter component (12) to created and delimit the beam (16). The position of the beam (16) is detected by photosensors (69) while signal output is provided by signal lights (75) corresponding to the relative alignment. An alternate preferred embodiment uses a focused beam source (6110) on the putter (20) to direct the beam along the putter axis (49). Alternate signal outputs allow analysis of a putting stroke as well as of static prealignment.
