ABSTRACT:
The Golfer's Teaching Aid is a simulated golf club which teaches and provides the user with instant visual indication of proper and improper positions of the club throughout the swing, from address, backswing, downswing and follow-through. An error in any club position is easily visually ascertained and corrected. The Aid utilizes a square shaft and a pyramidal shaped indicator above the club's grip and which are in axial alignment with each other such that the sides of each are in complimentary alignment with each other. The sides are orientated such that when the user is addressing a golf ball, the user sees only one side of the shaft and one side of the indicator if and only if the Aid is in the correct position and attitude. Additionally, the indicator will point toward the user's middle torso if the Aid is again in the correct position. Any deviation from the above is an instant visual indication to the user of a flaw in the stance, grip and/or arm position. The indicator is also within the user's peripheral vision when the club is at the top of the backswing and follow through. This allows the user to visually know if the club is at the correct position, attitude and rotation. Highly visible and contrasting colors on the sides of the shaft and indicator visually aid the user in determining proper and improper club position. An alignment pointer on the club face extends perpendicularly outward therefrom, indicating the golf ball line-of-flight. A correctly positioned pointer allows the user to experience and learn proper arm, feet, and hand positions.
