ABSTRACT:
A putting aid for use by golfers in improving putting strokes is releasably attachable to a golf clubhead and includes a parallelepiped housing for a ball and a plurality of angularly disposed pockets into which the ball rolls during a putting stroke. The pocket within which the ball comes to rest indicates whether the putter blade was held square with an intended line of putt during the stroke, or at an angle that causes the putt to be missed. The ball rolls into a wedge-shaped recess formed in a bottom wall of the housing. The recess has a pointed leading end that points toward the cup when the putting aid is properly attached to the putter, and a wide, arcuate trailing end within which the pockets are formed. The pockets are spaced so that a swing that is more than one degree off from a perfect swing is indicated by the ball rolling into a pocket positioned out of alignment with the pointed leading end of the recess. Properly executed strokes result in the ball rolling into the center pocket directly behind the pointed leading end. An embodiment including a mercury globule provides more detailed information.
