Abstract

A golf swing learning and practice device utilizing a laser light beam to produce a continuous, highly visible light line on floor or wall. The device enables a golfer to visually monitor and correct his golf swing.

Claims

1. A golf club swing training system comprising:

a laser and lens light source capable of projecting a continuous highly visible light line onto a flat surface.

a laser lens housing assembly capable of directing a highly visible light line on a flat surface at various angles.

a method of teaching and learning proper swing technique via accurate visual feedback from a laser lens generated light line and light reflection.

2. The golf swing training system of claim 1 where a housing assembly can project a laser light beam down to a flat surface from an elevated position.

3. The golf swing training system of claim 1 wherein a housing, which incorporates a laser lens combination, lens, switch and power supply can be positioned to direct a laser light beam in various directions.

4. The golf swing training system of claim 1 wherein a base that supports a housing assembly can index the position of the housing assembly and direction of a laser light beam.

5. The golf swing training system of claim 1 wherein a housing assembly that can project a laser light beam onto a flat surface such as a floor and when intersecting a vertical wall can continue as a straight light beam up the wall at a prescribed angle.

6. The golf swing training system of claim 1 wherein movement of a light line reflecting on a golf putter face during the putting stroke provides visual feedback defining the path of the putter head relative to a visual light line leading to a putting cup.

7. The golf swing training system of claim 1 wherein a visible light line reflects upon a golf ball and remains visible on the golf ball as long as the struck ball remains on visible light line directed to a specific target.

8. The golf swing training system of claim 1 wherein a light reflecting target is attached to the putter head face to provide visual feedback defining the path of the putter head relative to a visual light line leading to a putting cup.
