1. A putting swing trainer comprising a golf putter including an elongated shaft and a head having a ball striking face, an inertial sensor, means for attaching said sensor to said putter so that said inertial sensor is operative to provide an alarm control signal if axial rotation of said putter occurs around the longitudinal axis of the shaft of said putter;
- andan alarm operative to receive the alarm control signal from the inertial sensor and to provide a detectable output in response so that,the user is provided with an indication if axial rotation of the putter around said axis occurs during the swing thereof.

Abstract
A golf putting stroke trainer includes an inertial sensor responsive to axial rotation disposed in electrical communication with an alarm circuit. The trainer is positioned within a standard putting club and provides a user-detectable signal if, during a putting stroke, the putter is rotated around the longitudinal axis of the shaft of the putter.

14. A putting swing trainer comprising a golf putter including an elongated shaft, a head having a ball striking face, and an inertial sensor,
said sensor including a generally elongated arm having length thereof disposed in a plane parallel to the ball striking face of the putter, said arm supported on a pivot so that axial rotation of said putter around the longitudinal axis of said shaft while it is being swung will cause the relative rotation of the arm about said pivot; -
a detector associated with the sensor for indicating if said relative rotation of said arm about said pivot has occurred and for providing an alarm control signal in response thereto; and an alarm operative to receive the alarm control signal and to provide a detectable output in response so that, the user is provided with an indication if axial rotation of the putter occurs around the longitudinal axis of the shaft during the swing thereof.
