Club aiming unit
First Claim
1. A club aiming unit for attachment to a club providing a means for enabling the orientation of the impact surface of the club head with respect to the target to be monitored during the swinging of the club, said club aiming unit comprisinga first light source producing a first planar beam of light having a narrow and substantially linear cross-section that projects a line of light onto a surface, andattachment means for mounting said first light source to said club such that said first beam is projected over the preferred impact point of said impact surface with the plane of said first beam perpendicular to said impact surface causing a line of light to be projected onto any surface immediately below said club head, said projected line of light providing a reference mark which can be viewed during the swing of the club.

Abstract
A club aiming unit for attachment to a club providing a means for enabling the orientation of the impact surface of a club head with respect to the target to be monitored during the swinging of a club. In particular, the invention is particularly useful in relation to croquet mallets or golf putters. The club aiming unit comprises a first light source producing a first planar beam of light having a narrow and substantially linear cross-section that projects a line of light onto a surface, and attachment means for mounting the first said light source to said club such that said first beam is projected over the preferred impact point of said impact surface with the plane of said first beam perpendicular to said impact surface, causing a line of light to be projected onto any surface immediately below the said club head. The projected line of light provides a reference mark which can be viewed during the swinging of the club, such that a person may concentrate their attention on the object being hit, while at the same time being able to see the movement of the projected line, thereby enabling the impact face of the club head to be maintained square to the target line. This provides a novel training means which enables a useful means of controlling the orientation of a club head during the swinging of the club.
