Systems and methods for improving golf swing

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/001,402, filed Oct. 31, 2007, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

This invention relates to the field of sporting devices and, in particular, to systems and methods for improving a golf swing.

Golfing is a difficult sport requiring many different skills. One such skill is proper putting skills. The putting stroke is only one of several types of golf swings, yet it accounts for nearly half of all swings made during regulation play. Proper putting skills include maintaining a proper upperbody position, watching the ball during the stroke, swinging the putter along a straight line throughout the putting stroke, keeping the face of the putter square during the stroke and striking the ball solidly with the proper pace.

Golfers often take lessons or purchase training aids to improve their golf game. Many golfers, however, cannot afford to have extensive golf lessons. In addition, the training aids do not provide the valuable feedback that a lesson may provide.
