Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
[0001] The present invention relates to a golfing aid, in particular a golf training aid for promoting a correct swing path and alignment, both when hitting golf balls with irons and woods and putting with a putter, and a golf training system. [0002] Very many golfing aids and golf training systems have been developed which promote a good swing path and provide for alignment, but these aids and systems tend to be cumbersome and expensive. [0003] One example is disclosed in US-A-2006/0019763, which discloses a golf training system for teaching correct alignment and stance to a golfer. This golf training system is relatively complex in being foldable and utilizing sliding mechanisms for positioning the respective members of the system in dependence upon the required use. Also, differently from the present invention, the golf training system does not provide members for promoting a desired swing path, but is concerned only with alignment and positioning of the feet of the user. [0004] It is an aim of the present invention to provide a golfing aid, in particular a golf training aid for promoting a correct swing path and alignment, which is of simple construction, and a golf training system. [0005] In one aspect the present invention provides a golf training system, comprising a plurality of separate elongate members, each including a plurality of interconnected elements having a configuration representative of a succession of golf balls, wherein at least one of the elongate members comprises a curved member as a swing path alignment aid. [0006] In one embodiment the elements of the at least one curved member each have successive angular rotations of about 1 degree. [0007] In one embodiment the system comprises a plurality of curved members as swing path alignment aids. [0008] In one embodiment the system comprises at least one linear member as a stance positioning aid. [0009] In one embodiment the system comprises a plurality of linear members as stance positioning aids. [0010] In one embodiment the system comprises at least one linear member as a putting swing path alignment aid. [0011] In one embodiment the linear member has a flat upper surface and includes a recess therein for retaining a golf ball to be putted, such as to allow a golf ball to be putted therealong. [0012] In one embodiment the system comprises a plurality of linear members as putting swing path alignment aids, wherein the linear members each have flat upper surfaces such as to be locatable adjacent one another to provide a flat linear track, and one of the linear members includes a recess therein for retaining a golf ball to be putted, such as to allow the golf ball to be putted therefrom along the track. [0013] In one embodiment the elements comprise substantially circular elements. [0014] In one embodiment adjacent ones of the elements merge into one another, such as to represent a continuous flow of golf balls. [0015] In one embodiment the elongate members each have a thickness of at most about 5 mm. [0016] In one embodiment the elongate members are each integrally formed. [0017] In another aspect the present invention provides a method of training a golfer, comprising the steps of: arranging a plurality of separate elongate members, each including a plurality of interconnected elements having a configuration representative of a succession of golf balls, in a desired configuration, including at least one curved member as a swing path alignment aid; and the golfer swinging a golf club and using the curved member as a swing path alignment aid. [0018] In one embodiment, in the arranging step, a plurality of curved members are arranged as swing path alignment aids. [0019] In one embodiment, in the arranging step, at least one linear member is arranged as a stance positioning aid. [0020] In one embodiment, in the arranging step, a plurality of linear members are arranged as stance positioning aids. [0021] In a further aspect the present invention provides a golf swing path alignment aid, comprising a curved elongate member including a plurality of interconnected elements, wherein the elements have a configuration representative of a succession of golf balls. [0022] In one embodiment the elements of the curved member each have successive angular rotations of about 1 degree. [0023] In one embodiment the elements comprise substantially circular elements. [0024] In one embodiment adjacent ones of the elements merge into one another, such as to represent a continuous flow of golf balls. Continue reading...
