Definitions

  • This invention relates to a putting aid for golfers.
  • the success or failure of a golfer is most often determined by his ability to putt the golf ball into the hole.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,130,282 discloses a pair of attach- ments which may be alternatively fitted to a putter with a specially designed head.
  • the first attachment is provided with a pair of spaced elements which are positioned on the striking face of the putter to restrict the effective hitting area around the centre of percussion of the putter.
  • the second attachment leaves the striking face unobstructed for normal play. While such aids do assist golfers, they are not directed to actually improving the putting stroke and so a golfer may increase ' the accuracy of his putting, e.g. over a flat floor but in doing so, make adjust ⁇ ments to his putting stroke which when employed on the actual green make his putting stroke worse than before.
  • the present invention resides in a putting aid for golfers including: a pair of substantially parallel guide members interconnected by connecting means adjacent each end of the guide .member; and a loop portion, open at its bottom, substant ⁇ ially central of one of the connecting means, so arranged that: the head of a golf putter is adapted to be . received between, and guided by, the guide member; and a golf ball, when struck correctly by the putter head, will pass through the loop portion.
  • each guide member has an inclined (or vertical) guide face adapted to be engaged by the head of the putter to guide the putter during the putting stroke.
  • the height of t the guide member is selected so that the putter head will not clear the guide members during a correct backswing for the putting stroke.
  • Integral spikes may be provided on the underside of the guide members and/or connecting means to enable the aid to be secured to a carpet or other practice surface.
  • four golf tees or "Velcro" (trade mark) stripping may be used to secure the aid to the putting green.
  • the aid is injection moulded, from a suitable plastics material, in a four- piece construction, and may incorporate reinforc ⁇ ing gussets.
  • the connecting means incorporate lugs which engage in sockets in the ends of the guide members.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the putting aid
  • FIG. 2 is an end view showing the aid in use.
  • the putting aid 10 injection moulded from a clear plastics material
  • the putting aid 10 has a pair of substantially parallel guide members 11 interconnected at their ends by connecting straps 12, 13 (provided with lugs 12a which engage in sockets 11a in the ends of the guide members 11).
  • a loop portion 14, open at its bottom, is provided centrally of the connecting strap 12 and has a height and width sufficient to allow a golf ball 15 to pass clearly through it when struck correctly by the head 16 of a putter 17, but to deflect, and prevent the escape of the ball when it is incorrectly struck.
  • Each guide member 11 has a downwardly inwardly inner guide face 18 and a down ⁇ wardly outwardly inclined outer face 19. Integral spikes 20 are provided on the underside of the guide members 11 and/or the connecting straps 12, 13 to enable the aid to be secured to a piece of carpet being used as a putting surface.
  • the putting aid is positioned on the carpet and secured by the spikes 20.
  • Flour golf tees may be used to position and secure the aid on a grass practice green or "Velcro" (trade mark) stripping may be used to secure the aid on the carpet.
  • the player places the putter head 16 between the guide members 11 and brings the heel 21 of the putter head adjacent to, or against, the guide face 18 of the adjacent guide member 11. The putter is now ready. A ball 15 is placed against the face of the putter head equally spaced from the guide members. *
  • the player commences his backswing and then swings through on the putting stroke.
  • the putter head 16 will clear the guide member and so on the downswing, the putter will not be guided by the adjacent guide face 18. This indicates to the player that his backswing is too high.
  • the aid may be used by both right - and left- handed players.

Abstract

Un dispositif permettant de pratiquer le coup roulé (10) pour des joueurs de golf possède une paire d'organes parallèles de guidage (11) reliés entre eux par des bandes de connexion (12, 13). Une portion de boucles (14) ouverte à sa partie inférieure est formée au centre de l'une des bandes de connexion (12). La portion de boucle (14) est dimensionnée pour permettre à une balle de golf (15), correctement frappée par la tête (16) d'un poteur guidée par les organes de guidage (11) de passer au travers de la partie en forme de boucle (14). Des tenons (12a) prévus sur les bandes de connexion (12, 13) sont engagés de manière libérable dans les socles (11a) aux extrémités des organes de guidage (11). La hauteur des organes de guidage (11) est sélectionnée pour entraîner le joueur de golf à limiter la hauteur de son mouvement balancé vers l'arrière en maintenant la tête (16) du poteur entre les organes de guidage (11).
