Abstract:
A golf swing training device for a golfer comprising:a shaft defining a longitudinal axis extending therethrough and having first and second ends with a hand grip on the first end and a head on the second end;a pair of lasers mounted in the head in a spaced relationship and oriented so as to emit a pair of parallel laser beams projecting in a direction away from the second end of said shaft so as to strike the ground during a golf swing, said beams being parallel to, spaced from opposed sides of, and lying in a common plane with an extension of said longitudinal axis of said shaft in said direction away from the second end of said shaft, and wherein said plane is coincident with a straight line extending between the points of intersection of said laser beams with the ground and oriented relative to the ground such that said straight line is perpendicular to a desired target line and representative of the orientation of a face of a golf club during a golf swing; andan electrical power source and circuit mounted in the device for selectively operating said pair of lasers for the golfer to practice golf swings by observing the alignment of said plane to the desired target line during at least a portion of the golf swing.
