Abstract:
1. A golf club swinging guide for a golf club having a shaft with a grip and a head with a striking face, said guide comprising: a housing having a laterally extending elongated stationary member defining a longitudinal intended line of flight, said housing being attachable to the golf club shaft just above the head of the golf club, said stationary member further including a visual alignment portion which, when aligned perpendicular to the striking face, corresponds to the intended line of flight; an elongated movable generally planar wind vane connected for free rotation to said housing about an axis of rotation which is generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the golf club shaft when said housing is attached to the shaft; said wind vane generally orthogonally extending from said housing in a direction generally opposite to that of said stationary member, said wind vane being freely movably responsive to movement of air flowing therepast during each swing of the golf club to visually align itself about said axis of rotation in the direction of the swing of the golf club; an electronic circuit within said housing producing a sensorially perceivable signal relative to alignment or misalignment between said stationary member and said wind vane at the moment of impact of the golf club head with a golf ball.
