Patent ID: 7153217

Claim:
A method for training a user to properly swing a golf club to propel a golf ball along an intended path, comprising the steps of: providing a generally planar reflective panel having a plurality of markings fixed therein, including a horizontal line intersecting a vertical line and an outline of a person's body at an optimal position to strike a good golf shot when the golf club impacts the golf ball; supporting the reflective panel in an upright position at a non-vertical angle; positioning the user in front of the reflective panel at a horizontal distance there from to accommodate the user's height such that the image of the top of the user's head is proximate and below said horizontal line and the vertical line passes through the image of a golf ball positioned between the user and the reflective panel; adjusting the angle of the reflective panel with respect to the user such that the image of the top of the user's head is proximate and below said horizontal line; swinging a golf club toward the ball such that the top of the user's head remains proximate the horizontal line, and the vertical line remains aligned with the image of the golf ball; and comparing the user's reflected image to the outline.
