Claim:
A golf club impact analyzer for a golf club having a shaft with a grip and a head with a striking face, said impact analyzer comprising: a housing having a forwardly extending elongated generally planar fence 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 fence providing a visual alignment which, when aligned perpendicular to the striking face, corresponds to the intended line of flight; said fence rigidly connected to said housing generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the golf club shaft when said housing is attached to the shaft; right and left air pressure sensors connected to said housing on the right and left, respectively, side of, and forwardly facing in the same direction as, said fence, each of said air pressure sensors producing a signal proportionally responsive to movement of air flowing therepast during each swing of the golf club; an electronic circuit within said housing receiving the signals from each of said air pressure sensors producing a sensorially perceivable signal relative to alignment or misalignment between said stationary member and the direction of golf club head swing at the moment of impact of the golf club head with a golf ball.
