Abstract:
Disclosed is a self-contained device and method for improving a practicing golfer's swing which is brought about by the movement and action of an elongated headpiece subassembly which is positioned at the side or temporal areas of a practicing golfer's head and withdrawn when there is premature movement or glancing away from one's eye on the golf ball being hit prior to striking the golf ball in the practicing shot, or pulled away when the golf ball is struck without moving one's head or eyes prior to making the shot and proceeding with follow-through. In related preferred models of the invention a ground support subassembly assembly is used to vertically support the headpiece subassembly, and acts to define an area where the golf ball is placed for the practicing shot; and further provides a warning method when a right-handed or left-handed practicing golfer strays too far to the left or right, respectively in follow-through of a practicing shot.

Claim (Index 1):
A headpiece device and system for fitting on a first side temple area and a second side temple area of a head of a practicing golfer while making a practicing shot and improving a golf swing of the practicing golfer with a golf club by responding to movement of the head of the practicing golfer during the golf swing of the practicing golfer by moving away from the first side temple area and the second side temple area of the golfer's head of the practicing golfer, the headpiece device and system comprising:\n an outside base having first and second ends and a periphery wall, the outside base defining an installation channel within the periphery wall, and a slide groove along a portion of the periphery wall which extends to the second end of the outside base; an inside slide, having first and second ends, being securely and slideably mounted within the installation channel of the outside base so that the inside slide can securely move and extend a portion of its length a linear horizontal dimension y, beyond the first end of the outside base, and a slide stop member attached to the second end of the inside slide, the slide stop member having an extended end which is spaced from the inside slide; a dual support securely attached to the first end of the inside slide, for extension beyond the first end of the outside base the linear horizontal dimension y, the dual support having at least a first side and a second side, and defining a support opening extending throughout the first side and the second side of the dual support, the support opening securely receiving and supporting at least one cross support member extending throughout the first side and the second side of the dual support, thereby defining a first portion of the cross support member extending from the first side of the dual support and a second portion of the cross support member extending from the second side of the dual support, a first temple having elongated first and second ends, being securely and pivotably attached to the first portion of the cross support member, and a second temple having elongated first and second ends, being securely and pivotably attached to the second portion of the cross support member, the first side temple area and the second side temple area of the head of the practicing golfer receiving for positioning therewith the first temple and the second temple, the second end of the first temple having connected to it a cable shaft, and the second end of the second temple having connected to it a cable shaft; a trigger spring, having first and second ends, the trigger spring being attached at its first end on the dual support, and at its second end on the outside base, for providing biasing tension when the inside slide is extended the linear horizontal dimension y from the outside base; a trigger having elongated first and second ends, the trigger being securely and pivotably attached to the outside base, the first end of the trigger defining a catch-notch, and further having a cable member having first and second ends, the first end of the cable member being securely connected to the second end of the trigger and the second end of the cable member being bifurcated and defining a first bifurcated end and a second bifurcated end, the first bifurcated end being securely attached, providing biasing tension, to the cable shaft of the second end of the first temple and the second bifurcated end being securely attached, providing biasing tension, to the cable shaft of the second end of the second temple; and a shaft reception support base, the shaft reception support base being securely attached to the periphery wall of the outside base, the shaft reception support base defining a receiving hole for receiving a portion of a vertical shaft support for the headpiece device and system; and wherein when the inside slide is extended the linear horizontal dimension y, the catch-notch is caught, releasably secured and coupled with the slide stop member of the inside slide and is thereby placed in a set position for use by the practicing golfer, the cable member being taut when in the set position; and wherein, if the practicing golfer moves their head prior to making the practicing golf shot this causing the first temple member and the second temple member to move and activate the cable member to actuate the trigger and cause the stop member to release from the catch-notch of the trigger causing the first temple member and the second temple member of said headpiece device and system to pull away from the head of the practicing golfer prior to making the practicing golf shot; and wherein, if the practicing golfer does not move their head prior to making the practicing golf shot, the first temple member and the second temple member not pulling away from the practicing golfer's head until final follow-through with the golf club after striking the golf ball, during completion of the practicing golf shot.
