Abstract:
The correct golf swing path is that of an angled sphere. Typically, when a golf club swings through impact it is at a shaft-angle of between 44 and 65 degrees—with a driver swung at the lower angle of 44 to 50 while irons become progressively steeper in angle; the shorter more lofted wedges approach a 65 degree lie-angle. That said, for a short period of time during the swings of professionals and accomplished amateurs, the club is swung STRAIGHT through into the ball and down the target-line for a period of 12 inches (30 cm)—6 inches before and 6 inches after impact (referred to as the flat spot). This swing training aid helps less accomplished golfers achieve this flat spot—swinging straight through impact on the correct angle with all golf clubs. Four, six-inch angled polymer poles attach to a base made for driver and wood shots off a tee, and iron and wood-shots off the ground. The goal is to swing the club between the poles and into the ball without striking the poles. The player gets feedback on his or her swing-path when he or she hits or misses the poles and then adjusts the swing accordingly. Different sets of angled poles (Driver/Woods and Irons) are fixed to the base's external driver and iron lines for use with the various clubs; the ball is aligned with one of the two center lines; one line is for tee-shots and the other is for shots hit from the ground.

Claim (Index 1):
A that provides: (1) the ability for a user to practice the most important long range club in golf: the driver; (2) the ability for the user to practice using all the angled clubs from driver to wedge which encompass a range of 45 to 65 degrees; (3) a base U shaped recess length (12 inches) and full-shot ball positioning lines, mirror and encourage the ideal Flat Spot swing which is 12 inches in length.
