20110014989 | GOLF SWING PRACTICE DEVICE - An indoor and outdoor golf swing practicing device for a user is disclosed. The device comprises at least one hard board having a plurality of holes, at least one hinge means having a first hinge arm, a second hinge arm and a pivot arm, a plurality of wedges mounted to the hard board, at least one hanger bolt, at least one extension spring, at least one golf ball, a plurality of supporting pads attached to opposing first and second ends of an inner surface of the first hinge arm, a set of plurality of pads fixed to at least one end of the plurality of wedges proximate the hinge means and a plurality of pads fixed to the at least one hard board. A carpet is placed partially over the device to facilitate a user to stand on the hard board to practice their swing techniques. | 01-20-2011 |
473140000 | With electrical sensor or electrical indicator | 3 |
20110306433 | GOLF SWING PRACTICE APPARATUS - A golf swing practice apparatus is provided including a rotating drum, a plurality of laser generating means mounted on the rotating drum, an elongated cord including a proximal end secured to the rotating drum and a distal end secured to a golf ball whereby the golf ball is tethered to the rotating drum, a base member having an impact area over which a user may swing a golf club, and a frame structure secured to the base member and to the rotating drum whereby the frame structure holds the rotating drum in an elevated position above the base member. The rotating drum rotates with the golf ball when the golf ball is struck by the user. At least one of the plurality of laser generating means generates a laser beam which propagates substantially along the path of the golf ball. Additionally, at least one of the plurality of laser generating means generates a laser beam which propagates parallel to a theoretical path of a fairway. | 12-15-2011 |
20120115622 | PORTABLE GOLF DRIVING RANGE - An apparatus and method for practicing golf shot where a ball is tethered to a storage and winding device for ball deployment. The tether feeds out of the storage and winding element guiding the A selectively operable motor rewinds the tether into the storage and winding device. A board onto which the practicing apparatus is removably mounted includes multiple surface materials to simulate various terrain conditions. A laser reader and bar coded tether is provided to measure the distance traveled by the ball. | 05-10-2012 |
20120142442 | GOLF SWING PRACTICE APPARATUS - A golf swing practice apparatus which includes a rotating drum having an optical sensor mounted inside the drum that is capable of swiveling in a direction perpendicular to the rotational direction of the drum and capable of detecting a change in swivel position or swivel angle; an elongated cord including a proximal end secured to the drum and a distal end secured to a golf ball; a base member having an impact area over which a user may swing a golf club; and a frame structure secured to the base member and to the rotating drum whereby the frame structure holds the rotating drum in an elevated position above the impact area. | 06-07-2012 |
473143000 | With force or direction indicator and tether | 1 |
20110151984 | GOLF SWING TRAINER - A golf practice and exercise device has an elevated arm from which an impact object is suspended for swinging movement. The object is positioned with a clubhead impact target in position for striking by the clubhead of a golf club swung by a golfer. The resistance to the impact of the golf club is adjustable. A sensor detects the magnitude and velocity of the striking force, and a display displays an indication as to how far a golf ball would have gone after being struck with a force and velocity of the detected magnitude. | 06-23-2011 |
473147000 | Spherical projectile attached to tether | 4 |
20110039628 | Training Aid - A training aid comprises first and second spaced, substantially inextensible, divergent guide lines ( | 02-17-2011 |
20110281661 | Recoiling tethered golf ball - A recoiling tethered golf ball has a first hole extending through the ball center and a second hole extending at right angles to the first hole. A nail in the second hole extends beyond the first hole into the golf ball. An anchor has an elongated shaft tapering to a point for insertion into the ground. The upper end is formed into an eye. The anchor has optional threads for attachment to a board or tree. A surgical tubing tether extends from a first end to a second end. The first end is received in the golf ball first hole and is looped around the nail. The tether second end is looped around the anchor eye. A first retaining clip encircles the first end loop. A second retaining clip encircles the second end loop to secure the loop from releasing. | 11-17-2011 |
20140121030 | GOLF SWING TRAINER - A golf swing trainer system includes a frame formed by one or more frame elements, and a training ball that simulates or is formed from a golf ball. The training ball is attached to a static cord that is attached to and/or restrained at a first location of the frame. The training ball is further attached to a dynamic cord that is attached to and/or restrained at a second location of the frame. The opposing static and dynamic cords collectively serve to return the training ball to its initial position as a result of the tension applied to the training ball by the dynamic cord after being driven by a user, while the static cord restrains recoil of the training ball beyond the initial position. | 05-01-2014 |
20140357390 | GOLF PRACTICE DEVICE - A golf practicing device includes a golf ball and a ball anchoring assembly which includes a restraining cord and an elastic cord. The restraining cord, which is made of non-elastic material, has an affixing end affixed to the golf ball and an anchoring end. A maximum traveling distance of the golf ball is restrained by a maximum length of the restraining cord between the affixing end and the anchoring end. The elastic cord is provided along the restraining cord that shortens a distance between the golf ball and the anchoring end of the restraining cord. When the golf ball is hit to fly at the maximum traveling distance, the elastic cord absorbs a tension of the restraining cord and pulls the golf ball back toward its spot position. | 12-04-2014 |
