| 20090017930 | Method for measuring golf swing efficiency - A method and apparatus for determining the efficiency of an athlete's body movement is disclosed. With particular reference to the sport of golf, the present invention relates to measuring the ground reaction forces of a golfer during a golf swing. The ground reaction forces may be resolved into a single value. At the same time, the dynamic characteristics of the golf club are also measured, including the golf club head velocity. Comparing the single value to the club head velocity allows the golfer's efficiency to be determined. The efficiency may be used for a wide variety of purposes, including fitting golf equipment, technique improvement, and fitness assessment. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090203459 | Golf Training Aid for Pendulum Putting Motion and Accepted Chipping Motion - A golf training aid comprised of a telescopic rod mounted on an adjustable bracket and a generally spherical end member mounted on the rod. The bracket adjusts to fit over the end of the grip of a golf club and is held in place by a band around the bracket. The rod is adapted to be extended and shortened as a means to adjust the length of the device. The distance of the end member from the grip is adjusted so that the end member contacts the midsection of a golfer when he assumes his putting stance and is positioned outside the golfer's body when used for chipping. The portion of the end member which contacts a golfer's body has relatively low friction so that the end member moves relative to the body if the proper putting stroke is not used. The telescopic rod of the device is not meant to contact the golfer's body when used for chipping and will come in contact with the golfer's body when an improper chipping motion is used. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20110300962 | T-BAR PUTTING STROKE TRAINER SYSTEM - A golf putting trainer may be utilized in combination with a golf putter to: a) position the putter face perpendicular to the shoulder line; b) provide a visual aid to set the shoulders parallel to the perceived putt line; c) train a golfer to execute a putting stroke by moving the shoulders, arms, hands, and putter in a synchronized motion around the stroke axis or upper spine; d) provide a visual aid to monitor the motion of the shoulders on-plane. The golf putting trainer may include an adjustable clamp, which can slide up and down the putter shaft to accommodate golfers of various sizes, a main shaft attached to the adjustable clamp, and a shoulder alignment guide attached to the main shaft that allow equal pressure to be applied against both shoulders of a golfer. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20120015755 | Putting Stroke Teacher - A T-shaped golf instructional tool adapted to fit over the grip end of a conventional or belly-type putter for the purpose of teaching a proper putting stroke and improving consistency. An attach bar is fixed to a putter grip using hook and loop fastened straps. The attach bar extends above the putter between the user's forearms, where two horizontal rods are fixed to the attach bar at a common junction. The horizontal rods provide feedback to the user and ensure his or her forearms, wrists and arms stay positioned together through the putting stroke. The horizontal rods align perpendicular to the putter face, allowing alignment of the shoulders and feet relative to the intended target. The attach bar can be adjusted out of plane relative to the putter swing path to accommodate different user geometry and proper posture over the ball. | 01-19-2012 |
