International ClassA63B 69/36AbstractA golf training device (10) is provided having an elongated housing (20) and a mirror housing (30), with both the elongated housing (20) and mirror housing (30) having indicia (40) imprinted thereon. The elongated housing (20) contains a laser (200) and a mirror assembly (150) for generating a laser beam (80) which is projected in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongated housing (20). The laser beam (80) instructs a user on where to position the heel of his or her leading foot (290) and indicia (40) allow for the proper positioning of the golf ball (240) with respect to a chosen golf club for an optimal swing to reach a designated target.Field of SearchPractice device or device to aid in aiming cue or cue ball during shots (e.g., to assist in bank shots, etc.)Practice device attachable to body Practice swingable implement or indicator associated with swingable implement With lighting (e.g., laser, etc.) means attachable to or integral with implement With electrical sensor or electrical indicator Sensor positioned apart from implement to interact with a separate cooperating sensor means attachable to or integral with implement Integral with or attachable to swingable implement Swingable implement swing path indicator Body movement or position indicator (e.g., stance aids, etc.) Reflective device Sighting device directing golfer`s visual focus toward a point to restrain head movement Foot positioning aid Having separate body engagable member Selectively adjustable with pivotal members Bipolar and FET Diode transistor logic Elongate type With or comprising mounting means Laser type Light pen for CRT display Light pen for fluid matrix display panel Light pen for controlling plural light-emitting display elements (e.g., LED, lamps) | |
