Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to golf training aids and more particularly, to a golf putting training aid, which helps the user to control putting techniques at different putting distances.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- In golf, “putter” means a short golf club used for putting the ball into the hole; “putt” means a light golf stroke made on the putting green in an effort to place the ball into the hole.
- Normally, when putting a golf ball, if the factors of the surroundings of the green, such as the lawn, wind direction, hole distance, slop, etc. are not taken into account, it is easier to put the ball into the hole by moving the putter head straightly ahead. In the contrary, if the putter head path is not straight, the ball will not roll straightly in direction toward the hole.
- Further, when the putting force is constant, the distance of the putter head from the ball (hereinafter called as countermarch distance) is directly proportional to the ball rolling distance.
- As a golf game beginner is not familiar with putting techniques, it is difficult to estimate the accurate countermarch distance. Further, because few simple and effective golf putting training aids are commercially available, a beginner is difficult to move the putter in putting the ball to roll straightly into the hole, or to estimate how far the ball can roll when putting the ball at a different countermarch distance.
- It is one object of the present invention to provide a golf putting training aid, which effectively helps the user control straight putting techniques, driving the ball to roll into the target hole.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a golf putting training aid, which helps the user understand the ball rolling distance when putting the ball at different countermarch distances.
- To achieve these and other objects of the invention, a golf putting training aid comprises a base frame having a bottom panel and a sidewall arranged at right angles and an opening and an end plate located on the sidewall, a collimator plate having a collimator face at the front side, a positioning mechanism for holding the collimator plate and moving the collimator plate in a parallel manner toward or away from the sidewall and locking the collimator plate in the desired position, a ball-hole table having a tabletop, a sliding groove extending around the tabletop and ball holes located on the tabletop in communication with the sliding groove, a ball lane covering the bottom panel and the tabletop, and a track connected between the sliding groove and the end plate, and reference marks marked on the top edge of the collimator plate and equally spaced at a pitch equal to the diameter of a golf ball.

Further, theball lane 60 is divided, by color, into afirst zone 63 and asecond zone 64. Thefirst hole 61 is located in thefirst zone 63. Thesecond hole 62 is located in thesecond zone 64. Further, astraight line 65 is longitudinally marked on thefirst zone 63 across thefirst hole 61 for checking the straightness of the rolling of the ball. - The
track 70 comprises afirst channel rail 71 a, asecond channel rail 71 b, athird channel rail 71 c, and twoconnectors 80 for connecting thechannel rails 71 a˜71 c. As shown inFIGS. 2 and 5 , thefirst channel rail 71 a comprises two rail-webs 72 respectively located on the two opposite long sides thereof, and agroove 73 extending along each rail-web 72. Thefirst channel rail 71 a is secured to the rear side of thebase frame 20 upon insertion of thelugs 25 into the locatinggroove 73. Thefirst channel rail 71 a further comprises abeveled edge 74 located on one end thereof and abutted against theend plate 26 of thebase frame 20, and twolatch holes 75 located on the other end thereof for the connection of oneconnector 80. Thesecond channel rail 71 b is connected to one end of thefirst channel rail 71 a. Thethird channel rail 71 c is connected between thesecond channel rail 71 b and thesliding groove 52 of the ball-hole table 50. Thesecond channel rail 71 b and thethird channel rail 71 c are structurally similar to thefirst channel rail 71 a with the exception that thesecond channel rail 71 b and thethird channel rail 71 c each have a straight end edge and twolatch holes 75 at each of the two ends thereof. Eachconnector 80 comprises fourlatches 81 arranged in a square array, and twoangled coupling flanges 82 respectively upwardly extended from the two opposite long sides thereof and then horizontally inwardly extended toward each other. During installation, as shown inFIGS. 5 and 6 , one end of thefirst channel rail 71 a and one end of thesecond channel rail 71 b are respectively inserted into oneconnector 80 to couple the respective rail-webs 72 to the respectiveangled coupling flanges 82 and to force thelatches 81 into therespective latch holes 75. Thesecond channel rail 71 b and thethird channel rail 71 c are connected together with theother connector 80 in the same manner. The number of channel rails may be changed subject to the length design of the golf puttingtraining aid 10. Further, dovetail joint or T-shaped tongue-and-groove joint may be used to substitute for the connectors for joining the channel rails. - When using the present invention, as shown in
FIG. 7 , move thecollimator plate 30 to the desired position and then lock it in position, allowing thecenter 92 of theputter head 91 to be aimed at thestraight line 65 of theball lane 60. Thereafter, put thegolf ball 95 on thestraight line 65, and then accurately stand up and hold thegolf putter 90 to abut the front edge of theputter head 91 against thecollimator face 31, and then move thegolf putter 90 to put theball 95. As theputter head 91 is moved along thecollimator face 31, the player can practice the feeling in putting thegolf putter 90 and control the putting techniques, driving theball 95 to move toward the goal, i.e., thefirst ball hole 55, and to roll into the hole. - During practice, the
marks 34 of thecollimator plate 30 help the player to know the rolling distance of theball 95 when putting theball 95 at a different countermarch distance. By means of repeated practice, the player can easily eastimate the accurate countermarch distance subject to the distance of the hole when playing in a real golf court, and then put the ball into the hole accurately. After entered theball hole ball 95 will roll to thesliding groove 52 and then thetrack 70 due to the effect of its gravity and the effect of inertia. When theball 95 touches theend plate 26, the reaction force will force theball 95 to roll out of the opening 27 to thebottom panel 21 for next putting. - After a certain period of time in practice, the user may not need the
collimator plate 30 to guide putting, and then directly put theball 95 on theball lane 60 toward thesecond ball hole 56, enjoying real straight putting. For practicing putting in a narrow place, the ball-hole table 50, theball lane 60 and thetrack 70 may be removed from thebase frame 20, and the user can use thebase frame 20 and thecollimator plate 30 to practice putting. - Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
