Adjustable golf training and teaching device for head and chin adjustment with stereo view of golf ball

Abstract

A portable, adjustable golf training and teaching device when attached to the golfers hat, assists in head, chin, spine and eye adjustment. The present invention can be adjusted in the address or set-up position to allow the players shoulders to rotate freely under the chin unrestricted, also maximizes the shoulder rotation during the backswing. With the device attached to the brim of a golfer's hat and the viewing holes properly set the device produces a stereo or three dimensional view of the containment area around the golf ball to allow the golfer to monitor any movement in the golf swing. The present invention allows the golfer to view the target and the ball in flight after being struck. The device can be used to train, practice and play on the golf course.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Claims

1. A portable, adjustable golf training and teaching device including a means for a golfer to adjust set up position and maintain a fixed vertical axis and the means to monitor movement during a golf swing by viewing through sighting holes when properly adjusted that create a three dimensional or stereo containment area around the golf ball.

2. Present invention includes a means for a golfer to adjust head and body position and align his or her eyes level, or horizontal and promotes the players ability to line up to a target, while in the address or set up position and gives the player a means to monitor alignment looking thru the top edge of the rectangular shaped sighting holes.

3. The present invention includes a means for the golfer to adjust address or set up position with a means to position players head for maximize shoulder rotation which is accomplished by moving the present invention toward the target slightly or more toward the front part of the brim of hat or by moving players hat with present invention attached and set in such a way that the golfer turns or swivels his or her head slightly away from the target line or to the right for a right-handed golfer or to the left for a left-handed golfer thus increasing shoulder rotation.

4. The present invention includes a means for the golfer to adjust the spine angle, in conjunction with the head and chin adjustment being positioned for an unrestricted or unobstructed shoulder rotation, accomplished by moving the present invention down while on brim of hat into a new position to induce player to lift his or her head to accommodate a new position of the sighting holes, increasing the space between the chin and the chest thus allowing the shoulders to rotate more freely around the fixed axis without interference or obstruction of the chin or head.

5. Present invention includes a means for the player to view the target, and in the same manner the player can view the ball in flight after being struck without present invention being removed.

6. A portable sighting and adjustment device includes a means for a golfer to monitor his or her rotation on a fixed axis giving the player instant feedback on movement during the swing either left, right, up or down, pulling away or leaning in, while viewing the ball in the containment area in stereo vision.

7. A portable sighting and adjustment device with a means for golfer to monitor swing path in putting and chipping with stereo or three dimensional feedback from movement observed of the stereo containment area.

8. Present invention includes a means for the golfer to use full previously stated applications when held in mouth, adjusted to increase shoulder rotation, adjusted to allow unrestricted shoulder turn, monitor swing path when chipping and putting, monitor movement in stereo vision, and view target and ball in flight after being struck.

9. Present invention allows a golfer to use full previously stated applications when attached to a pole that is connected to the ground or connected to a wall or frame, and can be adjusted to increase shoulder rotation, can be adjusted to allow unrestricted shoulder turn, allows golfer to monitor swing path when chipping and putting, monitor movement in stereo vision, and view the target and ball in flight after being struck.

10. The present invention can be constructed, molded, or built into the hat and can be made from various materials such as but not limited to acrylic, plastic , fiberglass, polycarbonate, steel, styrofoam, cardboard, paper, wood, metals, nylon, cotton, ceramic, and all varieties of hat manufacturing materials.

11. The present invention can have the sighting holes constructed in different sizes and shapes including but not limited to round, square, diamond, rectangle, oblong, also the size of the sighting holes can range from 1 mm to 75 mm. The construction of right component and the left component can vary in width, length and shape.

12. The present invention is made in such a way that the right and left components form the clip at the top of the device which is used to mount the device to a golfers hat, held in a golfers mouth, attached to a pole or onto a fixed frame.

13. The present invention is constructed in such a way that it is adjustable to accommodate all pupillary distances.
