Abstract

A golf practice aid comprising a base 1 and two swing guide poles connected to the base 1 wherein one of the swing guide poles extends in a horizontal direction and the other a vertical direction and wherein the connection between the base 1 and the swing guide poles allows the poles to be moved in 3 dimensions without changing their orientation with respect to the base. The guide poles are supported by members 2 and 3 which initially extend horizontally from the base before extending vertically and employ adjustable lever brackets. Calibration marks are provided to record positioning used. In use the guide poles are arranged to define an area through which a golfer should swing their club. The base 1 may have a grid pattern and be supported by adjustable feet.

Description

DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION:

TITLE: Golf swing training aid

BACKGROUND AND FIELD OF INVENTION

The Invention relates to the angle path and shape that a golf club takes when being swung with achieved with the intention of striking a golf ball during a golf practice session. This is commonly called the swing plane or swing arc and takes the form of a circular shape titled at approximately 45 degrees. Control of this club head is one of the factors that dictate the direction of the golf ball with a precise swing arc shape being the desired action. Most handicap golfers have poor or inconsistent control over their club resulting in undesirable swing arc shapes and thus poor or inconsistent shots coupled with inconsistent positioning of both the ball and feet. The movement needed for the accurate repetition of the golf swing arc needs to be consistent to inches and centre metres and so any repeated practice of the golf swing needs to be geared to the repetition of a precise movement. The required movement is often dictated by a PGA golf instructor but can be required by the participant golfer them selves. The following problems relate to the current features that current designs, products and patent applications have not fully solved.

Problem I 1-In line with invention background, if the swing is repeated incorrectly then the participant will be enforcing that incorrect movement with in there swing due to the learning of muscle memory and so any practice that is to be done must encourage the accurate swinging of the golf club and striking of the ball on a repeatable basis. Also, as the golf swing arc is tilted to a approximately 45 degrees this means it moves in 3 dimensions, and any device that would help to provide guidance for a desired swing path or arc resulting in struck golf ball should be suitably adjustable in these dimensions relative to the position the golfer stands to the ball position on the ground. It is possible to create a free floating 3 dimensional device that aids with the swinging of the club, is fully moveable and is not linked to the standing position of the golfer but as is stands the following problems would be encountered: Problem 2 2-One free floating 3 dimensional guide devices that would not be connected to a structure where the golfer was standing would not be able to allow for exact re-positioning of the device and so inconsistent practising would be encountered.

Problem 3 3-If we created one device guide that moved 3 dimensionally and was connected to a structure where the golfer was standing it would have to be in a way that allowed for calibration. A free moving telescopic arm or any device similar would not solve this problem as there would be no way to accurately reposition it in three dimensional spaces relative to where the golfer is standing.

Problem 4 4-From here, if one guide device was created that was connected to a ground structure where the golfer was standing and was done with a mechanism that allowed for calibration but only moved in 1 or 2 dimensions it would not provide a guide that would be able to track the 3 dimensional nature of the arc of the golf swing and so would become in affective in solving problem 1.

Problem 5 5-If we create a device that had one 3 dimensionally adjustable guide AND was connected to the structure on the ground by means of a mechanism that allowed for re-calibration relative to the where the golfer was standing there would still be the problem of only using one guide point. Without a second guide point the remaining space opposite the existing guide point could be used to swing the club and so this would ultimately not solve the problem of helping to accurately provide a means of creating a consistent arc shape through means of guide points during practice when swinging a club.

Problem 6 6-If we had solved all 5 problems, due to the 3d nature of the golf swing arc any device that prided two-guide point would have to track the shape of the arc to its full extent including its height. If this were not achieved there would still be scope for swing flaws to accrue in areas of the arc where the swing guides could not be positioned due to lack of a guide area in this area formed by the presence of the two guide areas.

Problem 7 7-If solved all 6 problems we would still need an accurate means to reposition the golfers feet and ball relative to our 2 guide points and ground device thus linking them together.

Problem 8 8-If all 7 problems had been solved we would have to take into account the force at which a golf club is swung and the relative impact that this would have on the guide devices should they be struck. With this in mind the positioning of any guide device would have to allow for this impact without damaging either the golfer or the device and thus the precise positioning and direction the guide member points would be important. Please note that the positioning, shape and size of these swing guides has to be considered in overcoming this problem. Also the design of the foam guide is off prior importance.

9-If we solved all 7 problems then for the purposes of re-calibration we would need to by any means to store up to 8 positioning points on the device to be recorded for calibration when the device user practised again.

10-With reference to patterns upon standing and hitting mats for golfers in relation to being part of a calibration system the pattern that is used to gauge the position of the golfers feet with them actively doing so currently features grid patterns and the placement of feet shaped patterns up on the a standing mat of some kind with number s attached to this grid system or in the feet shaped patterns.

In relation to this: a-The placement of a number foot patterns upon a standing mat offers only a limited number of reference points for the user. The exact nature of golf including positioning for different shots and clubs and the size and shape of each individual dictates that there should be an unlimited number of patterns upon the mat for accurate fitting to that individual. If this was the case it would be impossible to define one pattern over another due to the multitude of patterns on the mat and the overlaying that this would create and so a given number of foot patterns would not never be enough and attempting to add an indefinite number of patterns would not allow for a visual reference due to the confused appearance that this would create on the mat.

b-The positioning of a grid system or horizontal lines upon the mat does not allow for the exact positioning of the "splaying of the feet" as with the edge of the feet touching a grid reference line that is square instead of angles to allow for the "splaying of the feet". Thus a grid system in line with the definition of a grid does not solve this problem Also any combination of features described in problems 10-a, b would not fully solve the problem of positioning the feet.

Please note that with reference to problem 10 any design or implementation of grid patterns upon the proposed device are strictly and solely for the purpose of fully solving the calibration problem related to use of two swing guides and any patterns noted are not designed or able to solve any problems arsing from finding a correct foot and ball position in general on a playing surface of for aiding in correct alignment.

11-Golf mats that are used for striking are often cumbersome and awkward to move around.

Therefore the changing of these mats due to wear and tear can be time consuming and difficult. Also, only certain areas of the mat are used for striking even though the mat is fully covered with a surface needed for ball striking. Their -fore the production and cost of these mats is inefficient to the total spaced needed in relation to the required material surface upon the mats.

12-The surfaces that most golf mats are placed on are often uneven with dips and crest within this. This means that any device that would be created would have to allow for this, as any ball positioned on top of such a surface would simply roll a way 13-Sepertating general positioning and movement of swing guides from the precise movement of my invention in relation to solving the specific problems Please note that the following comments are based upon a combination of the prior art mentioned below and the problems mentioned previously: The calibration and movement of swing guides problem The prior art and some existing products contained many examples moveable swing guides however this invention attempts to discuss why the type of movement and range of movement is important in an attempt to prove the novelty of this invention and why it may not be obvious.

If you decide to produce any device that has both the features: 13-I Moveable swing guides 13-2Calibration of thee swing guides It should be noted that in an attempt to form an as effective as possible calibrated moveable swing guide any movement at all that you allow these swing guides to make must accordingly be able have means of recording such movement for the purpose of calibration if you want to make the calibration of your swing guides as effective as possible. Unless these criteria are satisfied any golfer using the product may be unable to recalibrate exactly the position of the swing guide they had used in the previous practice problem.

Due to this the more movement you allow your swing guide to make the more you have to allow for calibration of that movement.

Although allowing a swing member move to along a base can be calibrated This becomes particularly difficult with swing guides which are fixed to any base that allow for 3-d rotational movement whilst being attached to any base by one end such as examples shown in the prior art below. It should also be noted from studying the prior art that any swing guides that do not have facility for calibration marks upon all areas of their swing guides are thus become less affective as a fully calibrational swing guide.

The swing guides themselves and their positioning 13-3-Pointing position of swing guides in relation to absorbing impacts Due to the use of swing guides it should be noted that they should be able to absorb golf club impact both through the material used in them, the structure of them and the way they are positioned and to do all of these as effectively as possible. After studying the prior art I have noted that although materials have been considered, general shape with regards to how best absorb impact. No specific noted consideration of positioning of swing guides or internal structure of swing guides to absorb impact has been considered and as my device does consider this any positional description or internal structure description should be noted as being relative to solving this problem without comprising the other functions the swing guides need to carry out.

13-4-Pointing position of swing guides in relation to providing a "constant" for calibration With regards to swing guide movement calibration, if a "constant "in terms of positional pointing of the swing guide (based upon a tube like structure) can be provided without compromising the function of the move ability then by default it will make calibration a simpler process and allow for a more measured set of combination positions and movements as opposed to infinite sable combinations, which is a problem created with fully rotating swing guide members.

13-5-Tracking the 3 dimensional arc of a golf swing in terms of providing guide points Please note any swing guide that is tethered to the ground typically is limited in fully tracking the 3 dimensional nature of the golf swing which is true of many swing guides that are attached to a base surface without means of being fully telescopic to cover the full arc of the swing. This is related to pinpoint a specific point on the arc where a fault is apparent that requires desired swing guide points, (please examples in prior art of not meeting this requirement) Please note the feature of a constant pointing position helps to solve both problems together.

With my description I hope to show the type of movement my swing guides have, their position, structure and range of movement and my device goes further than providing a general form of movement and positioning with a much more specific form of movement and positioning Please note that in detailing these problems the following prior art has been studied and cited: CAILEY-US 431,661 Bi TAFT-US-4736,952 HESSELBERT-US-5,0 13,044 CARDOS I-US-I 1/077,319 -7,063,626 -10/347,006 -6,932,712 SPENCE-GB-2268692 HENRY -US-4,7 18,674 MASON-U 5-7, 527, 562 BENDER-US -2004/198525 GAUER-US-6,949,030

PROBLEMS IN DETAIL

PRIOR ART COMMENTS TO DIFFERNTIATE MY APPLICATION

In my attempt to "fence off" the combination off the set of features that make my invention novel and inventive the following comments on prior art are only examples of features that are different to my application with there being other features that are not mentioned which would differentiate my application from

aforementioned prior art.

CAILEY-No mention in description or claims that the golfer has to stand on a base with no mention of a base to that effect with the swing guide members attached to a frame not a base CARDOS I-No mention of more than 2 swing guide members that are in contact with the base and no mention of connective features connecting members and base being movable whilst remaining static against the base.

Also, no mention of the grid pattern being essential to the invention or in helping in tandem with calibration for I or 2 swing guides GAUER-No mention in description or claims that the golfer has to stand on the base with mention of a telescopic arm coupled to the base instead of a non-telescopic one BENDER-A mention of rods for prevention of body movement instead of swing guides and with reference to the soft foam member that could be deemed a swing guide being positioned on a vertical plate and not a base.

With this foam member only being singular. Finally attachment members that are attached to a plate are deemed to be telescopic instead of non telescopic.

SPENCE-No mention of a base providing a flat surface area and swing guides mentioned appearing to be fixed and being positioned in a manor that is different to mine, i, e vertically and horizontally positioned

Also, there are no swing guides coming from the base Example researched prior art: CHARLES RICHARDSON-GB2342049-Only one moveable member and only one attachment feature to attach this member as apposed to 2.

Existing products and designs have solved some of these problems but not all 13 problems have been solved by one design and functioning product. Thus, any design would have to not only overcome these problems but also attempt it in a way that was novel and inventive, separate to other examples.

STATEMENT OF INVENTION:

To overcome the general field and background invention and all 13 problems related to this, the present invention provides a fixed, base for the striking of a golf ball with two removable mat systems that are inserted into the base surface to form a flat surface (one for the golfer standing and one for the golfer striking the golf ball). Attached to the base are 2 members each member having a horizontally pointing feature that is perpendicular to the ground with two vertically pointing elements being part of it. Both the horizontal features can take the form a structure that is fixed to the base permanently or are moveable in some form within the base whilst being still being in contact with the base. The vertically pointing features of the members support feedback swing guide devices that allow for a desired space or gap separated by 2 fully adjustable swing guides that are each capable of moving 3 dimensionally relative to fixed point without the guides them selves moving separate from the base or being disconnected from it. The structure of the swing guides are tube like and hollow as to provide an effective crumple zone when being struck by a golf club. Further more each guide has the ability to be calibrated within its 3 dimensional movement that involves movement in terms of height and length that does not involve the user moving or changing shape or position. At least I guide can track the swing arc to a the shoulder height of an average 5,6 foot golfer with the other guide capable of a range of movement for creating a required space up to the torso of an average 5,6 golfer. The pattern on the standing mat uses perpendicular diagonal lines set level perpendicular square lines to allow for the "splaying out" of golfers feet to a set angle that allows for at least 50 different foot placement combinations without the use of a grid pattern. The device allows for between 8 and 10 calibration points to be recorded allowing for enhanced accurate recalibration of the device for the individual, club used and shot required. Upon the feedback swing guide devices being struck they are positioned in such a way that that allows for the impact to be absorbed and the guide struck with a glancing blow as apposed to conducting the impact through the other parts of the device thus causing damage. In the case of the one swing guide, it has been positioned to be perpendicular to the length of the platform base and thus pointing at a horizontal 90-degree angle to the direction of the horizontal members that are attached to the base with it remaining perpendicular to the ground and to the length edge of the base. In the case of the opposing swing guide, it has been positioned to be vertical at a 90-degree angle to the direction of both the horizontal members that are attached to the base whilst also being positioned vertically at a 90-degree angle to the ground and base surface.

In addition, provided is a convenient method of recording the swing guide position that is designed to be used by golfers who use the product to record their own personal settings.

This is in the form of a business card size and shape. (This card will be detailed in a design registration and trade mark application under the same applicant's name)Please note, the example given is not representative of any amount of settings needed.

ADVANTAGES: The following advantages are comprehensive detail of advantages over prior art products and existing products on the market with some advantages not being true of individual other prior art or existing products with other s being true and in its entirety forming a set of advantages that make up the device as a whole: 1-Golf balls can actually be hit whilst using the device as apposed to swinging on a swing training aid that doesn't allow you to strike a golf ball. This improves and speeds up the learning process.

2-With this device a golfer can achieve a consistent positioning of their feet through a system on the base allowing for more accurate practice sessions 3-The 2 guide inserts are adjustable in 3 dimensions allowing for different angles of swings, different sizes of golfers through different tolerance levels.

4-The training aid is movable allowing it to be moved to different golf swing training facilities.

5-The training aid has the option of different settings through its moveable and extendable members allowing the golfers training to be made easier or difficult as their training progresses. The golfer needs to be fitted to the device which also means it can be personalised to the individual.

6-The training aids are shock absorbent, which means that if the correct swing angle is not achieved the golfer, will strike the guide. Due to the nature of the guides, the impact of the strike will be absorbed and so the device is durable. This will not damage the golfers club thus allowing for training without damage to the device or golf club.

7-The device can be switched round for left handed golfers 8-Training of the swing has to be usually done at a golf facility, this invention allows training to be done at home on grass or an artificial surface.

9-The invention has the ability to consistently position/calibrate 2 golf swing guide points working in unison in relation to the golfer's feet/ball position.

10-Whilst striking a golf ball the device provides a guide path for swinging the club in relation to striking the ball.

11-It does this by a calibrated mechanism incorporated into 1 fully adjustable 3 dimensional guide and I adjustable 3 dimension guide point to which the golfer should swing the club.

12-Both insert guides can move fully independent of each other.

13-The golfer can set this calibration of the device with no assistance from others as the appropriate calibration settings can be recorded.

14-The positioning of the foot and ball placement system on the standing part of the base unit allows for the golfer to consistently reposition their feet.

15-The ball placement system on the hitting part of the base allows for the golfer to consistently reposition his or her ball.

16-Both guide members should work together to help adjust the golfer to the required position before hitting a shot.

17-The gap created to swing the club is entirely at the individual golfer's discretion or the coach of the golfer due to the fact the gap is fully adjustable.

18-If the golfer strikes the foam inserts this will give them learning feedback that they have not swung the club at the correct angle as they have not swung the club within the preset gap.

19-One insert guide would form one half of a guideline for creating a gap or space to which the club should be swung.

20-The other insert guide completes the other guideline for creating the gap or space to which the club should be swung.

21-The insert guides will spring back into the exact place they were set to if they are struck.

22-The device is detachable and comes in parts as members can detached from each other.

23-The device has consistent number of settings (10 settings) that all have to be configured and recorded thus informing if the user if all settings have been adjusted 24 -The two swing guides have no height or depth limits in terms of creating a desired space in which to swing the club 25-The device settings can be noted by for individual users on a business sized card
