April 7- B. GOODMAN 2,077,318
GOLF STROKE PRACTICE DEVICE Filed July 12. 1934 Patented Apr. '13, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.
My invention relates to an improvement in devices for assisting in practice of golf strokes.
An object of my invention is to provide a device which will assist a student of golf to hold his head in a fixed position while making a golf stroke.
A further object of my invention is to provide a device which will clearly indicate to a person practicing a golf stroke any movement which his head may make while he is making the stroke. a
In the past, devices for obtaining the result which I obtain by the use of my device have been patented, and the patented device which is most similar to my device is that disclosed in the patent to McArdle, No. 1,569,766, January 12, 1926.
My device is very small, and can be conveniently carried by the golfer from place to place to be used wherever he may wish to make a stroke.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a side elevation partly in section;
Fig. 2 is a plan view;' and Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a modified form.
Some form of anchorage is used, for example a hook 2.
The hook 2 is of any conventional form, and is provided with a base 4 which will rest upon the ground if the device is used out-of-doors. The
long pointed stake 6 is screw-threaded at its upper end to be screwed into the base 4 of the hook 2, as clearly shown in Fig. 1.
I provide a convenient form of reel 8 similar to a tape-measure reel which reel is adapted to be secured to the hook 2 by means of the loop II]. The reel 8 is provided with a narrow tape l2 which extends from the reel to a mouth-piece M, which latter may be made of rubber, celluloid, or any other suitable material.
In the modified form shown in Fig. 3, I provide a rubber cup l6 which is adapted to be placed over the base 4 of the hook. This form with the rubber cup i6 is adapted to be used on a hard surface such as a floor, so that the hook 2 may 45 be held in position by means of the vacuum created by forcing the cup l6 against the surface.
In placing the device in position to be used, the stake 6 is threaded into the hook 2, and is then driven into the ground at a distance of a 50 few inches away from the ball which is to be driven by the player. The reel 8 is placed on the hook 2 by means of the loop 10, and the mouth-piece M on the end of the tape l2 away from the reel is held in the players mouth. The ball to be struck is placed approximately in a line between the players mouth and the hook 2, so that the tape 12 will be in a line between the players eyes and the ball.
After the device has been placed in the ground a short distance away from the ball, the mouthpiece I4 is placed in the players mouth, and the tape l2 will be held in a position approximately over the ball to be struck. As the player moves his club and arms and pivots his body in the back stroke, any motion which his head may make will be clearly indicated to him by reason of the fact that the tape l2 will move relative to the ball. Thus by the use of my device, a player would soon be able to make a proper golf stroke without moving his head.
While my device is designed primarily for assisting a golf-player in making practice shots, it is obvious that a player could carry the device with him and easily place it in position for operation at any point on a golf-course.
I claim:
1. A golf stroke practice device comprising a hook, a spring-wound reelsecured thereto, a tape secured to said reel, and a mouth-piece secured to said tape at the end thereof remote from said reel, said hook being suitably secured to the ground or floor in close proximity to a golf-ball, and said mouth-piece being held in the players mouth.
2. A golf stroke practice device comprising a reel suitably secured in close proximity to a golfball, and a tape secured to said reel, the end of said tape remote from said reel being held in the players mouth and intersecting his line of vision to the ball.
3. A golf stroke practice device comprising a reel suitably secured in close proximity. to a golf ball, a tape having one end secured to said reel, and a mouth-piece secured to the other end of the said tape and adapted to be held in the mouth of the player, said reel being placed to hold the tape in such position as to intersect the player's line of vision to the golf-ball.
