| 20110183770 | Leverage Discs - A golf or tennis training apparatus for helping a player to improve his/her balance while practicing a swing using a disc shaped member of flexible material with an opening located in the top surface of the disc shaped member and a fluid located in the disc shaped member. The disc shaped member is an unstable support for a golf or tennis player to stand on to help improve the player's balance when swinging a golf club or a tennis racket. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20090124406 | GOLF STANCE AND BALL ALIGNMENT GUIDE - A guide for improving a golfer's stance and swing includes an elongated hollow member, an elongated insert member, and a connector. In golf-practice configuration, the hollow member and the insert member cross each other at 90 degrees and are adjustable relative to each other for different ball placement. In a storage configuration, the insert member is removed from the connector and slid and latched into an interior space of the hollow member. The hollow member and the insert member are preferably tubular so that the storage configuration is generally a tube-within-a-tube. The preferred connector is near the intersection of the hollow member and the insert member but does not require any structure to be between the hollow member and the insert member at or near the place where they cross each other, resulting in a low profile guide. Preferably, only a small portion of the connector contacts the practice mat or ground, resulting in minimal resistance to movement on the mat or ground. Multiple, sharply-pointed pegs may temporarily fix the guide to a mat, and may be connected to the hollow member and/or the insert member for storage of the entire device as a single, compact unit. | 05-14-2009 |

| 20080268975 | GOLF SHOT SET-UP AND BALL PLACEMENT TRAINING DEVICE - A golf teaching device including a cloth towel having a major surface on which indicia is printed and also including a rear foot position indicator, a plurality of lead foot position indicators, and first and second ball placement indicators. The plurality of lead foot position indicators includes spaced, first and second shot specific identifiers. The first shot specific identifier and the first ball placement indicator have an identical, first primary color, whereas the second shot specific identifier and the second ball placement indicator have an identical, second primary color. The first and second primary colors are different from one another. With this configuration, a user of the device quickly and easily confirm proper foot and golf ball placement in performing a desired golf shot. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090305804 | Positioning device for a golfer when putting - A positioning device for a golfer when putting has orientation means for orienting the positioning device relative to a target, placement means for predetermining a relative position of the positioning device and a golf ball, and adjustable positioning means for predetermining a standing position of the golfer relative to the positioning device, i.e. relative to the golf ball. The position of the golfer's feet with regard to the golf ball can be reproducibly predetermined or adapted, respectively, using the positioning device. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090029789 | Golf Training Apparatuses and Methods - A golf training apparatus may include a substantially planar member having a top surface, a plurality of left foot profiles on the top surface, and a plurality of right foot profiles on the top surface. Each of the plurality of left foot profiles may have a different size, and each of the right foot profiles may have a different size. The right foot profiles may be spaced a distance from the left foot profiles. Each of the right foot profiles may substantially correspond in size with one of the left foot profiles. The left and right foot profiles increase in size as the distance between the substantially same-sized left and right foot profiles increases. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20110224010 | PUTT AND SWING TRAINING PLATE - A golf training plate including a body rectangular in shape comprising a top surface, a left side, a right side, a forward side and a rear side having two foot placement cutouts extending from the rear side towards the forward side and an alignment arm in the shape of an “L” comprising a short portion adjacent the right side of the body and a long portion, substantially parallel to the forward side of the body defining a training space for placement of a ball. The body and the alignment arm each have a series of ball alignment lines to aid in placement of the ball relative to the foot placement cutouts. | 09-15-2011 |
| 20090082121 | GOLF TRAINING DEVICE - A golf training device ( | 03-26-2009 |
| 20100069168 | Golf Swing Training Mat - A golf swing training aid to allow a golfer to learn the correct swing path utilizes a mat having three visual guidelines displayed thereon or therethrough. One guideline is aimed at the target. A second guideline would guide the club head on the back swing and a third guideline would show a greater inside angle to the target line that the club should make on its approach to the ball. A pair of bars are attached to the golf mat which would aid in correctly aligning the golfer's body to provide the proper stance when addressing a golf ball. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20110098124 | GOLF TRAINING DEVICE - The present invention relates to a golf training device and method of use thereof. Specifically, the training device seeks to correct faults in a golfer's swing. The device enables correct alignment and correct swing path to be practiced simultaneously whilst practising both shots or drills requiring a “square” alignment or shots or drills requiring an “open” or “closed” alignment. Furthermore, the device, and method of use thereof, can be used by all sizes of golfer, using all types and sizes of clubs, practising all types of shot. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20120309554 | GOLF SWING TRAINING DEVICE - The present disclosure relates to a golf swing training device that gives real-time visual feedback for obtaining correct golf club swing mechanics. Features and implementations include: (1) a number of alignment indicators such as disks or blocks capable of lying flat on the ground or a surface; (2) a cable, string, rope, or chain that connects the alignment indicators and that the alignment indicators are spaced along; (3) a positioning guide placed on the ground or a surface that indicates proper placement of the connected alignment indicators in order to create the proper arc shape of the connected alignment indicators; and (4) alignment markers on each alignment indicator to show the proper angle the golf club face should have at different points during a swing. | 12-06-2012 |
| 20110319184 | Way - A collapsible alignment aid consisting of multiple rods, sleeves in which the rods come to rest, an elastic cord which draws thru out to hold together as one unit and end caps for tie off coverage and a finished appearance. | 12-29-2011 |

| 20110065522 | RAIL - GOLF SWING GUIDE - The Rail, rail or rail assembly uses a turret assembly to secure a swing plane rod. The tension of the turret assembly is adjusted such that the swing plane rod stays in place, yet yields to impact from a golf club. The swing plane rod guides the shaft section of a golf club along a swing plane spanning the shoulder height to the foot level of the golfer. A stabilizer rod attaches to one end of the rail and may be used to indicate the golf ball position relative to a golfer's feet. The stabilizer rod also acts as a counter force to keep the rail from tipping over due to the position of the swing plane rod. | 03-17-2011 |
