Golf swing self evaluation kit and method
View Patent ↗The kit includes an elongated stick designed to extend longitudinally over the golfer's two shoulders and a golf ball elevational tool that includes a clip that attaches to the front edge of the brim on a hat or visor worn by the golfer. Attached to the clip is a length adjustable, string that attaches to a golf ball. The clip attaches to the brim and the length of the string is adjusted so the golf ball hangs freely just above the ground. The elongated stick is placed over the golfer's shoulders and the head and neck are tilted downward towards the ball. The golfer then rotates his or her waist, upper torso, and swings his or her shoulders forward and rearward until the opposite ends of the elongated stick touch or pass the golfer's front mid-line axis without lifting the ball or causing the ball to excessively swing.
1. A method for a golfer to practice a golf swing on a support surface, comprising the following steps:
a. selecting a swing elevation and balance kit that includes a straight flexible, elongated stick with opposite distal ends and a golf ball elevational tool that includes a main clip designed to attach to the front edge of a brim on a visor or hat worn by said golfer, a length adjustable, lightweight string attached at one end to said main clip, and a regulation size golf ball attached at an end of said string opposite said end attached to said main clip;
b. attaching said main clip to said brim of said visor or said hat so that string extends along said golfer's front midline axis and adjusting the length of said string so that said golf ball is positioned at a fixed distance in front of said golfer and just above the ground enabling said golf ball to swing side to side;
c. placing said elongated stick over said golfer's shoulders and looking downward at said golf ball; and,
d. sufficiently rotating said golfer's waist and shoulders from side to side so that said distal ends of said elongated stick swing and cross said golfer's front mid-line axis denoted by said string and simultaneously holding said visor or said hat in a fixed position so that said golf ball attached to said string does not move vertically, swing forward, swing backward, or swing left or to the right while rotating said waist and shoulders.
