Golf club alignment apparatus
View Patent ↗A golf club alignment apparatus includes a golf club head portion which includes an optimal ball hitting portion also known as a “sweet spot”. One or two laser units are connected to the golf club head portion, and the laser units project planar laser beams (e. g. fan beams), wherein portions of the planar laser beams impinge on the ground. The planar laser beams are oriented perpendicularly to a front face of the golf club head portion. The support platform projects outward from behind the golf club head portion. Each laser unit includes a laser beam generating portion for emitting a planar laser beam from the laser beam generating portion. Alignment of a target with a golf ball is aided by employing the planar laser beams.
1. The method of aligning a golf club with a golf ball and a target on the ground, comprising the following steps:
(a) providing a transparent golf ball;
(b) providing a golf club with a ball hitting face and a laser beam generator mounted on said club wherein the laser beam from said laser generator extends substantially normal to said ball hitting face of said club;
(c) placing said transparent golf ball on the ground between said golf club and said target; and
(d) placing said golf club in hitting position with respect to said transparent golf club on said ground such that said laser beam impinges on the central portion of said transparent golf club, said ground and said target whereby said laser beam, said central portion of said golf ball and said target are mutually aligned.
2. The method of claim 1 including the further step of:
(e) hitting said transparent golf ball with said golf club to cause said golf club to travel accurately along said aligned beam to said target.
