GB and CA kit

Abstract

FIG. 1, the Golf Ball and Club Alignment Kit, has two separate but necessary integral fixtures consisting of an indoor / outdoor carpet with a surface to simulate the ball action on a putting green, but laid out with a grid of contrasting color FIG. 2, the grid lines are laid out to be contiguous with any additional FIG. 2's forming a larger practice area, each square may match the size of a regulation golf hole making it multi-directional and multi-purpose, however, size of squares is not essential to its operation as a ball conveyor. A two-mode surface attaching non-diverting vertically or laterally for accurately putted balls receptacle FIG. 3, can be placed anywhere on or off the FIG. 2, along with any selected teeing spot known as a “tee box”.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The patent describes a training device for golfers that includes a tunnel for hitting balls. The tunnel has markings and a removable door for adjusting the ball's trajectory. The device can be easily moved and attached to a tee box or other surfaces. The tunnel helps golfers align their shots and improve their swing. The patent also describes a putter with a special design to improve ball alignment and stability. The putter has markings and a removable door for adjusting the ball's trajectory. The device helps golfers hit the ball with more precision and accuracy."

Problems solved by technology

As is well recognized, the inconsistencies of the short game, which includes wedges through putter, is where most strokes are dropped by the average golfer, due to poor alignment of club face and sweet-spot, along with poor swing technique.

Most devices use a target, with a base over which the ball has to travel, which collects, and may return such ball to the golfer, if it makes it this far, but does not offer a true sized target, nor can collect and return an acutely breaking ball, or provide a true target width on a level plane, thus it is not a meaningful way to improve any golf stroke, such as to Stanton U.S. Pat. No. 4,429,882, February 1984.

Many of these ball-returning “holes” cannot do so if the surface mat is at a side angle as it too can slide sideways, also they are not truly representative of an actual golf hole size.

Others cannot give a real indication as to the distance the ball would have traveled, if it has to climb a hill or bump over a base to reach it.

This is why things go bad near the green and in sand traps.

Many surface mats are covered with arrows, numbers, arcs and lines at varying distances requiring a fixed tee box as per U.S. Pat. No. 6,981,921 to Scott, January 2006, as this can greatly add to the confusion and frustration of a golfer.

It is difficult enough to understand the fundamentals of golf, not as per U.S. Pat. No. 6,739,980 to Scott, May 2004.
