Example

[0097]In a second embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIG. 11, the track 12 is curved in such a way that the track 12 is not in a single plane. Such a track 12 will allow for further freedom of movement of a golf swing. Studies of the golf swings of many professional golfers have shown that a normal golf swing does not have a consistent plane but follows the track 12 as shown in FIG. 11.

[0098]It is foreseen that the addition of an intermediate compensation layer 90 made from a soft but resilient material, such as foam rubber, will result in the dynamics of a club face engaging a golf ball approximating that of real life conditions when a golf ball is positioned on actual grass. The inventor has found that effects such as spin, hitting divots, and hitting a ball thick or fat, are very close to real life conditions when this particular golf practising surface 28 is utilized. Also, the golf practising surface 28 is easy to transport and to convey due to the entire assembly being f...

Abstract

The invention provides for a golf teaching apparatus (10) including: an elongate arcuate track (12); a carriage (14) being slidable along the track; wherein the carriage includes receiving means (44) for releasably receiving a shaft (50) of a golf club (48). The apparatus further includes a mat (92), golf club displacement limiters (52), sensors (84) and a golf swing plane determiner (68). The carriage allows for freedom of movement of a shaft of a golf club relative to the track, and linear movement of the shaft relative to the receiving means.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a golf teaching apparatus, and more particularly to a golf teaching apparatus for use in teaching and training a golfer to adopt a correct golf swing.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002]Golf is a popular and highly technical sport, the backbone of which is a proper swing of the club used to hit the ball. A golf swing comprises an intricate composite movement of a player's hands, wrists, arms and body, all of which must be properly sequenced and timed, failing which the contact and thus engagement of the golf ball by a golf club will be adversely affected.[0003]In practice, many aspiring golfers are substantially self-taught, and tend to learn the game of golf, and thus the golf swing, independently without any substantial expert advice from a person suitably skilled in the sport. Advice is also often sought from other aspiring or amateur, but not professional, players, which often results in incorrect techniques being adopted, and in...
