A golf swing training apparatus having a circular track is made by bending an elongate X-section extrusion of an aluminum alloy to form a plurality of partial circular track sections, which are then joined end-to-end to form a full 360.degree. circular hoop. A multi-wheeled club guide cart rides on the track with a V-shaped circumference of each wheel mated to radially inner and outer opposed corner edges of the track member. The golf club includes a shaft of uniform diameter that rotates and sl...

A training device for improving the golf swing by providing immediate feedback of incorrect club positioning in the backswing and forward swing. The device senses the attitude of the club during the swing and comprises a small housing or case which attaches temporarily to the shaft of the golf club adjacent the club grip. Contained within the housing are one or more attitude sensing means, such as a mercury switch, connected in circuit to a power source, such as a battery, and an indicator means...

A self-contained laser device is removably affixed on selected golf apparatus, such as a putter. The laser device includes a laser housing having a bore in which a laser module is mounted such that the laser module emits a laser beam through an opening in the bore coincident with the axis of the bore. A switch means is within said bore for activating the laser module. A support member having an upper and a lower portion is provided. The lower portion includes structure for removably affixing and...

Disclosed is a laser aiming device removably mounted on a putter mainly including a sidewardly opened clamping member and a laser emitter. The clamping member firmly clamps on a rear edge of a head portion of the putter with screws threading from a top surface of the clamping member downward toward the rear edge of the putter. A receiving seat is also provided on the top surface of the clamping member to receive a housing of the laser emitter. The laser emitter further includes a number of batte...

A golf club putter with a laser system for practising putting, comprising: (a) a putter assembly which comprises a putter head member comprising two laser ports on an anterior putting face of the putter head member; and (b) a compact laser system comprising two or more laser units, laser holders, a laser module, an on-off program switch, and a power source; wherein each laser unit is contained within a laser holder, and the laser holders are affixed to the laser module; the laser system is opera...

The invention relates to the co-administration of an inhibitor of induced nitric oxide synthase and an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 for the treatment of inflammation and inflammatory disorders.

A swing training device includes a housing which contains a light source, a power source and a driving circuit for generating a beam, such as a laser beam. Suitable optics, such as a collimator lens and a beam splitter (such as a half-mirror or a prism) are placed in the housing in order to split a highly defined beam so that a first beam is radiated along the longitudinal axis of the golf club shaft and a second beam is radiated at roughly a 90.degree. angle with respect to the first beam. A gr...

A golf club laser alignment device for attachment to a golf club having a face. The alignment device includes a mounting bracket supporting a laser assembly above the face of a golf club for properly aligning a golf club. The mounting bracket includes a distal end adapted for attachment to the face of a golf club and a proximal end supporting the laser assembly. The device is further provided with a laser assembly including lateral adjustment rings permitting the laser assembly to be selectively...

This invention is a method for forming hypohalous acid in a mass transfer device. The method comprises: (1) feeding into the device a stream of caustic solution comprising at least one alkali or alkaline earth metal of a hydroxide, oxide, hypohalite, bicarbonate, or carbonate; (2) feeding a stream comprising halogen gas into the device; (3) reacting at least some of the halogen gas with the caustic solution to form a solution containing hypohalous acid; (4) desorbing the hypohalous acid from the...

A putting aid includes a clamp for mounting the putting aid on the shaft of a putter and a dotted line projector mounted on the clamp for adjustment relative to the contact surface of the putter so that the dotted line is projected perpendicular to the contact surface. The dotted line projector includes a bright light source, such as a laser diode, a power source and the necessary optical elements to generate and project a line of dots on the putting surface extending generally perpendicular to ...
