A training device useful with a putter having a head and a shaft extending from the head has a sight line, which may be delineated by a taut string, and two rails for guiding the shaft as the putter is swung through a limited range defined by the rails. The limited range includes an intermediate position, in which the head of the putter is positioned in a lowermost position, a subrange of back-swing positions, in which the head of the putter is raised from the lowermost position, and a subrange ...

A guide for improving a golfer's stance and swing includes an elongated hollow member, an elongated insert member, and a connector. In golf-practice configuration, the hollow member and the insert member cross each other at 90 degrees and are adjustable relative to each other for different ball placement. In a storage configuration, the insert member is removed from the connector and slid and latched into an interior space of the hollow member. The hollow member and the insert member are prefera...

A golf putting aid is provided that includes first and second attachment structures. Upper and lower alignment members are each disposed between and attached to the attachment structures. The alignment members are also vertically aligned to define a vertical plane which is perpendicular to a putting surface. The putting aid also includes at least one longitudinal support member disposed between and fixedly attached to the attachment structures, and a target attached to the first attachment struc...

A golf swing training device for improving the swing of a golfer. The device includes a base block with a plurality of elongate guide rods extending therefrom whose tips demarcate the proper path of a head of a golf club when swinging the golf club at the golf ball. A spaced apart pair of generally rectangular stabilizing legs are outwardly extended from the distal face of the base block. The stabilizing legs each are positioned adjacent the bottom side of the base block such that the lower port...

A lie board used for fitting golf clubs to golfers having a crested portion. In one embodiment the upper surface of the lie board is curved convexly with respect to the lower surface of the lie board. The crested portion can include the entire lie board, or only the portion where contact between the sole of the club and the board is anticipated. The crested portion can have curvature in only a single direction, or it can be curved in orthogonal directions to produce an essentially dome-shaped li...

The present invention provides a three-piece solid golf ball having excellent flight performance and good shot feel when hit by an iron club, and, excellent controllability and good shot feel when hit by a driver. The present invention relates to a three-piece solid golf ball including a core, an intermediate layer formed on the core, and a cover covering the intermediate layer, wherein the core has a JIS-C surface hardness of 65 to 83 and a deformation of 2.8 to 5.3 mm when applying an initial ...

A concrete cooling tower shell design made from a minimum number of precast factory-made parts. The shell is fabricated from three basic precast prestressed concrete building elements; namely: wall panels, T-beams, and louver posts. The wall panels and louver posts are positioned above a foundation to define the walls of the tower. The T-beams are positioned above the louver posts and wall panels to form the top deck of the tower. The T-beams have spray nozzle openings formed therein and have a ...
