DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENT.
The invention will be described in conjunction with a golf club, prior to a golf swing.
The golfing aid comprises of a thickened rod with one end being slim and concave. (fig 1) This slim and concave part of the golfing aid slips in between the golfer's hands/grip and the golf club he is currently holding. It's slim and concave part was made to give the golfer a feel of the true art in gripping a golf club. (fig2) The thickened end of the rod continues past the golf elongated club, which therefore makes the club longer/extended. (fig3) This now elongated end touches the left hip of the right-handed golfer. This enables the golfer's hand in front of the ball or the well known fact in golf is maintaining a straight wrist throughout the swing motion. Also this has set up the golfer's ball position automatically. (fig4a) The next drawing (fig 4b) shows a comparision of faulty set up if drawing (fig 4a). Upon half backswing, The golfer checks the elongated club/golfing aid parallel to his feet, (fig5a) for easy guidance and maintaining the truest backswing. (Fig5b) He continues his three-quarter backswing and sees the golfing aid pointing at the ball. At this stage, with golfing aid aiming at the ball, the plane of the swing is"on". (fig6a) The golfer is coiled up on his backswing, he is confident to release himself at the ball. (fig6b) The golfing aid's final ambition of the swing is to flex after the impact (fig7a) then (fig7b) which enables the golfer a solid impact, and enables the golfer to fully complete his swing. (fig8) DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
To gain the best knowledge out of these drawings, follow the figures (fig) in order.
