  • Patent number: 5961392
    Abstract: A golf practice aid which uses a pressure-sensitive double-sided tape for removably attaching the aid to the club face of prior art club without noticeably changing the characteristics of the club. The practice aid preferably includes a metal base, which at its center has a circular ball striking platform which is raised from the base by means of a beveled edge and, at each end thereof, a raised, linear, triangular, alignment rail. When properly stroked with the club, the ball hits on the circular striking platform thereby causing the golf ball to go in a straight line in the direction of the target. When the golf ball is improperly stroked it strikes on the beveled edge surface and is turned away from the target.
