  • Patent number: 4919433
    Abstract: A portable putt training device capable of use indoors or out and useful in training for two different types of putting strokes, e.g. a pendulum style using predominantly wrist motion, and a flat or horizontal stroke using forearm motion with little wrist flexing. The device has a vertically adjustable post in a base which the user can straddle, a swinging guide arm pivoted to the base and extending upward to or beyond the top of the post, a guide track member fixed to the post constraining the guide arm to swing in a plane, and a club retainer pivotally attached to the upper end of the guide arm. The club retainer can also be pivotally attached to the upper end of the post for training of wrist action. In an alternate embodiment the post and base are replaced by a tripod which has a crossbar connecting the bottom end of two legs of the tripod, and having the low pivotal mounting for the guide arm.
