  • Patent number: 10525321
    Abstract: A hollow, angled-cylindrical golf ring training device and method provides feedback on the clubface's starting and follow-through conditions. The participant pivots the device from a resting position into a stationary starting position before performing a follow-through motion. In one embodiment, the training device provides immediate feedback of clubface location and orientation by pivoting from an ellipsoid into a more circular appearance. A participant may then sweep the device accurately into the air to a target by controlling the clubface angle of attack and follow-through alignment. Less optimized conditions cause the training device to slide over or under the clubface without accurately reaching a target in the air or in a tumbling manner. Lofted clubs may be practiced solely with the device, or a ball may be placed on top of the device for use with the driver. Practice may occur independently or in a group game setting.
