  • Patent number: 5417427
    Abstract: A golf training device including a captured tee having a lower end pivotally attached to a frame and an upper end attached to a target golf ball. The tee is movable between a vertical position wherein the target golf ball is positioned to be struck by a golf club, and a generally horizontal position wherein the ball strikes an impact surface. A base member such as mesh screen overlies the impact surface, and a flexible imaging-type material such as carbonless imaging paper overlies the base member. When the target golf ball strikes the flexible imaging material, a circular imprint is formed on the imaging material and the diameter of the imprint is indicative of the force applied to the ball and therefor the distance the stroke would drive a conventional golf ball.
