Patent number: 6695710Abstract: The training device is comprised of two vertically mounted separated rods, which are connected by two strings. The vertically erected rods have two component structures, namely a base rod subsection and a height adjustable rod subsection. Each rod comes with a rotatable hook that can be mounted in slits to hook to the two strings. The rods are equipped with a bubble level on their top to adjust for a perpendicular mounting position. The ball is placed on the ground immediately under the lower one of two strings which serve as a sightline by which the direction of the swing of the putter is defined and to which the striking face of the putter is perpendicularly maintained.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2002Date of Patent: February 24, 2004Assignee: Graphite Design International IncorporationInventor: Megumi Yamada

Publication number: 20020123392Abstract: Disclosed is a golf club shaft of sheet-wound construction that approximates the characteristics of a steel shaft. The golf club shaft is formed using metal-containing prepreg and non-metal fiber prepreg in order to provide a sheet-wound club having an elasticity index (EI) value of 3.0˜4.5 kgf·m2, a mass 80˜130 g, and a center of mass that is 45˜51% of the overall length of the shaft. The metal-containing prepreg is wrapped around a mandrel near the tip of the shaft in order to position the center of mass where desired. The non-metal fiber prepreg is wrapped around the mandrel to provide the desired EI value and overlal mass. Additional layers of metal-containing prepreg may be wrapped beyond the metal-containing prepreg wrapped near the tip in order to vary the characteristics of the golf club shaft. The golf club shaft is preferably formed on a mandrel that includes an annular recess at its tip in order to accommodate the metal-containing prepreg that is wrapped near the tip.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2002Publication date: September 5, 2002Inventor: Megumi Yamada
