Abstract: Decals and process for transfer of images to substrates. A paper base is provided, of which at least one side has been sized and one side only has been treated with pigmented adhesive coating, whereby the pores throughout essentially the whole of the paper's cross section have been filled and the coating and the paper firmly bonded together. The uncoated side is not substantially porous and is essentially free from filler material. An image and a plastic film, in either order, are applied on the non-coated surface and not penetrating the same, the said paper when wet being easily releasable from the film/image, from which it may be removed in essentially one piece or a few large pieces, thanks to the bonding effect of the sizing and the pigmented coating. The resulting decal can be applied to substrates in various ways.

Abstract: A golf training device and method giving instantaneous feedback of the quality of the shot. Two opposite, substantially parallel walls are provided between which the golfer stands with his club and a light-weight training ball. Each wall is marked with a grid on the side facing the other wall. The golfer strikes the ball with a driver or approach club towards the front wall. By observing, visually or electronically, where the ball strikes the wall or walls and the floor, the direction and distance of flight are ascertained, against which can be compared subsequent shots in order to determine consistency and improvement. The device and method may be used for various competitions.
