Publication number: 20050148403Abstract: The invention comprises a device for dual action level that allows the user to see when his aim or club holding may be out of level in two planes. The device consists of a main housing, incorporating a level, which is affixed to the putter shaft on or near the grip. The device is composed of two main members connected via a hinge. The two units are described as a level liquid chamber component unit and a putter shaft clamp unit. The level is attached to the shaft through the means of a simple grip clamp encased in the plastic housing. The invention is designed to be removed and reattached easily and without need for frequent adjustment or calibration. The invention simultaneously addresses four common problems for golfers: head angle, lie angle and swing, and inconsistent and off-center impact points. The device can be used indoors or outdoors and with or without a ball.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2004Publication date: July 7, 2005Inventors: John Fiegener, Paul Demkowski, Michael Tintsman
