  • Tethered golf ball meter
    Patent number: 4014552
    Abstract: A tethered golf ball is attached to a meter which registers the distance and direction of the expected travel of the golf ball. The distance of travel is measured as a function of the pull on an elastic. The direction of travel is registered by the position of a horizontal arm pivoted about a vertical axis. The tether is slidably attached to this arm. A locking arrangement is provided to prevent ball rebound from changing the angular reading on the meter.
