Golf training accessory

Abstract

A golf training accessory has a body that defines at least two elongated ball striking surfaces having different widths, each width being less than approximately 10 mm. An attachment arrangement attaches the body to a head of a putter in manner in which either one of the ball striking surfaces is coincident with an intended strike zone of the putter head. The attachment arrangement is configured to permit a user to select a ball striking surface to be coincident with the intended strike zone.

1 . A golf training accessory, which comprises
 a body that defines at least two elongated ball striking surfaces having different widths, each width being less than approximately 10 mm; and   an attachment arrangement for attaching the body to a head of a putter in manner in which either one of the ball striking surfaces is coincident with an intended strike zone of the putter head, the attachment arrangement being configured to permit a user to select a ball striking surface to be coincident with the intended strike zone.   
     
     
         2 . A golf training accessory as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the attachment arrangement allows the body to be attached to the putter head in a manner in which the selected ball striking surface is in a plane that is parallel to a face of the putter head. 
     
     
         3 . A golf training accessory as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the body includes at least three ball striking surfaces so that a user can adjust a difficulty level a number of times corresponding with the number of surfaces. 
     
     
         4 . A golf training apparatus as claimed in  claim 3 , in which one ball striking surface has a width of between about 6 mm to 9 mm, another ball striking surface has a width of between about 3 mm and 6 mm, and another ball striking surface has a width of between about 1 mm and 3 mm. 
     
     
         5 . A golf training accessory as claimed in  claim 3 , in which the body is hexagonal in cross section to define six generally rectangular major faces. 
     
     
         6 . A golf training accessory as claimed in  claim 1 , in which the attachment arrangement includes a magnet that is magnetically attachable to a putter head that is formed from a ferromagnetic material. 
     
     
         7 . A golf training accessory as claimed in  claim 6 , in which the body itself is magnetized to stick to a putter face, so providing the attachment arrangement. 
     
     
         8 . A golf training accessory as claimed in  claim 7 , in which the body is in the form of a permanent magnet, such as a rare-earth magnet. 
     
     
         9 . A golf training accessory as claimed in  claim 6 , in which the body has a length that is sufficient to permit the body to project beyond a top line of the head so that a user can simply grip the projecting portion and lever the body off the putter head. 
     
     
         10 . A golf training accessory as claimed in  claim 9 , in which the body has a length of between about 20 mm and 40 mm. For example, the body may have a length of between about 28 mm to 38 mm.
