Golf club pointing aid

Abstract

A golf club pointing device to aid in aligning and developing a better putting stroke is disclosed. The golf club pointing aid simply attaches to a golfer's putting shaft by clamping means which allow the pointing aid to slide a positioning rod having a pointer attached to a location centered over the “sweet spot” of the putter and at an adjustable angle to the putter face. To practice and perfect a good putting stroke, the golfer keeps the pointer centered over the middle of the golf ball during the backward movement of the putter and also during the forward movement of the putter. When properly executed, the putter face will contact the golf ball in the same position as originally aligned. The result is that with practice, a consistent putting stroke may be developed with improved results in making putts.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A golf club pointing aid for attachment to golf club shaft, comprising:
 a pair of mating block sections that form a main body assembly;   a thumb screw combination for gripping and tightening said pair of mating blocks using a tension spring located between said pair of mating block sections; and   an adjustable pointer attached to said mating block sections wherein said adjustable pointer is located to be centered over the “sweet spot” of the putter and at an adjustable angle to the putter face.   
     
     
         2 . The golf club pointing aid according to  claim 1 , wherein said pair of blocks further defining a pair of passageways providing appropriate threaded communication means said thumb screw combination. 
     
     
         3 . The golf club pointing aid according to  claim 1 , wherein loosening or tightening said thumb screw combination allows the golf aid to be positioned anywhere along the length of the club shaft. 
     
     
         4 . The golf club pointing aid according to  claim 1 , wherein said adjustable pointer is formed by two sections of bars which are screwed together using a pair of washers. 
     
     
         5 . The golf club pointing aid according to  claim 1 , wherein a pointer holder defining an aperture in which said adjustable pointer is assembled and located. 
     
     
         6 . The golf club pointing aid according to  claim 1 , wherein said pointer runs parallel along a side of said block assembly. 
     
     
         7 . The golf club pointing aid according to  claim 1 , wherein a pointer bar assembly is gripped by an annular passageway defined by a groove in one of said block sections for holding and aligning said pointer. 
     
     
         8 . The golf club pointing aid according to  claim 1 , wherein said pointer bar is rotatably and axially adjusted in relation to by sliding along an annular grooved passageway so that the length of said pointer bar is properly positioned over the club head 
     
     
         9 . The golf club pointing aid according to  claim 1 , wherein the golfer lines up said pointer with the center of gravity or “sweet spot” of the clubface. 
     
     
         10 . A golfing aid that attaches to a club shaft using clamping means and is adjustable in two ( 2 ) areas for aligning a club shaft and head for proper striking of a golf ball.
