HeadWatcher^TM
An Apparatus To Aid Golfers Achieve A Consistent Golf Swing

Background of the Invention

Golf is a challenging game that requires years of practice to master. Golfers of all skill levels hire professional instructors to coach them through the fundamental aspects of the game and to help them refine their golf swing. One point that is stressed by all golf instructors is the importance of keeping your head in a steady position before and after the ball is struck. Though golfers are instructed not to move their head before and after their shots, it is often difficult for golfers to follow this simple instruction.

There are several prior arts that help the golfer reduce excessive head movement. However, most are expensive and bulky, and cannot be used on the driving range, fairway, and putting green.


Summary of the Present Invention

The HeadWatcherTM is a portable device that is the size of a keyless-entry car security system and weighs only 0.6 oz. It can be used on the driving range, fairway, and putting green. Placed only a few inches away from the ball, the HeadWatcherTM picks up the sound of the ball-club head impact and immediately flashes a red light. Golfers can keep their head down during their swing by waiting to catch this light before looking up to see their shot. Such a tool helps golfers improve the consistency and quality of their golf swing.
