Golf ball markings for 3-dimensional putting alignment
Abstract
Alignment markings on a golf ball for 3 dimensional putting alignment comprise a first, second and third dimensional alignment markings. The first dimensional alignment marking facilitates a vertical alignment of player's eyes along the centerline of golf ball vertical to ground. The second dimensional alignment marking facilitates a horizontal alignment of the ball roll direction along a ball-to-target line. The third dimensional alignment marking facilitates a horizontal alignment of putter's striking face in a direction perpendicular to the ball-to-target line. The first dimensional alignment marking consists of a circumferential in a form of a circle. The second and third dimensional alignment markings consist of diagonal markings in a form of two diagonal lines, intersecting each other at right angle at the centerline of the first dimensional alignment marking. The alignment markings can be represented by a combination of solid line, broken line, solid areas, and imprinted letters & numbers of manufacturer brands & data.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed:
1 . Putting alignment markings on a golf ball comprise a first, second and third dimensional alignment markings;
said first dimensional alignment marking serving for a vertical alignment of a player's eyes-to-ball line along a centerline of said golf ball extending upward vertically from the center of said golf ball; said second dimensional alignment marking serving for a longitudinal alignment of a ball-roll direction along a ball-to-target line in a horizontal plan; said third dimensional alignment marking serving for a parallel alignment of a putter's striking surface along a direction perpendicular to said ball-to-target line in a horizontal plan;
2 . Putting alignment markings of claim 1 , herein:
said first dimensional alignment marking defined as a circumferential marking in a form a circle, having an alignment method consists of positioning a centerline of said circumferential marking vertical to ground, positioning player's eyes above said golf ball near a centerline of said golf ball vertical to ground, and repositioning player's eyes until a top view of said golf ball revealing two concentric circles, one represented by said circumferential marking, and another represented by said largest circle of said golf ball; said second and third dimensional alignment markings defined as a pair of diagonal markings in a form of two diagonal lines intersecting each other at right angle at said centerline of said circumferential marking, having an alignment method consists of positioning said centerline of said circumferential marking vertical to ground, positioning one of said diagonal line in a direction along said ball-to-target line for serving said longitudinal alignment of a ball-roll direction along said ball-to-target line in a horizontal plan, and positioning another of said diagonal lines in a direction perpendicular to said ball-to-target line for serving said parallel alignment of a putter's striking surface along the direction perpendicular to said ball-to-target line in a horizontal plan.
3 . The golf ball alignment markings of claim 2 , wherein said second and third dimensional alignment markings are represented by two diagonal solid lines intersecting each other at right angle at said centerline of said first dimensional alignment marking.
4 . The golf ball alignment markings of claim 2 , wherein said second and third dimensional alignment markings are represented by two diagonal broken lines intersecting each other at right angle at said centerline of said first dimensional alignment marking.
5 . The golf ball alignment markings of claim 2 , wherein said second and third dimensional alignment markings are represented by distinguishable sold areas, creating an image of two diagonal lines intersecting each other at right angle at said centerline of said first dimensional alignment marking.
6 . The golf ball alignment markings of claim 2 , wherein said second and third dimensional alignment markings are represented by imprinted letters & numbers, creating an image of two diagonal lines intersecting each other at right angle at said centerline of said first dimensional alignment marking.
7 . The golf ball alignment markings of claim 2 , wherein said second and third dimensional alignment markings are represented by a combination of solid lines, broken lines, solid areas, and imprinted letters & numbers, creating an image of two diagonal lines intersecting each other at right angle at said centerline of said first dimensional alignment marking.
8 . The golf ball alignment markings of claim 2 , wherein said first dimensional alignment marking is represented by a solid line circle.
9 . The golf ball alignment markings of claim 2 , wherein said first dimensional alignment marking is represented by a broken line circle.
10 . The golf ball alignment markings of claim 2 , wherein said first dimensional alignment marking is represented by a solid area, creating an image of a circle.
11 . The golf ball alignment markings of claim 2 , wherein said first dimensional alignment marking is represented by imprinted letters & numbers, creating an image of a circle.
12 . The golf ball alignment marking of claim 2 , wherein said first dimensional alignment marking is represented by a combination of solid line, broken line, solid area, and imprinted letters & numbers, creating an image of a circle.
13 . The golf ball alignment markings of claim 2 , wherein plural numbers of said first, second and third dimensional alignment markings are provided.
14 . The golf ball alignment markings of claim 2 , wherein said second and third dimensional alignment markings are bound within said first dimensional alignment marking.
15 . The golf ball alignment markings of claim 2 , Wherein said second and third dimensional alignment markings are extended beyond said first dimensional alignment marking.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
