Golf swing alignment system

Abstract

A golf swing alignment system having a base rod and a centering rod that extends primarily perpendicular from the base rod, to allow a golfer to center themselves with the ball and the target. Blocks of different shapes and sizes allow the rods to connect. Additional rods are provided in some embodiments to be used for other alignment purposes, for example: a support rod and a backswing rod to assess backswing; a support rod and a follow-through rod to assess follow-through; a support rod and an inside/outside rod to assess inside-out or outside-in swing; two support rods and two hip sway rods to assess hip sway during a swing.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A golf aid comprising, in combination; a series of alignment rods and a number of blocks with machined holes to allow rods and golf tee's to pass through to allow the rods and blocks to be assembled into different configurations to assist the golfer in developing a proper golf swing. 
     
     
         2 . The golf aid of  claim 1 , said further comprising; when two of the said alignment rods are assembled with one 90 degree block, the 90 degree block could be placed in the center of the shot path rod, connected to one rod placed in the center of the golfer's legs, this will give the golfer a proper target line and a center ball placement. ( FIG. 9A ) 
     
     
         3 . The golf aid of  claim 2 , said further comprising; when four said alignment rods are assembled with two 90 degree blocks, one angle block, one rod placed on the shot path, one rod at the center of the golfers stance, one rod placed to the right of the golfers foot and one rod placed vertical to the rod at the right of the golfers foot, using the one angle block, this will assist the golfer in detecting hip sway during the golf swing. ( FIG. 9B ) 
     
     
         4 . The golf aid of  claim 3 , said further comprising; when six of the said alignment rods are assembled with three 90 degree blocks and two angle blocks, one rod on shot path, one rod at center of stance, one rod at the left and one rod at the right of the golfers feet, two rods installed vertically in the angle blocks at 50,60,70,or 90 degrees, by using the machined holes in the angle blocks, this set-up is used to check shot path, ball position, backswing and follow through in the golf swing.( FIG. 9C ) 
     
     
         5 . The golf aid of  claim 4 , said further comprising; when the rods and blocks are assembled as described in line 4, and two rods, two 90 degree blocks are added, one horizontally and one vertically on the opposite side of the shot path rod away from the golfer, as shown in  FIG. 9E , the set-up will check shot path, ball position, back swing, follow through and inside to outside swing path. 
     
     
         6 . The golf aid of  claim 5 , said further comprising; the two rods and two 90 degree blocks which were added in  claim 5  are now set-up on the same side of the shot path as the golfer, so that the vertical rod will detect an outside to inside path in the golf swing. ( FIG. 9F )
