Golf Club Swing Aid

Abstract

Described is a golf club swing aid, comprising a golf club having an elongated shaft and a club head disposed on one end of the shaft. The club head has an interior cavity, a face, and one or more light sources mounted in said interior cavity and flush with the club head face such that the lights are visible to the user. The lights are electrically connected to a power source positioned within the interior cavity and also to a switch that allows a user to turn the light sources on or off. During the swing, the lights positioned on the face create a faint trail of light that allows a user to visualize the swing path of the golf club. In this way, the user can see the position of the club head throughout the swing and is better able to identify any flaws or inconsistencies in his or her swing.
