Pro low putting system

Abstract

A golf putting practice aid has a plurality of supports and a cross bar that serves as a stroke guide for shot set-up and aiming purposes as well as maintaining putter head height below cross bar and to set the distance of the allowed backswing. The supports can come in various sizes depending on the method of intended practice. The supports are adjustable in position and removable from the cross bar to minimize storage space needed. The cross bar includes an elongated guide bar disposed in parallel alignment with the longitudinal axis of the intended stroke path for guiding pendulum movement of a putter during execution of a putting stroke. The cross bar and one are marked with numbers and marks for indicating back swing stroke range and follow-through stroke range. These marks can be used or the cross bar can be rotated 180 degrees to practice without the stroke length markings as a guide.

1 . A golf putting training apparatus comprising:
 a guide rail having a rail cross section;   two supports each for being adjustably disposed on said guide rail, said supports being arches each defining a respective gap, each said respective gap being large enough for a golf ball to pass therethrough.   
     
     
         2 . The golf putting training apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said supports each have a respective female feature with a further cross section said cross section matching said rail cross section and allowing said supports to slide along said guide rail. 
     
     
         3 . The golf putting training apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said guide rail is provided with a linear scale or gauge marked thereon, said scale or gauge for setting a defined distance between said supports. 
     
     
         4 . The golf putting training apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said supports have a V-shaped profile along an extent of said supports, said V-shaped profile allowing said supports to be nested within one another for storage purposes. 
     
     
         5 . The golf putting training apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said guide rail and said supports have physical characteristics of being produced by injection molding. 
     
     
         6 . The golf putting apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a further support for being adjustably disposed on said guide rail, said further support being an arch serving as a target for a golf ball struck by the user of the apparatus. 
     
     
         7 . The golf putting apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein said arch has a gap size that is more narrow than each said respective gap. 
     
     
         8 . The golf putting training apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said cross section of said guide rail is circular or oval, said supports each having a respective circular or oval opening. 
     
     
         9 . The golf putting training apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein each said circular or oval opening is disposed on a centerline of said supports. 
     
     
         10 . The golf putting training apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said supports have a height that results in an underside of said guide rail being disposed at a height of at least two inches when the putting training apparatus is placed on a surface. 
     
     
         11 . The golf putting practice training apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein each said respective gap is defined by an open distance between free ends of said arches. 
     
     
         12 . The golf putting apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein each said respective gap is four inches.
