  • a golf club having a head at least the upper portion of which is constructed of a substantially transparent material and encasing an object substantially having the same shape as a golf ball when viewed in plan, wherein a player using said golf club is able to align the golf ball to be hit with the object encased in said head.
  • Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of a golf club of a preferred embodiment
  • Fig. 2 is a detailed side elevational view of the head of the golf club of Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 3 is a plan view of the head of Fig. 2 aligned with a golf ball
  • Fig. 4 is a front elevational view of the head of Fig. 3
  • Fig. 5 is a side elevational view of a golf club head of an alternative embodiment.
  • the golf club 1 as illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4 comprises a head 2 and a shaft 3 having a grip 4.
  • the head 2 has a metal base 5 to which the shaft 3 is connected.
  • the body 6 of tt . head 2 is made from a transparent epoxy resin.and covers the base 5 in its entirety.
  • the body 6 of the head 2 envelops the lower section 7 of the shaft 3.
  • a hemi-spherical object 8 which has the same diameter as a golf ball 9 illustrated in Fig. 3.
  • the object 8 is located within the head 2 aligned with the optimum point of contact of the golf ball 9.
  • Fig. 5 Illustrated in Fig. 5 is an alternative embodiment of the present invention whereby the golf club 11 has a head 12 and a shaft 13.
  • the lower section 17 of the shaft 13 extends into the head 12 which is constructed of a body 16 of trans ⁇ parent epoxy resin or perspex.
  • an object 18 Encased within the body 16 is an object 18 having a hemi-spherical shape with the same diameter as a golf ball. Once again the object 18 is located adjacent the optimum striking position on the face 20 of the head 12.
  • the golf clubs 1, 11 When in use, the golf clubs 1, 11 are aligned with the intended direction in which the player wishes the ball to travel so that both the golf ball 9 and the object 8, 18 lie in this direction. This enables the player to strike the golf ball 9 at th_ optimum location on the face 10, 20 of the head 2 or 12 as well as striking the ball in the correct direction. It has been found that aligning the golf club face and the direction in which the ball 9 is to travel is simpler if there is a reference direction in the club. This is carried out by aligning the golf ball and the object 8, 18. This is similar to aligning two billiard ball in billiards.

La tête (2) comporte une base (5) et renferme un corps hémisphérique (8) ayant le même diamètre qu'une balle de golf (9). Le corps hémisphérique (8) est adjacent à la position de frappe optimum sur la face (10) de la tête (2). La base (5) à laquelle on peut fixer la tige (3) peut être en métal. Un joueur se préparant à faire un putt peut aligner le corps sphérique (8) avec la balle de golf (9) à frapper.
