BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Although the swinging action in the swinging sports looks
simple, it actually requires many necessary standard swing postures
to perform a perfect and accurate swing action. There are many
important aspects required to produce a perfect swing action
according to experts in the art. First, extreme care should be
taken to provide for a proper grip. Second, the posture should be
maintained level throughout the swing with the knees sometimes
bent. Third, the backswing should be perfect, for example: if a
baseball player over-backswings the bat, he or she will not see the
ball coming to him or her, If a golf player does the same thing,
his or her head will turn and cannot see the ball any more, and how
could a player hit a ball that he or she can not see. Fourth, the
downswing should be powerful and accurate using the two hands
because hitting the ball or hockey puck with one hand is not strong
enough. Fifth, the ball or puck impact should be on the right
place, so that the ball or puck will be at the center of the face
of the club, hockey stick or bat etc., while said club, hockey
stick or bat etc. is exactly perpendicular to the optimal swinging
plane. Sixth, the follow-through should be all the way and in the
direction of the intended destination of the ball or puck. Seventh,
the player must stop his or her swing at the right time and not
over swing the club, hockey stick or bat etc. otherwise the player
will injure himself.
[0004] Perhaps the most important aspect required to perform an
accurate swing action in swinging sports is for the player to swing
and hit the ball, or puck in the optimal swinging plane. For
example, the optimal swinging plane for a swinging sport such as
golf, baseball and cricket etc. is constructed by the connection of
three points between the left and right shoulders of the player and
the point of his or her two hands holding the club, hockey stick or
bat etc. If the player can swing the club, hockey stick or bat etc.
to enable the club, hockey stick or bat etc. head to travel along
the same optimal swinging plane each time, the player's swing
action will be very accurate and perfect which will enable the
player to hit the ball to travel exactly towards the target. On the
other hand, if the player fails to hit the ball in the optimal
swinging plane, the ball will be hit to travel into an unexpected
destination. If the player's two hands are straight and fully
extended it will help keep the optimal swinging plane intact,
however, most of players, especially in baseball and cricket bend
their arms at the elbows. This happens because they put the bat
behind their head to start swinging which make it impossible to
keep an optimal swinging plane intact. The dilemma is that all the
players, professionals and amateurs alike, of swinging sports such
as golf, baseball and cricket etc. cannot keep the optimal swinging
plane intact during their swing. This happens because when the
player starts moving the club, hockey stick or bat etc. over his or
her head the left hand of the right handed player for example will
prevent the player's two hands from being straight, and force the
left and right hand to bend over the head. This will force all the
players without exception to move the head of the club, hockey
stick or bat etc. in a radical, spiral, uncontrollable and shaking
motion away from the optimal swinging plane. When the player is
going for his or her downswing and their arm becomes extended
(straight) they will try very hard to go back to the optimal
swinging plane, sadly most of them fail to do so resulting of
hitting the ball astray.
[0005] The player of a swinging sport may injure himself if he or
she did not pay attention and stay alert at all times and be
careful with his or her swing. For Example, one day my friend told
me while we were practicing golf in a driving range, to watch out
and not to hit the ground or the ball at the wrong place or I will
injure myself. I did not pay attention and I hit the ball at the
far edge of the golf club face and suddenly the club was violently
twisted in my hands and many ligament of my right wrist was torn.
It took me over four months to heal from this injury. Thank God
this happened to me, because it inspired me to invent this
invention. Many golf, baseball and cricket players go home with a
sore wrist or twisted leg after playing or practicing. It ranges
from minor to severe injuries such as twisted arms, legs and backs,
etc. Studies in the United States show that between 40 and 50
percent of all golfers, professionals and amateurs alike, suffer
from back problems. Back injury is the most common golf injury,
caused mostly due to over-swinging. Said injuries force many
players to stop playing the sport and tell other people not to play
it. This will result into a bad name and ruin the reputation of the
sport. According to statistics, one unsatisfied person is equal to
50 satisfied ones, because the unsatisfied person will go around
spreading the bad gospel to 50 other people.
[0006] Swinging sports are very old sports. Thousands of devices
were created to improve the games, however, the players of such
sports still insist on holding the club, hockey stick or bat etc.
with his or her two hands, where the two hands are close to each
other. I think this bad habit did not change after all these years
because the player of said sports needed to hit the ball with his
or her two hands so that he or she can hit it strong enough to play
the game. Hitting the ball with one hand cannot produce the desired
force needed to play the game. On the other hand, holding said
club, hockey stick or bat etc. with the two hands and near each
other does not only make the game difficult and impossible to play
as mentioned above, but also makes said club, hockey stick or bat
etc. sway and swing in uncontrolled radical directions and almost
never in the optimal swinging plane. No matter how many hours a
player will train for the swinging games he or she may never
achieve any progress at all. As a matter of fact, some players keep
practicing the swinging sport in an incorrect way, such that their
body becomes used to it, resulting in injury. Such hopeless effort
forced many players to abandoned the sport and tell other people to
forget about it and not to even try to play it. This drives many
people away from such sports.
[0007] Chipping the ball in golf is very difficult. Chipping refers
to hitting the ball with a club that has a tilted head to hit the
underneath the ball to make it travel high in the air. First the
player has to choose the correct club number with the correct
tilted angle for the distance, second, the player must put the ball
in the middle distance between his or her legs because he or she is
holding the club with his or her two hands and the only chance that
he or she may hit the ball in the optimal swinging plane is to put
the said ball in the middle distance between his legs. Third, the
player will go for his upper swing, which will throw him or her
away from the optimal swinging plane as we described above. Fourth,
the player will go for his or her downswing and make sure that he
or she will chip the ball at the right spot under the ball to make
it go up into the air to the correct height and the correct
distance. The chance of chipping the ball correctly in golf is very
small and almost impossible to do, no matter how much the player
will practice his or her chipping he or she will chip the ball in a
different way and at a different spot for the same distance and
never get it correctly. The player needs a better method to chip
the ball.
[0008] Putting in golf is also very difficult for all players
because it is very hard for the player to swing the putter in the
exact direction he wanted. First the player may stand behind the
ball and line it up and then he may kneel down and use his putter
to line up the direction for the second time. Then he stands and
swings the putter to practice away from the ball and parallel to
the ball. Then he takes one step ahead, makes sure that the ball in
the middle distance between his legs and puts the face of the
putter very near to the ball and one final time he swings his head
to make sure that it will go straight to the hall and hit the ball.
In most cases the ball will go astray. The golf player needs an
accurate and reliable way to test swinging the putter in the
direction of the hall several times before finally hitting the
ball.
[0009] Swinging sport such as golf require a golf club set which is
heavy to carry and expensive to buy. The player needs to use fewer
clubs to play the game and make it affordable to buy and play the
game.
[0010] Swinging sports such as golf having hard time attracting
young kids to join them. You will find most of the players are
adults and big portions of them are seniors. The reasons are very
clear. The younger people are not interested. We need to make the
game more interesting and exciting for the young people to make
them play the sport.
[0011] Also in swinging sports such as tennis, racquetball, and
squash etc. the player uses only one hand to hit the ball while the
other hand is doing nothing during the game. However, hitting the
ball with one hand is not strong enough. When the ball is coming to
the left side of the right handed player of tennis for example,
sometimes the player suddenly holds the racket with his or her two
hands and hits the ball resulting in hitting the ball much
stronger. However, with all the problem of holding the racket with
the two hands near each other mentioned above, the ball probably
will go astray. Holding the racket with two hands is very much
needed especial in hitting the surf in tennis to hit the ball
stronger and make it travel faster, providing that we can find a
solution to the obstacles mentioned above.
OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0012] It is difficult for the average player of swinging sports to
play, practice and make a perfect swing, Therefore, it is a general
object of the invention to provide a new method and device to
enable the player to play, practice and swing in a reliable,
consistent, controlled, accurate and safe manner.
[0013] There are a host of prior swinging devices designed to
assist a player of swinging sport in performing with a consistent
and better swing. Many of such devices are impractical and do not
solve the above swinging problems. Moreover, some of them do not
provide a natural pendulum swing that goes in harmony with the
player's natural body motion. In fact some of them even restrict
the player's body from natural movements. Therefore, it is the
object of the invention to provide a method and device with a
construction to be swung in a natural pendulum manner which will
enable safe and improved swing in the optimal swinging plane or
parallel to the optimal swinging plane that will result in a
reliable, consistent, controlled, better, accurate and precise
hitting while protecting the players from injury, improve the score
and make the games more exciting and safe to play.
[0014] Most of the prior art devices are only for practicing the
swing of the swinging games. Therefore, it is another object of the
method and device of the invention not only to provide a
training-swinging device, but also to provide a new method and
device to play the games with that will increase the score and make
the games more exciting and safe to play.
[0015] The prior art of playing swinging sports often injured the
player as described above. Therefore, one of the most important
objects of the method and device of the invention is to protect the
player from any injury resulting from practicing and playing the
swinging games, especially if it is a child learning to play the
games.
[0016] The prior art does not allow the player to swing in optimal
swinging plane as describe above. Therefore, another important
object of the method and device of the invention is to provide the
player with a method and device to swing in a natural pendulum-like
way into or parallel to the optimal swinging plane. This will
result not only in making it easy for the players to perform an
accurate swing in the optimal swinging plane, but also it will
increase the score, and make the games more exciting. This will
result in making such swinging games more popular.
[0017] The prior art made it impossible for the player to maintain
a good body posture during and after the swing, therefore, another
object of the method and device of the invention is to enable the
player to easily stand straight and maintain a good body posture
throughout the swing without bending his or her knees. This will
also result in improved swinging.
[0018] The prior backswing of swinging sports such as golf,
baseball, hockey, and cricket etc. sometimes forced the player to
over swing his or her backswing, which results in not seeing the
ball or hockey puck as, mentioned above. Therefore, another object
of the method and device of the invention is to stop such over
swinging and keep the ball or hockey buck in the sight of the
player at all times so that he or she can hit the ball or hockey
buck and never miss it.
[0019] The prior downswing of swinging sports such as golf,
baseball, hockey, and cricket etc. is powerful because the player
is using his or her two hands to hit the ball or hockey buck,
however it is not accurate because the player holds said club,
hockey stick or bat etc. with his or her two hands close to each
other as described above. Therefore, another object of the method
and device of the invention is to make the player use his two hands
to hit the ball or hockey buck stronger and accurately while
solving the problem of the prior art.
[0020] The prior art of swinging sports such as golf, baseball,
hockey, and cricket etc. made it impossible to hit the ball or
hockey buck in the right place so that the ball or hockey buck will
be at the center of the face of the club, hockey stick or bat etc.,
while said face of the club, hockey stick or bat etc. is exactly
perpendicular to the optimal swinging plane. Therefore, another
object of the method and device of the invention is to easily line
up the face of the club, hockey stick or bat etc. to hit the ball
or hockey buck at the center of the said club, hockey stick or bat
etc. while the said face of the club, hockey stick or bat etc. is
perfectly perpendicular to the optimal swinging plane, which will
result in hitting the ball or hockey buck exactly in the right
place and solve the problem of the prior art.
[0021] In the prior art of swinging sports such as golf, baseball,
hockey, and cricket etc. the follow-through swing is hard to do in
the optimal swinging plane because the player's two hands bend as
he or she goes for the follow-through swing which will result in
making the face of the club, hockey stick or bat etc. move in
radical directions making the ball or hockey buck go astray.
Therefore, another object of the method and device of the invention
is to make the follow-through swing not only to go all the way in
the direction of the intended destination but also in the optimal
swinging plane.
[0022] The prior art of swinging sports such as golf, baseball,
hockey, and cricket etc. made it very difficult for the player to
stop his or her swing at the right time and not to over swing the
club, hockey stick or bat etc. which results in injuring himself or
herself. Therefore, another important object of the method and
device of the invention is to enable the player to stop swinging at
the right time and distance with ease that will protect the player
from any injury during his or her playing or practicing the
swinging games.
[0023] The prior art of swinging sports such as golf, baseball,
hockey, and cricket etc. forced player to bend his or her hands
when he or she swings the club, hockey stick or bat etc. over his
or her head in his or her backswing which results in a radical
movement of the face of the club, hockey stick or bat etc. away
from the optimal swinging plane. Therefore, another object of the
method and device of the invention is to solve the prior art
backswing problem by keeping the hands of the player straight at
all times and never bend the hands when moving said club, hockey
stick or bat etc. over his or her head. This will result in a
perfect backswing, which in turn produces a perfect hit in the
optimal swinging plane, improve the score and makes the game
controllable.
[0024] The prior art of swinging sports such as golf, baseball,
hockey, and cricket etc. makes the club, hockey stick or bat etc.
violently twist in the hand of the player. If such a player hits
the ball or hockey buck in the wrong place or hits the ground in
the golf game, it will result in a serous injury of his wrist, arm
or back etc. Therefore, another very important object of the method
and device of the invention is to stop such dangerous practices of
the prior art by protecting the player from said violent twist at
all times and make the game safe to play for adults and especially
for kids.
[0025] The prior art made some of the swinging games such as
baseball and golf very boring to play and watch. Therefore, another
object of the method and device of the invention is to reverse the
way people think and feel about such swinging games and make such
games exciting to play, practice, and to watch.
[0026] The prior art of playing golf forced the player to place the
ball in front or him or her and in the middle distance between his
or her legs because he or she is holding the club with his or her
two hands and the only chance that he or she may hit the ball in
the optimal swinging plane is to put the ball in the middle
distance between his or her legs. This action limits the player and
forces him or her to only hit the ball with the angle of the club
head depending on the club number, such club heads are fixed in
their tilting angle, and a limited number of clubs are available to
the player, each with a fixed tilt angle. Therefore, another object
of the method and device of the invention is to enable the player
to place the ball at any point in front of him or her between his
or her two legs which will enable the player to shoot the ball with
different angles using the same club--as if the invention added
hundreds of different club heads with hundreds of different tilt
angles for the player to shoot the ball with.
[0027] The prior art of playing golf requires the player to have a
set of golf clubs. Such a set is expensive, which stops many people
from playing golf. Therefore, another object of the method and the
device of the invention is to enable the player to use fewer clubs
to play golf because he does not need all of the standard clubs
used for the prior art since he can control the tilting angle to
hit the ball as we described above. This will allow the player to
play golf using fewer clubs, make the sport more affordable for
many people to play and increase the number of golf player around
the World.
[0028] The prior art of playing golf requires the player to have a
set of golf clubs and such a set is very heavy to carry. The golf
player often needs a Caddy cart to put the set on it and pull it
while playing or in many cases requires a second person (a helper)
called simply the Caddy or the Caddy boy to carry the set of clubs.
The Caddy is slowing down the game and making it often very
difficult for one person to go and play by himself or herself
dragging such a heavy load, Therefore, another object of the method
and the device of the invention it to eliminate the use of the
Caddy in the golf sport since the player will be able to play golf
using fewer golf clubs, he or she will be able to carry them easily
by himself or herself and enjoy playing the game. This will result
in a big jump in the number of people playing golf.
[0029] The prior art made chipping the golf ball almost impossible
to do as described above which forced many players to forget about
the game. Therefore, another object of the method and device of the
invention is to provide the player with a device that will help him
or her to do a more controllable and more precise chipping of the
golf ball.
[0030] The prior art made it very hard for the golf player to do
his or her putting. It is very hard for the player to line up the
swinging action of the Putter and hit the ball to go into the
direction of the ball if he or she does not practice such a
swinging action several times before he or she does it. Therefore,
another object of the method and device of the invention is to give
the golf player a more perfect swinging way to do his putting.
[0031] The prior art of swinging sports such as golf, baseball etc.
has a hard time attracting young people to join the sports, because
it is difficult to play and not exciting to make them want to play
it. Therefore, another object of the method and device of the
invention is to make the game more exciting for the young people to
join the sport, and we make the swinging sports more popular.
[0032] The prior art made many players of swinging sport hopeless
to achieve any progress in their training or playing the games to
become professional one day. Therefore, another object of the new
method and device of the invention is to give such players a new
hope and make them reach a higher level of training and playing the
games.
[0033] The prior art of swinging sports such as hockey made the
players crash into each other or crash each other to the wall when
playing the game resulting in many injures, Therefore, another
object of the method and device of the invention is to soften the
crash between the player, stopping them from harming each other and
make hockey a safe game to play for adults and specially for
kids.
[0034] The prior art made the players of swinging sports such as
tennis, racquetball, and squash etc. hit the ball with only one
hand that held the racket. Hitting the ball with one hand is not
strong enough especially in tennis when the player is surfing.
Therefore, another object of the new method and device of the
invention is to enable such players to use their two hands to hit
the ball accurately whenever they like.
[0035] The prior art made the players of swinging sports such as
tennis, racquetball, and squash etc. hit the ball astray whenever
they held the racket with their two hands because they cannot swing
the racket in the optimal swinging plane as described above.
Therefore, another object of the method and device of the invention
is to enable such players to swing the ball into or parallel to the
optimal swinging plane when they use their two hands to hit the
ball, in a perfect way, which will result in a better score and
making the games more exciting to practice, and watch.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS AND HOW TO USE
[0108] Although described with particular reference to the drawing,
the detailed description of the preferred method and embodiments of
the invention, the claimed subject matters can be implemented in
many different shapes and types of devices.
[0109] The preferred embodiments of the invention will now be
described with reference to the accompanying figures, wherein like
numerals refer to like elements throughout. The terminology used in
the description presented herein is not intended to be interpreted
in any limited or restrictive manner simply because it is being
utilized in conjunction with a detailed description of certain
specific embodiments of the invention. Furthermore, embodiments of
the invention may include several novel features, no single one of
which is solely responsible for its desirable attributes or which
is essential to practicing the inventions herein described.
[0110] Referring to FIG. 1, there is illustrated one preferred
embodiment of the swinging device with an offset straight and solid
connecter between the two hands of a golf player in his backswing
position. The prior art forced the player to bend his or her hands
in his or her backswing, which made it impossible to hit the ball
or hockey puck in the optimal swinging plane P. Also the prior art
make the player over swing the club, hockey stick or bat etc. in
his backswing, which resulted in losing sight of the ball or hockey
puck as described above. Moreover, the prior art make the player
bend his or her knees, which resulted in bad body posture and a
radical movement of the club, hockey stick or bat etc. away from
the optimal swinging plane P. In FIG. 1 the hand that holds the
club is straight and fully extended, which will result in not only
preventing the back over swinging of the club, hockey stick or bat
etc., but also in swinging the club, hockey stick or bat etc in the
optimal swinging plane P, will result in a perfect and accurate
scores as we described above. This will solve the backswing
problems. Moreover, there is no need for the player to bend his
knees anymore, which will result in a better body posture that will
result in maintaining the swing of the face of the club, hockey
stick or bat etc in the optimal swinging plane P.
[0111] Referring to FIG. 2, there is illustrated another preferred
embodiment of the swinging device with a pipe curved and sold
connecter between the two hands of a golf player in his backswing
position. Also we can see here that the hand that holds the club is
straight and the player is not bending his knees, which will result
in not only preventing the back over-swinging but also in a perfect
body posture that will result in maintaining the swing in the
optimal swinging plane P.
[0112] Referring to FIG. 3, there is illustrated another preferred
embodiment of the swinging device with a flexible connecter between
the two hands of a golf player in his backswing position. Also we
can see here that the hand that holds the club is straight and the
player is not bending his knees, which will result in not only
preventing the back over-swinging but also in a perfect body
posture that will result in maintaining the swing in the optimal
swinging plane P, resulting in a perfect and accurate scours as
described above.
[0113] In some preferred embodiments, as illustrated in the
perspective view of FIG. 4, a swinging device having a straight,
solid, foldable and adjustable connector N where its length can be
adjusted to a desired distance to the player using any device or
method, such straight connector N is offset by a safe distance X
away from the device handles L and R to make sure that the player's
hands will not touch said connector N during swinging, left handle
L can be rotated in the optimal swinging plane P around a left hand
rotating device LHRD, wherein said left hand rotating device LHRD
is rotating around a thrust ball bearing 21, club, hockey stick or
bat etc. handle R can be held in position by a clamping device C
and both the clamping device C and the club, hockey stick or bat
etc. can be rotated in the optimal swinging plane P around a right
hand rotating device RHRD, wherein said right hand rotating device
RHRD is rotating around a thrust ball bearing 22. Swinging stopper
3 to stop the club, hockey stick or bat etc. from hurting the
player if the player over-swings. A ruler guide 28 for inserting
the ruler in and a ruler 20 is used to make sure that the face of
said club, hockey stick or bat etc. 4 is parallel to the ruler
which will make said face perpendicular to the optimal swinging
plane P.
[0114] The player can use the preferred embodiment of the swinging
device in FIG. 4 to play any swinging sport and to do a perfect
swing as follows. First the player will open the swinging device
and hold its two parts straight using the rotating hook 17. Second,
the player will adjust the total length of the connector N using
the nuts and bolts to a distance equal to or smaller than the
distance between his or her shoulders as he or she likes. Third,
the player will open the Clamping device C (see FIG. 5) and place
the club, hockey stick or bat etc. handle in it. Fourth, the player
will close the clamping device C and tighten its screws slightly.
Fifth, the player will place the ruler 20 inside the ruler guide
(groove or crack) 28 and make sure that the face of said club,
hockey stick or bat etc. 4 is 100% perpendicular to the optimal
swinging plane P by rotating said club, hockey stick or bat etc.
until the face of said club, hockey stick or bat etc. becomes
parallel to the ruler. Sixth, the player will close or tighten the
screws of the clamping device C to keep said club, hockey stick or
bat etc. fixed in its position. Seventh, the player will remove the
ruler. Eighth, the right handed player will grab the left handle L
with his or her left hand and grab the handle R of the club, hockey
stick or bat etc. with his or her right hand and start hitting the
ball or hockey puck in a perfect natural pendulum swinging way in
the optimal swinging plane P with the face of the club, hockey
stick or bat etc. 100% perpendicular to the optimal swinging plane
P, resulting in amazing score. Connector N will not touch the
player's hands during swinging because it is offset away from the
handles by a safe distance X.
[0115] The player can use the preferred embodiment of the swinging
device in FIG. 4 to do his or her golf chipping as follows; first,
the player can choose the correct club number with the preferred
tilted head angle for the distance. Second, the player will follow
all the steps mentioned above in how to use the preferred
embodiment of FIG. 4 to play any swinging sport and to do a perfect
swing. Third, the player will step ahead to the ball. Fourth, for
the right handed golf player, if the ball is in the middle distance
between the legs of the player, the player will chip the ball with
the tilted angle of the club head in the optimal swinging plane P.
Fifth, for the right handed golf player, if the ball is located
between the point of the middle distance between the player's legs
and his or her right leg, in other words the ball will be located
near or facing the right leg of the player, the player will chip
the ball with the a tilted angle less than the club head tilted
angle depending on how far the ball from the player's right leg in
the optimal swinging plane P. Sixth, for the right handed golf
player, if the ball is located between the point of the middle
distance between the player's legs and his or her left leg, in
other words the ball will be located near or facing the left leg of
the player, the player will chip the ball with the a tilted angle
more than the club head tilted angle depending on how far the ball
is from the player's left leg in the optimal swinging plane P. This
will provide the player with a better opportunity to chip the ball
with any angle he or she likes and not limit the player to the
choice of chipping the ball with the club angle as the prior art,
as if we provided the player with a golf club set consisting of
unlimited number of golf clubs. This will make chipping the ball in
golf not only accurate fun and precise, but also will increase the
score. This will take away the frustration of chipping the ball in
golf, make the player chip the ball accurately and make the game
easy to play and practice. This will also enable the player to use
fewer clubs to play golf because he does not need all of the
standard clubs used for the prior art since he can control the
tilting angle to hit the ball with the same club as we described
above.
[0116] The player can use the preferred embodiment of the swinging
device in FIG. 4 to do his or her golf putting as follows; first,
the player can choose the correct putter he or she prefers to use.
Second, the player will follow all the steps mentioned above in how
to use the preferred embodiment of FIG. 4 to play any swinging
sport and to do a perfect swing. Third, the player will step ahead
to the ball. Fourth, for the right handed golf player, the player
will have the choice of placing the ball in the middle of his or
her two legs, near or facing his or her right leg or near or facing
his or her left leg. We found out that we prefer that the right
handed player place the ball very near or facing the edge of his or
her left leg to do his or her putting. This will allow him or her
to almost be behind the ball, which will make him and her shoot the
ball in the direction of the hall. Fifth, using the invention
device will enable the player to practice the swing several times
before he or she shoots the ball. The player can step ahead to the
ball and start swinging the putter up and down in a pendulum way
until he or she feels comfortable about the direction and the force
of the swing. Sixth, the player can finally with a last swing will
hit the ball and make it go straight into the hall. This will not
only increase the score and make the player get more birdies but
will also make the game easier to play and practice.
[0117] Referring to FIG. 5, illustrating an exploded perspective
view of the preferred embodiment of the swinging clamping device C
depicted in FIG. 4, having two halves 23 and 24, the inner of said
two halves may or may not be coated with any grabbing materials
