Golf training devices and methods of using a training device, that includes
primarily for putting and chipping. The invention can include an attachment socket
for attaching the device on top of a hand grip of a golf club and a plate extending
from the top of the attachment socket at a bent angle approximately 45 degrees
in elevation and at a twisted angle or preferably approximately 15 degrees away
from the body of the golfer so that it rests against the lower inner forward forearm
of a golfer during putting and chipping. The plate is narrow on a proximal end
and wider on a distal end where it is slightly concave to conform to the shape
of the forearm. The device is removably attached to the golf club by a fastener
on the attachment socket having a threaded hole with an adjustment screw tightening
an inner clamp against the grip of the golf club so that the grip of the golf club
is fastened in the attachment socket. Another version can have two upwardly extending
plates that extend in opposite directions to each other from the hand grip. The
versions can also be permanently affixed to the clubs.
