A customizable alignment sighting device for a golf club is mounted to an
upper surface of the head of the golf club with a sighting element
providing the user a visual target indicator for desired alignment of the
club head with the user's line of sight. The sighting element can be
readily adjusted for the user's preferences. When not aligned, the
sighting element provides an indication of the magnitude and direction of
misalignment. In one embodiment, the device is shaped as a planar disc
mounted on the upper surface of the club head by leveling posts spaced
around its periphery. The sighting element is a concave lens or
lenticulated grid or grill superimposed on a target image. In another
embodiment, the device has a 3D device body mounted in a mounting cup or
socket fastened to or formed in the head of the golf club. The device
body has a larger-diameter circle marked around an annular opening, and a
smaller-diameter circle marked depthwise inside the opening in the device
body to provide a target of concentric circles by parallax effect. The
device body can be formed as a sphere with axially split sides that are
expanded outward when an expansion plug is threaded in the bottom,
providing an interference fit holding it in position in the mounting cup.
The spherical body can be formed with 4 alignment sighting holes at
90.degree. intervals around a vertical plane and provided with a
weighting element fixed at an offset position, such that it can be
rotated to use any of the different alignment holes for adjusting the
weight distribution in the club head.
