Abstract

A method for practicing a golf swing wherein a laser swing aid is used for defining a swing path for a club head and for aligning a club head of a golf club with a ball along a target path. The swing aid includes a body containing a power source coupled to a laser source coupled to an optics system. The optics system is arranged to produce a light beam in a plane. The body of the swing aid is positioned a distance apart from and separate from the club head and ball. The plane of the beam formed by the swing aid is positioned to produce a line of light aligned with the target path, the club head, and the ball. The line of light is formed and positioned to be visible across the club head and the ball along the target path and throughout at least a portion of a desired swing path.
