For many golfers, their golf swing practice regimen consists of many sessions of long drives on rough grassy grounds. These conditions can often leave the average golfer fatigued and tense. Even with the best golf swing technique, a bad shot can cost a lot of extra strokes, especially if you’re playing at a time when you’re not particularly tired. If you want to prevent this problem, then you need to make sure that your practice session takes place on a proper golf course, or in a golf-specific environment.
Golf practice mats to help out on this end, because they give the golfer a place to play without worrying about hitting into the rough or into the grass. Traditionally, golf practice mats were made up of two separate pieces: a coarse top layer with a thick plastic or rubber layer underneath for support and cushioning; and a soft bottom surface with a soft top surface for striking the ball. These mats were designed primarily for use outdoors, where the elements could affect the quality of the game, but they work just as well for indoor usage.
The present invention provides for a new method of practicing the game of golf. A golf ball carrier is fixed to the top surface of the mats. As the player hits the ball, the machine rotates the carrier, thereby simulating the actual act of swinging a club.
Another benefit of this system is that the low point of the arc of the club can be projected onto the flat surface below. With older golf swing practice routines, the low point of the arc was generally not visible at all. With the present invention, the low point of the arc can be seen clearly, allowing the golfer to get a feel for what happens as the club approaches the ball’s centerline. In this way, the player can learn how to recognize the proper moment to strike the ball with the club for maximum accuracy.
Another benefit from this system comes from the ability of the machine to simulate the swing path of a golf swing. As the player swings, the golf swing arc reaches a peak and then gradually starts its decline. As the player swings, the machine traces the swing path over the same area on the other side of the golf course. Thus, the player can repeat the swing path over again, depending on which way the low point of the arc turns as it rises.
The last benefit from this system comes from the ability of the machine to project the correct distance to the hole. As the golfer prepares to hit the ball, the machine will project an imaginary ball into the air. This imaginary ball is relative to the golfer’s current position on the green. With this calculation, the golfer will know the exact distance to hit the ball, allowing him or her to focus on other factors such as the angle and slope before actually hitting the ball.
One final benefit from the Acu-Strike training system comes from the possibility of hitting the ball while keeping hands, arms, and shoulders in the proper positions. Some golfers have problems with this, especially those who need to keep their hands higher than their shoulders. This problem is solved by the use of the Acu-Strike training system’s dual-hinge design, which allows the golfer to have a firm grip even when his or her hands are lower than their shoulder. The hinges also allow the hands to move naturally during the backswing and downswing, giving a smoother, looser feeling from the start to the end of the swing. Additionally, the system provides a strong platform from which to perfect the golf swing’s finishing move – the downswing. Since this is the most crucial part of the entire swing, the hinge and adjustable club head allows golfers to feel as if they have a firm hand and wrist throughout the backswing, allowing them to be in perfect control as they reach the top of their golf swing and begin their downswing.
Overall, the Acu-Strike system represents a revolutionary golf fitness tool that combines the best of old and new technology. It provides golfers with a powerful starting point from which to build strength and power from the ground up. However, the key to its success lies not in the raw power of its impact, but rather in the knowledge and technique of how to use it as an actual system. Simply swinging a golf club without the use of the Acu-Strike can lead to an unnatural strength that may limit its effectiveness on the greens. By taking the time to properly master the strength and power generated by the product, golfers may be able to enjoy their game more than ever.
