Abstract
Abstract A golf putting practice aid device which helps to stabilize the golfer''s arms during putting and to help him determine his best stable posture for putting. The device, in its simplest form, embodies an elongated strip or plate of lightweight wood, plastic or the like, and has at opposite end curved portions adapted to be interposed between and to engage snugly against portions of the golfer''s arms. Another form includes a central casing having separate oppositely extended, slidable arm engaging stabilizing plates mounted adjustably within said central casing.
