Abstract A complete system of alignment indicia for a golf club to provide the user with precise alignment for both loft and lie indicating when the club is properly soled including intersecting, inner indicia having four point, three point and two point alignment, adjoining inner indicia having three point and two point alignment, non-touching inner indicia having four point, three point and two point alignment and a combination of outer geometric marks which are complementary to and aligned with the various other geometric designs in four point, three point and two point alignment arrangements. This alignment system provides at least one of the inner directional indicia parallel to the ball striking face and a second of the inner indicia being perpendicular to the ball striking face and complementary outer indicia in the same direction whereby the inner indicia extend outwardly to interface with the outer indicia creating a visual inline, outwardly radiating extension of the dominant central image which appears as one enlarged image when the inner and outer indicia are interfaced to clearly present a single sighting image at a single focal point on the golf club.
An alignment system for a golf club to enable a user to establish precision alignment for both lie and loft indicating when the club head is properly soled, said golf club having a frontal ball striking face and upper and lower surfaces comprising: inner indicia located on one of said surfaces forming a dominant central image having at least two inner directional marks, at least one of said marks extending on a line parallel to said striking face and at least a second of said marks extending on a line perpendicular to said striking face; and outer indicia positioned outside of said inner indicia and located on the other of said surfaces, vertically spaced from said inner indicia, said outer indicia having at least one outer directional mark in the same linear direction as each of said inner directional marks, one of said outer marks being parallel to said striking face and a second of said outer marks being perpendicular to said striking face, said outer indicia being complementary to said inner indicia creating a visual, in-line, outwardly radiating extension of said inner indicia whereby said dominant central image appears as one enlarged image when the club head is properly aligned.

An alignment system for a golf club to enable a user to establish precision alignment for both lie and loft indicating when the club head is properly soled, said golf club having a frontal ball striking face and upper and lower surfaces comprising: inner indicia located on one of said surfaces forming a dominant central image having at least two inner directional marks, at least one of said marks extending on a line parallel to said striking face and at least a second of said marks extending on a line perpendicular to said striking face; and outer indicia positioned outside of said inner indicia and located on the other of said surfaces, vertically spaced from said inner indicia, said outer indicia having at least one outer directional mark in the same linear direction as each of said inner directional marks, one of said outer marks being parallel to said striking face and a second of said outer marks being perpendicular to said striking face, said outer indicia being complementary to said inner indicia creating a visual, in-line, outwardly radiating extension of said inner indicia whereby said dominant central image appears as one enlarged image when the club head is properly aligned.
