Abstract:

A flexible football tee for supporting a football at a selected elevation above the ground. The football tee provides a steady base resistant to movement, and provides uniformity in the football placement. The football tee provides virtually no resistance to movement of the foot of a kicker as the football is struck, thereby reducing variables in the transfer of momentum from the foot to the football. The football tee is reusable and provides a surface for presentation of printed matter.

Abstract:

A golf club alignment device for showing a target area of a golf ball to be impacted by a golf club has a base head with a center mark calibrated to a center line of a securely mounted reflective plate having a mirror quality finish angled back from the corresponding striking surface of the club head, a centering scale, silhouetted at the base portion of the reflective plate, made up of short lines, 0. 125 inch spaced increment deviations on either side of the center line in progressive numerical order to allow the golfer to compensate for contours of putting surfaces, a grip reasonably secured to a shaft, of the club head having at a selected distance above the club head to the shaft, a centering standard projecting horizontally forward and parallel to the club head, an alignment mark existing near out board end of the centering standard, calibrated to the center mark of the club head, also calibrated to center line of the reflective plate, in conjunction with the reflection of alignment mark of the centering standard, thus subsequently positioning the corresponding striking surface of club head perpendicular to the reflection of the target or achieving a misaligned putt by using an offset of the centering scale right or left of center line for compensating for contoured putting surfaces of the putt being negotiated.
