Title: Practice golf club with means for holding and releasing ball

Abstract: A gold club designed for use in practicing the execution of a proper swing, the club being adapted to hold a golf ball until it is released at the bottom of the swing. The gripping elements are designed to hold the golf ball against the striking face of the club and avoid interference with the natural trajectory of the ball. The ball is released when the golfer pulls on a spring-biased cable extending from a first position located adjacent the golf club grip to a second position, where the cable coacts with the golf ball gripping elements.
