The present invention provides a golf practice device having a tiltable golf platform. In one embodiment, the platform is supported by an assembly that allows the platform to be controllably adjusted to simulate various golf lies. The device (200) includes a platform surface (250) mounted in a platform frame (202) that is affixed to a base frame (204) through a pair of actuators (205 and 206), each mounted to the base frame by a pivot block assembly (212) and affixed to the platform frame by an end block assembly (400). The platform frame is pivotally affixed to the base frame by a double cross-joint (203) mounted on the platform frame. The pivot block assemblies allow each actuator to adjust to the side angle relative to the actuator, thus allowing the platform to move freely in two different angles preventing unnecessary stress on the double cross-joint and the positions of attachment of the actuators to the base and platform frames. |
