How The SmartBallGolf LowPoint Trainer Works...

How it detects your swing and low point:

Uses a high tech laser screen to detect the low point of a golf swing.

After detecting the low point, the Smart Ball unit will display the corresponding light pattern.

Users can then work on adjusting their pattern, maintaining their pattern, repeating their pattern.

GREEN light swing:

Lighting all greens promotes weight, hand & shaft forward at impact position.

Divots would be located after the ball.

This is the light pattern is the level most golf professionals would create.

YELLOW light swing:

Lighting yellow lights can represent broken wrist at impact but with proper weight forward at impact.

Divots will often be located just before the ball.

RED light swing:

Lighting red lights represents the golfer’s weight and hands are back, behind the ball at impact.

Divots are located well before the ball.

Very pricey....

Yeah, $600 normally, though on sale "50% off" through the end of 2016 (but it's still listed as such).

They aren't selling many. Not for something you can replicate with a piece of tape or string…

Interesting, below is a video of it in action.

A cheap DIY project that might work is to jury rig a tripwire laser, if it gets blocked, it beeps, place it so that beam is an inch or so behind the ball.  Make more of them for more accuracy.

very clever - For $600 bucks I'd be glad to send anyone a carpet sample and a bag of chalk dust....

heck - I'll do it for $499

The thing about these small business products is the marketing is terrible, never found a good video that demonstrates how it works. Here's one that came up:

Why would you want to light them all up? Does't that mean you hit it fat?

Maybe all the lights in front of first contact to ground? It looks like he did that though.

or...Inverse Sleeve Drill.

Just as in the drill for swinging up with driver, place an empty golf ball sleeve  a head length or so from the ball, but place it behind the ball rather than in front of the ball. Ideally, would promote forward shaft lean with divot post impact. A little less messy than chalk dust.
