Abstract:
This is a golf swing training device, consisting of a single unit which
is placed over the grip end of a golf club. The golfer uses this
apparatus by swinging the golf club allowing the equipment to slide down
the shaft of the golf club during the forward swing process, causing it
to slide into the club head, thus creating a loud audible sound, giving
the golfer a frame of reference as to where the release took place,
whether early or late.Claims:
1. This invention is a golf swing training aid and a golf swing training
method. The apparatus provides a golfer with an audible sound while
assisting in correcting the release of the golf club on the downward
swing of a golf club. Important to a fundamentally sound and repeating
golf swing is the ability to consistently deliver the club head at impact
on the proper path and with the club face square to the target line. This
device will give the user feedback as to whether the users club is in the
proper position at impact and will let them know whether they have
released the club at the proper place thus imparting the maximum club
head speed at the point of impact. The invention is a training aid used
by golfers to train and/or improve golf playing techniques by teaching
fundamentals in the swinging of a golf club.Description:
[0001] This golf swing training device is intended to improve a golfers
swing by encouraging the release of the wrists while swinging a golf club
shaft at a golf ball to increase club head speed at impact of the ball.
This apparatus includes only the round machined disk, no other parts or
material are required for this invention. The apparatus is constructed
from polycarbonate 3'' round rod, machined on a lathe to the drawing
dimensions. The device is one that is placed over the club grip, through
the center hole of the apparatus, which will slide down the shaft of the
golf club during the front swing, and will come in contact with the club
head making an audible noise dictating the location of the release of the
golf club generating maximum impact and club head speed at the point of
impact at the golf ball.
