ABSTRACT:
A golf swing training system consists of a line having first and second ends, and a line support connected to each end of the line. A first line support positions the line closely adjacent a supporting surface, such as the floor or the ground, and a second line support positions the opposite of the line above the supporting surface. A ball is slidably mounted to the line. A golf club includes a head having a vertical slot extending upwardly from the lower surface of the head. The ball is positioned on the portion of the line adjacent the supporting surface, and a user then swings the club toward the line such that the line is received within the slot formed in the golf club head, to strike the ball and to propel the ball along the line. A spring is mounted to the line adjacent the second line support, and the ball engages the spring as it approaches the second line support to propel the ball back along the line toward the user. When the club is swung properly, the line is received within the slot formed in the golf club head, and there is little interference between the line and the golf club head. When the golf club is swung improperly, the portions of the club head adjacent the slot engage the line to set up oscillations within the line, and as a result the ball does not travel smoothly along the line, to provide immediate feedback to the user as to the quality of the swing.
