ABSTRACT:
A golf instruction aid and method of providing a tactile feedback to a golfer to remind the golfer to observe the proper weight shift during a backswing. The golf instruction aid includes a generally flat main body portion adapted to slip between the instep of the golfer and the golfer's shoe. A first flange extends underneath the foot of the golfer, while a second flange projects outward from the foot of the golfer above the rim of the shoe. The first flange exerts a slight pressure on the instep of the golfer's foot to remind the golfer to maintain his or her weight on the instep during the backswing. In one embodiment, the first flange is positioned generally underneath the second flange and is positioned to apply pressure to the arch of the foot. In the second embodiment, the first flange is positioned forward from the second flange and is positioned to apply pressure to the arch closer to the ball of the foot. The first flange is preferably formed as an arch to provide a concave surface in contact with the foot so the golfer may exert a downward force on the first flange and flatten it.
