ABSTRACT:
A golf swing training device is provided herein. A ball is connected to a line wound about a reel, and one or more weights are slidably positioned upon the line. When the ball is struck, its inertia strips line from the reel, and the line trails behind the ball in flight. Simultaneously, the weights are carried along by the line, and these weights exert a downward force on the line, thereby dampening the flight of the struck bail and forcing the ball back toward the ground. Also, when the ball's trajectory curves upward, the friction between the weight and the line increases, thus decelerating the ball. After the ball strikes the ground, the ball can be retrieved by manually rotating the reel in the preferred embodiment.
