ABSTRACT:
A golf training apparatus having a foot platform which is rockable from side-to-side on a rocket oriented on the long end-to-end axis of the platform. The platform operates on an attached or unattached base and a signal device is attached to the platform to indicate platform rocking movement by the emission of a signal. The platform tilts inwardly toward center in the ball address position. The player stands with his golf shoes on one or two platforms with his body on center and the platforms at ball address position. By not shifting his body away from the target on a proper backswing, the force in his off-target foot remains centered, the off-target platform is not tilted and no signal emits. By subsequently shifting his body toward the target on a proper downswing, the applied force in his target foot moves to the outside of his foot, tilts the platform to the opposite side (IE) outwardly toward the target, and a signal emits. The tilting and non-tilting of the platform together with the signal gives the player the "feel" of a properly executed swing as the platforms provide angular movement in the feet, ankles, calves not obtained in golf shoes which remain untilted under all conditions thus giving no perceptible indication of changes and no signal of improper and/or proper shift of position.
