ABSTRACT:
An improved golf swing brace which regulates the angle of bending of the following arm elbow of a golfer so as to truly simulate for the golfer-in-training proper golf swing technique. The golf swing brace includes as upper arm component and a forearm component, each mutually connected by a pivot. Arm bands attach the upper arm component to respective portions of the golfer's following arm (right arm in the case of a right handed golfer). The present invention is an improvement consisting of relocating attachment of the center arm band to the forearm component as well as changing its angle and length of the said forearm cradle to eliminate slippage of the device on a users arm, as well as provide added support and comfort to the user. The upper arm and forearm components are oriented so that the pivot is axially in line with the golfer's elbow. Thus, if the pivot is stopped, the golfer cannot bend his or her lead arm at the elbow, but if the pivot is not stopped, the golfer is able to freely bend his or her lead arm at the elbow. The pivot is selectively stopped by operation of an angle-setting adjuster which is connected to the pivot and also connected with the forearm component. An abutment on the angle-setting adjuster abuts the upper arm component so as to stop pivoting at the pivot point. The angle-setting adjuster can be orientationally adjusted relative to the forearm component when the golfer's arm at a particularly desired degree of bend. Thus, the golfer may simulate a "professional" golf swing in which the right elbow cannot bend more than 90 degrees at the top of the golf swing.
