ABSTRACT:
A golf swing brace which regulates elbow flexing in a manner which is responsive to the golfer's swing so that elbow flexing is prevented before and during golf ball addressment, but is freely permitted thereafter, thus truly simulating for the golfer-in-training proper swing technique. The golf swing brace consists of an upper arm brace and a forearm brace, each mutually pivotally connected together at a pivot. Arm bands attach the upper arm and forearm braces to the respective portions of the golfer's lead arm (left arm in the case of a right-handed golfer). The upper arm and forearm braces are oriented so that the pivot is axially in line with the golfer's elbow. Thus, if the pivot is locked, the golfer cannot bend his or her lead arm at the elbow, but if the pivot is not locked, the golfer is able to freely bend his or her lead arm at the elbow. The pivot is selectively lockable, with selective locking of the pivot being accomplished by movement of a stop pin with respect to an abutment, where the stop pin is connected with the forearm brace and the abutment is connected with the upper arm brace. A sensor and actuator cooperate to move the stop pin at an appropriate juncture so that the golfer may simulate a "professional" swing in which the elbow cannot bend until the ball has been addressed, and is then able to freely bend thereafter.
