ABSTRACT:
The golf swing training apparatus has a plastic grass mat that shows the proper positions for the feet and hips in the modern one piece golf swing, in which the body and the golf club, have to be coordinated. It gives the golfer the positions for putting, chipping, pitching, iron shots, and wood shots.
A plastic or rubber guideway for the golf club is built into the mat and it shows the golfer how to position and also how to rotate his shoulders properly. The guideway shows visually, mentally, and physically how to swing the club through properly in the one piece, moder golf swing. That is on are that starts straight back, then to the inside, on the backswing. On the downswing it comes down inside, then straight through at the ball area, then back inside.
There is a novel tension spring in the guideway that squares the golf club face to the target and makes the ball go straight.
The back end of the guideway is flared out so that incorrect swings are corrected while the golfer is learning.
There is also a tension device that is used for pitch shots, iron shots, and wood shots that trains the golfer into the correct foot and leg action. It also shows him how to resist or hold back with his upper body while his lower body starts the downswing. This is very important in the modern one piece swing.
Another novel feature of this apparatus is that the plastic grass mat rolls up into the guideway so the training apparatus can be used at home or easily taken to the office, school, or practice range. It can be used without balls, with plastic balls or with real golf balls.
