ABSTRACT:
A golf-swing training apparatus includes a base, a rotator disk for receiving one foot of a user, and means for anchoring the apparatus to a playing surface. The rotator disk is pivotably coupled to the base by a screw. Friction reducing means is coupled between the rotator disk and the base to reduce rotational friction. Using the apparatus when making a golf swing, the user's foot will rotate on the rotator disk allowing the user to rotate her torso easily with minimal swaying. In addition, the user will be able to lift her heel while keeping the ball of her foot on the rotator disk. The position of the rotator disk can also be adjusted in relation to the position of the tee and the size of the mat. Preferably, a mat slip is utilized to securely anchor the golf swing apparatus to the playing surface of the practice mat without damaging the practice mat. The mat slip can anchor the golf swing apparatus anywhere on the playing surface of the practice mat by sandwiching the practice mat between the base and the mat slip coupled to the base of the apparatus. Further, the golf swing apparatus is a compact apparatus which is easily transportable since all the elements of the apparatus are coupled together.
