ABSTRACT:
An aid to improve a golf participant's golf swing for developing an accurate and powerful golf swing technique. The inventive device includes an arm strap assembly, a trigger assembly, a ratchet assembly and a club clip attachment. The arm strap assembly attaches to the player's trailing arm by adjustable straps. The trigger assembly includes a trigger line of fixed length and connects the arm strap to the ratchet assembly. One purpose of this component is to “trigger” the point at which the ratchet mechanism should release the ratchet line. The ratchet assembly consists of a retracting, spring-loaded release device that remains locked as long as the trigger mechanism is slack. Once the trigger mechanism exceeds a preset pull-force, the ratchet mechanism releases allowing the ratchet line connected between the ratchet assembly and the participant's golf club to extend at the appropriate position in the participant's down swing. In turn, this allows the participant to extend his trailing arm resulting in the generation of maximum force to be imparted to the golf ball at the point of impact.
