ABSTRACT:
A golf swing training apparatus is provided for generally improving a golfer's golf club swing technique. A rigid hand grip is connected to one end of a flexible, tubular shaft. The other end of the shaft is connected to a ball. The device has a required overall length as to just fit between a vertical aligned with the outside of one arm of the golfer, the arm resting at the golfer's side, and the wrist of the golfer's other arm when the other arm and hand are jointly stretched horizontally. A threaded shaft-length adjustment connector is included at a point along the shaft for adjusting the overall length of the shaft. In use, the overall length, the flexibility of the tube, and the weight of the ball combine to result in a swing action such that on each correctly executed backswing the ball gently touches one side of the golfer just below the golfer's other arm. Likewise, on each correctly executed foreswing follow-through, the ball gently touches the other side of the golfer just below the one arm of the golfer. However, on each incorrectly executed backswing or foreswing, the ball touches the golfer contrariwise, either more forcefully or less forcefully than with a correctly executed swing, so that the golfer receives a tactile feedback indication of the correctness of each swing and is thus able to improve swing technique.
