ABSTRACT:
A golf-swing training device that comprises a club shaft, one end having a grip and the other end having a generally U-shaped member to which a removable flat paddle is attached. The paddle consists of a generally rectangular structure, approximately 1 foot wide and 4 inches tall, featuring a pair of apertures and a retaining channel on one side for cooperative engagement with the generally U-shaped end of the shaft. The training club is swung like a standard club and used to simulate striking a ball with a square face without the use of a golf ball. Because of its size, the paddle provides a visible indication of the position of the club in the hands of a user, allowing immediate adjustments to be made in the course of the swing. In addition, the drag created by the paddle during the downswing results in a force that requires greater effort on the part of the user than a regular club would demand, which in turn strengthens the muscles used to square the face of the club during the downswing. Weight attachments are also provided to increase the mass of the training club for different levels of exercise.
