ABSTRACT:
A simple, lightweight, portable golf swing training device to fix the rear knee of a golfer in the correct position at setup and to restrict its lateral movement away from the target during backswing, with no interference of the forward movement of the knee, hips or body during the downswing, impact or follow through. The device comprises a base unit with a vertical rod, which has a height that extends at least to the rear knee, affixed thereto. A golfer uses the device by positioning his rear foot on the base rearwardly of the vertical rod and his rear knee forwardly of the vertical rod. By restricting the knee's freedom to over rotate or slide laterally away from the target or collapse away from the target line; the golfer's hips are prevented from either over rotating and/or sliding laterally away from the target. A video camera may be used to videotape a golfer before and during the use of the golf swing training device to compare knee positions.
