ABSTRACT:
A training aid for developing strength and coordination for a person's swing in swinging a sporting implement, such as a baseball bat, used to strike an object is shown to include a plurality of vanes (16,16',160,260) attached to first and second collars (12,14;120,140;220,232), the vanes formed with an integral spring (46,46') adapted to engage the surface of the bat or other inplement to secure it to the implement. The vanes provide an aerodynamic drag by increasing the force required to swing the implement due to increased air resistance. In one embodiment the vanes are attached and locked to the collars using a radial motion, while in another embodiment the vanes are attached and locked to the collars using a longitudinal motion. In still another embodiment a vane (260) is permanently attached to a segment (220,232) of two collars with several segments being attachable to one another to form a complete unit.
