ABSTRACT:
A golf club swing teaching aid is provided having an elongated inflatable tubular sleeve adapted to be worn by the golfer to restrain bending of the golfer's leading arm during backswing. An alarm assembly which emits an audible signal is mounted on the sleeve for alerting the golfer that his or her leading alarm has been allowed to bend to an undesirable extent during backswing of the golf club. Means is provided for adjustably mounting the alarm actuating components of the alarm assembly on the sleeve so that the golfer may select the degree of bending of his or her leading arm that may take place during backswing of a golf club before the audible alarm is sounded. Selective adjustment by the golfer of the degree of adjustment of the sleeve also has an effect on the timing of the audible alarm. The audible alarm is initiated upon normal bending of the leading arm during swing follow-through thus alerting the golfer to the fact that he or she can now allow their eyes to leave the ball impact zone and focus on the ball flight path. The sleeve has a non-inflated area at the arm crease which allows substantially unimpeded arm bending at the elbow during follow-through so that the golfer is not restrained from executing a normal technique throughout the swing.
