ABSTRACT:
A transverse force indicating device for assisting in the teaching of a smooth swing for a golf club or other rod-like object includes a joint apparatus interconnecting bifurcated guide rods on a swing teaching apparatus or a bifurcated club, club extension, or attachment member. The joint apparatus may be a balsa wood dowel interconnecting the bifurcated first and second rod members or may be a ball and socket arrangement which has a spring or other suitable locking device to maintain a coaxial orientation of the first and second rod members unless the transverse shear force exerted by or against the first rod member during a swing of the club by a user is greater than a predefined amount. The wood dowel is designed to break as a sole consequence of swinging the club, if the club swing is not properly executed. Alternatively, a strain gauge arrangement with a meter readout may be employed to provide a reading of the amount of transverse force being exerted by the user.
