Embodiments may include a golf swing training apparatus. The golf swing training apparatus may include a mount operable to couple with a fixed object. The golf swing training apparatus may include a mounting collar operable to couple with the mount. The golf swing training apparatus may include an arm operable to be pivotally coupled with the mounting collar. The golf swing training apparatus may include a clamp pivotally coupled with the arm, wherein the clamp is operable to be clamped about a shaft.

A system and method for improving a golf swing. The system includes a club lie angle calculator, a golf club grabber, and a propeller channel for creating and supporting a swing plane for a user equal to the lie angle of a given golf club.

A golf training apparatus guides the execution of a golf shot. The apparatus comprises a first arm rotatable in a first plane about a first pivot at a first end of the first arm; a second arm coupled to the first arm and rotatable in second plane parallel to the first plane about a second pivot at a second end of the first arm and a first end of the second arm; and a gripper for coupling a golf club to the second arm, the gripper rotatable about a third pivot at a second end of the second arm such that a shaft of the club is rotatable about the third pivot in a third plane parallel to the first plane. The second arm is longer than the first arm. The apparatus can include a guide around which the first pivot is moveable, which can be a circular loop.

A golf swing training device comprising a track with a C-shaped cross-section, a roller bearing assembly located within the C-shaped cross-section of the track such that the roller bearing assembly is capable of moving freely along the length of the track but is incapable of disengaging from the track, and a clamp pivotally mounted to the roller bearing assembly, where the clamp is capable of receiving a club shaft. The track may be mounted on height-adjustable legs, allowing the angle of the track to be adjusted. The device may allow a user to practice the user's golf swing without the ability to alter the swing from the path of the track, allowing the user to develop muscle memory to produce a consistent swing.

A golf swing assistance apparatus comprises a cart body having a gear assembly, a height adjustable body rest pad, a pair of handle means adaptable to actuate the gear assembly, a safety shroud, a carrier, a drive shaft and a balancing cart leg connected to a stabilizing foot. The gear assembly includes a main ring gear operably coupled to a drive shaft gear by means of a pawl. The safety shroud ensures safety of a player and the carrier holds at least one golf club. The balancing cart leg adjusts the height of the apparatus. When the player actuates the gear assembly by pressing the handle, the drive shaft creates a direct drive mechanism that rotates the carrier and adjusts the at least one golf club in a perfect arc to hit a golf ball by providing a swing motion to the golf club.

A putting stroke apparatus and method is provided that determines and simulates the proper putting stroke using at least an aiming direction and initial ball speed for successfully making a particular putt based on particular putting green characteristics and the location of the golf hole on the putting green. A pendulum putter apparatus is coupled with a putting diagnostic tool wherein the putting diagnostic tool determines at least an aiming direction and initial ball speed for a particular putt using inputs such as: (i) topographic information (e.g., contours) specific to the green; (ii) the green speed at a particular time; (iii) the golf hole location (i.e., the physical location of the golf hole); and (iv) the golf ball location on the green (i.e., the physical location of the golf ball).
