Abstract

A golf Swing training device comprises a club member and at least one weight member. The weight member includes a mating Structure for Securing the weight member to a complementary mating Structure in the Shaft portion of the club member. The weight member can be secured to the shaft in at least three positions including a first position at the top of the Shaft adjacent the handle, a Second position at or near the midpoint of the Shaft and a third position at or near the distal end of the shaft.

Claims

1. A swing training device comprising at least one light weight member, wherein said light weight member is in the shape of a hammer head and has at least one means of attaching said light weight member to a shaft of a swinging device.

2. The swing training device of claim 1 wherein the swinging device is a golf club, racquetball racket, or tennis racket.

3. The swing training device of claim 1 wherein the light weight member has a plurality of friction attachment devices on one side wherein said plurality of friction attachment devices are used to hold the light weight member on said swinging device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] The golf Swing training device of the present invention is referred to hereinafter as the Trainer.

[0014] The trainer is a Swing trainer that employs a shaft, such as a solid steel shaft, with various weight positions throughout the shaft. One end of the shaft is fitted with, preferably near the handle, is fitted with the training device attached to the club.

[0015] It is generally well stated that in actual play of one's Sport, one's grip, Stance, back Swing, downswing and follow through, generally in that order, must be worked out and perfected and each stage of said swing coordinated before success as a player can be achieved. Having programmed the muscles to repeat the proper motion by use of the Trainer, the player is able to allow muscle memory to cause a repetition of the proper swing rather than mentally processing the components of the swing as the swing is made, a process most athletes recognize to be a futile exercise leading to disaster.

[0016] The Trainer offers no assistance in hitting a ball but functions with surprising efficiency enabling the user not only to learn to time a Swing, but also to Swing along the correct plane so that a player will get the maximum club head Speed at the intended point of ball impact and will thus condition a player in a manner to achieve better results when actually playing a game.

[0017] The Trainer is designed to help improve the swing of a golf club, baseball bat, tennis racket or other Sport requiring a Swing. In reference to the golf swing, the trainer provides a novel method for developing an efficient, precise, repeatable and powerful golf swing which remains on the proper swing plane. The physical properties of the Trainer facilitate the learning of a Swing which remains on a consistent Swing plane with a proper release of the club-head at the moment of impact. The Trainer provides for the positioning of a weight at a variety of positions along the length of the Shaft. The physical implications of moving this weight along the Shaft are discussed hereinafter.

[0018] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the Trainer is shown in one embodiment wherein the shape of the Trainer, 10, is a hammer head with friction attachment devices, 20, on the rear side of the Trainer, 10. While the Trainer is preferred to be attached with friction attachment devices, 20, the Trainer can be designed so that it can be attached by zip ties, nuts and bolts, screws, and other similar attachment means. There is accomplished by removing the friction attachment devices, and drilling holes into the Trainer such that a rope, zip tie, nuts and bolts, or screws can be passed through the holes and attached to the club.

[0019] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the Trainer, 10, is shown attached to a club, 30, with friction attachment devices, 20.
