Abstract
This invention relates to a golf swing training aid useful for training swing speed and swing efficiency. The inventive swing training aid includes a golf club shaft that has open proximal and distal ends and a grip. The interior of the shaft is a hollow chamber and the diameter decreases gradually from the proximal end to the distal end. A cable is captured within the hollow chamber and extends from the distal end of the shaft, terminating in an integrally formed attachment loop. A weighted ball is removably linked to the attachment loop by a connector.
Claims18
A golf training device comprising:
- a shaft having hollow chamber, a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the diameter of the proximal end of the shaft is larger than the diameter of the distal end of the shaft;
- a cable disposed within the hollow chamber of the shaft and having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the cable is captured within the chamber of the shaft and the second end of the cable extends from the distal end of the shaft and has an integral attachment loop;
- a first weighted ball having an integral eyelet;
- a connector removably linking the attachment loop on the second end of the cable to the eyelet of the weighted ball;
- and
- a grip mounted on the proximal end of the shaft.
A golf training device comprising:
- a shaft having hollow chamber, a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the diameter of the proximal end of the shaft is larger than the diameter of the distal end of the shaft;
- a cable disposed within the hollow chamber of the shaft and having a first end and a second end, and which further comprises,
- a stop attached near the first end of the cable causing the first end of the cable to be captured within the chamber of the shaft, and
- wherein the second end of the cable extends from the distal end of the shaft and has an integral attachment loop;
- a first weighted ball having an integral eyelet;
- a connector removably linking the attachment loop on the second end of the cable to the eyelet of the weighted ball;
- and
- a grip mounted on the proximal end of the shaft.
A golf training device comprising:
- a shaft having hollow chamber, a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the diameter of the proximal end of the shaft is larger than the diameter of the distal end of the shaft;
- a flexible cable disposed within the hollow chamber of the shaft and having a first end and a second end, and which further comprises,
- a button stop attached near the first end of the cable causing the first end of the cable to be captured within the chamber of the shaft, and
- wherein the second end of the cable extends from the distal end of the shaft and has an integral attachment loop;
- a plurality of weighted balls, each having an integral eyelet;
- a connector removably linking the attachment loop on the second end of the cable to the eyelet of a selected on of the weighted balls;
- and
- a grip mounted on the proximal end of the shaft.
