Claims4
A method of manufacturing a golf training aid hinge assembly, the method comprising:
- providing at least one friction plate having an arm;
- providing at least one frictional brake pad disposed in contact with the at least one friction plate, the at least one frictional brake pad having an arm;
- providing a force distribution device for holding the at least one friction plate in contact with the at least one frictional brake pad;
- and
- providing a first hinge body element and a second hinge body element;
- and
- positioning the arm of the friction plate such that it extends into the first hinge body element;
- and
- positioning the arm of the frictional brake pad such that it extends into the second hinge body element.
