Abstract
A golf swing training device has a main housing including a first section and a second section. First and second faces of the first and second sections, respectively, each may have first and second channels. A hinge connects the first and second sections such that the first channel aligns with the second channel to form a conduit through the main housing. Removable inserts fit within the first and second channels, each removable insert having an insert channel, wherein each insert channel aligns to form a bore sized to receive the shaft of the golf club. A fastener is positioned opposite the hinge for securing the first and second sections of the main housing together around the golf club shaft.
Claims7
A golf swing training device for attachment to a shaft of a golf club, the golf swing training device comprising:
- a main housing comprising a first section having a first face, and a second section having a second face, each of the first and second faces having a top and a bottom;
- first and second channels located on the first and second faces, respectively, the first and second channels extending from the top to the bottom of the main housing;
- a hinge connecting the first and second sections such that the first channel aligns with the second channel to form a conduit through the main housing;
- removable inserts that fit within the first and second channels, each removable insert having an insert channel, wherein each insert channel aligns to form a bore sized to receive the shaft of the golf club;
- a fastener opposite the hinge for securing the first and second sections of the main housing together around the golf club shaft;
- and
- further comprising a centerline indicator on at least one of the first and second faces of the main housing, the centerline indicator being located at a center of gravity of the main housing.
A golf swing training device for attachment to a shaft of a golf club, the golf swing training device comprising:
- a main housing comprising a first section having a first face, and a second section having a second face, each of the first and second faces having a top and a bottom;
- first and second channels of the first and second faces, respectively, the first and second channels extending from the top to the bottom of the main housing;
- a hinge connecting the first and second sections such that the first channel aligns with the second channel to form a conduit through the main housing;
- removable inserts that fit within the first and second channels, each removable insert having an insert channel, wherein each insert channel aligns to form a bore sized to receive the shaft of the golf club;
- a fastener opposite the hinge for securing the first and second sections of the main housing together around the golf club shaft;
- the removable inserts further include a plurality of teeth that project outwardly;
- and
- wherein the first and second channels of the main housing further include a plurality of teeth that project inwardly to receive the plurality of teeth of the removable inserts.
A method for training comprising the steps of:
- providing a golf club having a head and a shaft;
- providing a golf swing training device comprising:
- a main housing comprising a first section having a first face, and a second section having a second face, each of the first and second faces having a top and a bottom;
- first and second channels of the first and second faces, respectively, the first and second channels extending from the top to the bottom of the main housing;
- a hinge connecting the first and second sections such that the first channel aligns with the second channel to form a conduit through the main housing;
- removable inserts that fit within the first and second channels, each removable insert having an insert channel, wherein each insert channel aligns to form a bore sized to receive the shaft of the golf club;
- a fastener opposite the hinge for securing the first and second sections of the main housing together around the golf club shaft;
- and
- further comprising a centerline indicator on at least one of the first and second faces of the main housing, the centerline indicator being located at a center of gravity of the main housing;
- determining a center of gravity of the golf club by horizontally balancing the golf club;
- attaching the golf swing training device to the shaft of the golf club so that the centerline indicator of the golf swing training device is positioned on the center of gravity determined for the golf club;
- and
- swinging the golf club.
