Abstract
A flying disc training device incorporates a training disc for being gripped by a user, and having a centerpoint, top and bottom sides and an annular rim. A swivel strap includes first and second ends pivotably attached at the centerpoint of the disc on respective top and bottom sides. The swivel strap forms an intermediate loop which extends beyond the annular rim of the disc, such that the swivel strap is capable of freely pivoting relative to the disc. An elastic resistance band is attached to the swivel strap and has a free end adapted for being secured to a fixed structure.
Claims21
A flying disc training device, comprising:
- a training disc for being gripped by a user, and comprising a centerpoint, top and bottom sides and an annular rim, and wherein the annular rim comprises a beveled edge;
- a swivel strap having first and second ends pivotably attached at the centerpoint of said disc on respective top and bottom sides, and forming an intermediate loop extending beyond the annular rim of said disc such that said swivel strap is capable of freely pivoting relative to said disc;
- and
- an elastic resistance band attached to said swivel strap and having a free end adapted for being secured to a fixed structure.
