Abstract
A device is provided that indicates to a user when the user has properly shifted a sufficient amount of his or her downward force to the trail foot and thereafter to the lead foot during the course of a golf swing, thereby effecting an optimal golf swing.
Claims18
A golf swing force shift indicator comprising:
- a top face, a bottom face, a front face positioned at a front end of said force shift indicator and a rear face positioned at a rear end of said force shift indicator, wherein said bottom face extends from said front end to said rear end of said force shift indicator;
- a continuous unitary plane forming said top face and extending from said front end to said rear end of said force shift indicator, wherein said top face has a lead foot placement site with a longitudinal centerline positioned more proximal to said front end than to said rear end and a trail foot placement site with a longitudinal centerline positioned more proximal to said rear end than to said front end;
- and
- a bottom front plane, a bottom central plane and a bottom rear plane forming said bottom face, wherein said bottom front, central and rear planes are sequentially positioned relative to one another in a series along the length of said bottom face, said bottom front plane has a different angular orientation relative to said bottom central plane, said bottom rear plane has a different angular orientation relative to said bottom central plane, said bottom central plane intersects said bottom front plane along a forward pivot axis and said bottom central plane intersects said bottom rear plane along a rearward pivot axis.

- a top face, a bottom face, a front face positioned at a front end of said force shift indicator and a rear face positioned at a rear end of said force shift indicator, wherein said bottom face extends from said front end to said rear end of said force shift indicator;
- a continuous unitary plane forming said top face and extending from said front end to said rear end of said force shift indicator, wherein said top face has a lead foot placement site with a longitudinal centerline positioned more proximal to said front end than to said rear end and a trail foot placement site with a longitudinal centerline positioned more proximal to said rear end than to said front end;
- and
- a bottom front plane, a bottom central plane and a bottom rear plane forming said bottom face, wherein said bottom front, central and rear planes are sequentially positioned relative to one another in a series along the length of said bottom face, said bottom front plane has an upward angular orientation relative to said bottom central plane defining a forward angle of incline, said bottom rear plane has an upward angular orientation relative to said bottom central plane defining a rearward angle of incline, said bottom central plane intersects said bottom front plane along a forward pivot axis and said bottom central plane intersects said bottom rear plane along a rearward pivot axis.
