Abstract
A sports rotation swing training system is provided that includes a harness assembly to be worn around the torso of the player that is used with a separate vertical upright structure. The harness assembly comprises a chest/waist band and a generally horizontally projecting stick protruding from the band side. The projecting stick is designed to engage with the separate upright structure upon the player's execution of a swing to provide feedback (auditory, tactile, or electronic) related to the degree of rotation. The chest/waist band can be alternatively positioned by the user at the chest (to practice thoracic rotation) or at the waist (to practice pelvic rotation). In a preferable aspect of the invention, the angle of the projecting stick is adjustable downward from generally parallel to the ground.
Claims17
A sports training system comprising:
- a harness assembly comprising:
- a chest/waist band comprising a band front portion, a band back portion, and two opposing band side portions;
- a projecting stick disposed at one of said two opposing band side portions and extending outwardly at least 1 foot from said chest/waist band;
- a band-to-stick connector disposed on one of said two opposing band side portions that connects said projecting stick to said chest/waist band:
- wherein said band-to-stick connector comprises an angle mount that allows said projecting stick to be positioned at least at a first angle and at a second angle;
- wherein said angle mount is a manual angle mount with at least two receiving apertures each of which can receive a proximal end of said projecting stick;
- and
- an upright structure that is separate from said harness assembly and that comprises a vertically disposed pole to be positioned in a location so that when a sports player rotates his body while swinging a sports implement, said projecting stick engages with said vertically disposed pole.

- a harness assembly comprising:
- a chest/waist band comprising a band front portion, a band back portion, two opposing band side portions, and a band-to-stick connector disposed on one of said two opposing band side portions;
- shoulder straps that are removably attachable to said chest/waist band;
- a projecting stick attachable to said band-to-stick connector;
- wherein when said projecting stick is attached to said band-to-stick connector it extends outwardly at least 1 foot from said chest/waist band;
- wherein said band-to-stick connector comprises an angle mount that allows said projecting stick to be positioned at least at a first angle and at a second angle;
- and wherein said angle mount is a manual angle mount comprising an upper receiving aperture and a lower receiving aperture each of which can receive a proximal end of said projecting stick;
- and
- an upright structure that is separate from said harness assembly and that comprises a vertically disposed pole positioned in a location so that when a sports player rotates to swing a sports implement, said projecting stick engages with said vertically disposed pole.
