Abstract
A golf swing force shift indicator with a trail foot support includes both monolithic and detachable configurations to provide increased leverage and support to a golfer's trail foot during use of the golf swing force shift indicator. The golf swing force shift indicator includes a top face and a bottom face opposite the top face. The top face is where the golfer places their lead foot near a front face. The bottom face is configured to have various angular orientations during a golf swing. The trail foot support is disposed at a rear face opposite the front face. The trail foot support forms an upward incline relative to the top face where the golfer can place their trail foot on the trial foot support.
Claims20
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;
- a lead foot placement site disposed on the top face, the lead foot placement site having a longitudinal centerline positioned more proximal to the front end than to the rear end;
- 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 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, the bottom front plane comprising a bottom front length extending from the forward pivot axis to the front face, the bottom rear plane comprising a bottom rear length extending from the rearward pivot axis to the rear face, wherein the bottom rear length is greater than the bottom front length;
- and
- a trail foot support wherein the top face comprises a first section having a first continuous unitary plane and a second section having a second continuous unitary plane wherein the second section comprises the trail foot support, the first section extending from the front end to the second section, the second section extending from the rear end to the first section, wherein an intersection of the first section and the second section forms a top face angle.
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;
- a lead foot placement site disposed on the top face, the lead foot placement site having a longitudinal centerline positioned more proximal to the front end than to the rear 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 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, the bottom front plane comprising a bottom front length extending from the forward pivot axis to the front face, the bottom rear plane comprising a bottom rear length extending from the rearward pivot axis to the rear face, wherein the bottom rear length is greater than the bottom front length;
- wherein a portion of the top face is askew with the bottom central plane.
A golf swing force shift indicator kit, comprising:
- 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;
- a lead foot placement site disposed on the top face, the lead foot placement site having a longitudinal centerline positioned more proximal to the front end than to the rear 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 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, the bottom front plane comprising a bottom front length extending from the forward pivot axis to the front face, the bottom rear plane comprising a bottom rear length extending from the rearward pivot axis to the rear face, wherein the bottom rear length is greater than the bottom front length;
- and
- a detachable trail foot support.
The golf swing force shift indicator kit of 15, the golf swing force shift indicator further comprising a handle opening extending through the top face and the bottom rear face, the handle opening comprising an inner contact surface and a gripping portion extending from the handle opening to the rear face, wherein the detachable trail foot support is configured to engage with the inner contact surface of the handle opening.
The golf swing force shift indicator kit of 16, wherein the detachable trail foot support comprises a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface comprises a downward slant relative to the bottom surface to form a back heel and a front edge.
The golf swing force shift indicator kit of 17, wherein the bottom surface comprises a coupler element having an outer perimeter configured to engage and form a friction fit with the inner contact surface.
The golf swing force shift indicator kit of 18, the detachable trail foot support further comprising one or more support flanges disposed at the back heel, wherein each of the one or more support flanges is configured to engage and form a friction with the rear face.
The golf swing force shift indicator kit of 18, wherein the gripping portion is configured to be disposed between the coupler element and the one or more support flanges.
