Abstract
A racquet swing training system utilizes a cover having hooks coupled thereto that are configured to couple with elastic bands to provide resistance during a swing motion. The hook on the cover is effectively retained and secured by a stiffener plate. In addition, the hooks may be coupled with a pivot to enable the hooks to rotate down parallel with the cover for compact storage. A plurality of hooks may be configured on the cover to provide different training options. A plurality of elastic bands may be provided and some may provide higher resistance than others.
