Abstract
A swing path training apparatus includes a support structure and a path member supported on the support structure. The path member includes an inner guide and an outer guide defining a path therebetween. The path tracks the geometry of a swing path. The path member also includes a closed end connecting the inner guide and the outer guide and an opening configured to allow a racquet to be inserted into or removed from the path. A method of training a swing path apparatus is also disclosed.

A swing path training apparatus, comprising:
- a support structure;
- and
- a path member supported on the support structure, the path member including
- a first guide and a second guide defining a path therebetween, wherein the path tracks the geometry of a swing path,
- a closed end connecting the first guide and the second guide, and
- an opening configured to allow a racquet to be inserted into or removed from the path,
- wherein the support structure includes a support having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is connected to the path member, and the second end having a clamp, wherein the clamp is configured to be connected to a post.
A swing path training apparatus, comprising:
- a support structure;
- a path member supported on the support structure, the path member including
- a first guide and a second guide defining a path therebetween, wherein
- the path tracks the geometry of a swing path,
- a closed end connecting the first guide and the second guide, and
- an opening configured to allow a racquet to be inserted into or removed from the path;
- and
- a spin guide adjacent the opening, the spin guide having a wedge shape configured to affect an orientation of the racquet.
A method of training a swing path, comprising:
- inserting a racquet into a path of a path member via an opening, the path being defined between a first guide and a second guide, wherein the path tracks the geometry of a swing path of the racquet;
- positioning the racquet near a closed end of the path member;
- and
- swinging the racquet along the path towards the opening, wherein the racquet is a tennis racquet, and further comprising positioning a throat of the tennis racquet in the path near the closed end of the path member.
