Abstract
A golf swing training device, in which a golf club or golf club simulating device is propelled by the arms and hands of a person along a desired arcuate trajectory under an optimal amount of muscular force, maintains the hands of the user on a single optimal plane, while allowing the club to travel on a separate plane through a structure containing a plurality of rotational means allowing all necessary anatomically desireable movements.
Claims12
A swing training device for practicing the propelling by a person's arms and hands of a club along a defined, arcuate trajectory of a given radius, above a ground plane according to said person's given height and arm length, said device comprising:
- a stationary frame;
- a movable elongated structure pivotable about a first axis and carried on said frame, with a second pivotable means at one end, the axis of which is substantially parallel to the said first axis;
- a second movable structure connecting to said second pivotable means which supports a third pivotable means, the axis of which is substantially perpendicular to the second said axis;
- a third movable structure supported by the third pivotable means which supports a fourth pivotable means, the axis of which is substantially perpendicular to the third said axis;
- a means for retaining a club by the third movable structure such that said club can freely rotate about said fourth axis.
A swing training device for practicing the propelling by a person's arms and hands of a sport implement along a defined, arcuate trajectory of a given radius, above a ground plane according to said person's given height and arm length, said device comprising:
- a sporting implement;
- a stationary frame;
- a movable structure shaped and dimensioned to hold said implement;
- and
- an articulated assembly linking said frame to said structure;
- wherein said articulated assembly is composed, shaped and dimensioned to confine the gripped portion of said implement within a single optimal trajectory during repeated movements imparted to said implement by said person's arms and hands.
A swing training device which retains the grip portion of a club on a defined, inclined, arcuate trajectory of a given radius, above a ground plane, and allows said club's axis of gravity to travel on a separate arcuate trajectory of different inclination.
A swing training device which retains a club by an articulated structure supporting four degrees of rotation.
