Abstract
A racket swing training apparatus providing a user-chosen static positioning of a tennis racket in the hand, at angles to the forearm, which are determinable and repeatable. The device further provides components to set the face angle of the racket engaged to the device and visual indica to allow for the same positioning in subsequent uses. A planar member is removably engageable in a translatable engagement with a cuff adapted for engagement to the user's forearm. The planar member has an aperture opposite the cuff which is adapted to encircle the grip of a racket and sized to prevent rotation of the racket axis past predetermined limits relative to the axis of the planar member.
Claims20
A tennis swing training apparatus comprising:
- an elongated member having a top surface and having a first end portion and a second end portion;
- a center axis running through said member;
- a cuff, said cuff having means of engagement of said cuff upon the forearm of a user;
- means of engagement of said first end portion to said cuff in an as-worn position;
- a member aperture defined by a side edge said member aperture communicating through said member at said second end portion, said member aperture having a diameter;
- said diameter of said member aperture adapted for a contact of said side edge with two opposing sides of a tennis racket grip end in an angled engagement of said tennis racket therein;
- and
- said member aperture in said contact thereby providing means for restriction of said angled engagement to an engagement angle of a central axis of said tennis racket relative to said center axis, said engagement angle being between a minimum angle and maximum angle.
