Abstract
A golf swing trainer apparatus for straightening or otherwise improving a golf swing. The golf swing trainer may include a rod, a handle connected on one end of the rod, a bulb disposed on the other end of the rod, and a magnetic base positioned in the middle of the rod. An impact sliding block may be constrained to move on the rod between the bulb and the magnetic base, and may be held in a rest position by the magnetic base. When the user makes a stroke with the trainer apparatus, the impact sliding block may be forced downward from the magnetic base and may impact the bulb, making a sound to provide the user with feedback about their golf swing.
