Abstract
An apparatus and method is described for providing training and visual feedback of a preferred swing. The apparatus includes bands that are secured to the arms or legs of a user and an alignment member that is attached to the bands. In use, the ends of the alignment member are visible to the user throughout an entire swing of a sport equipment without requiring head movement of the user. By observing the position of the ends of the alignment member relative to the body of the user, the user or trainer is able to determine whether a preferred swing is being executed by the user.
Claims13
A training device, comprising:
- first and second bands suitable for securing to limbs of a user;
- an alignment member coupled to said first and second bands with corresponding first and second coupling brackets, said alignment member coupled to said bands approximately transverse to a longitudinal axis of each of said bands, said alignment member having uncoupled proximal and distal ends that extend beyond outward facing sides of said first and second bands;
- wherein said alignment member couples to said first and second coupling brackets by sliding through bushings of each of said coupling brackets;
- wherein said first coupling bracket includes at least one bushing comprised of a material having a high coefficient of friction to reduce sliding of the alignment member through said bushing;
- and wherein said second coupling bracket includes at least one bushing comprised of a material having a low coefficient of friction to facilitate sliding of the alignment member through said bushing.
A training device, comprising:
- bands suitable for securing to limbs of a user;
- and
- an alignment member coupled to said bands, said alignment member coupled to said bands approximately transverse to a longitudinal axis of said bands, said alignment member having uncoupled proximal and distal ends of said alignment member that extend beyond outward facing sides of said bands,
- wherein said bands and alignment member are coupled together with coupling brackets, said bands being coupled to said coupling brackets in a manner to allow pivoting of said bands during a swing.
