Abstract
A golf stance trainer for monitoring a golfer's stance during a golf swing comprises a superstructure having at least one of a sensor for monitoring buttock positioning, a sensor for monitoring hip positioning, and a sensor for monitoring leg positioning during a golf swing. The sensor is actuated in response to a pivotal movement of a member that engages the golfer's buttocks, hips or leg, and signals the golfer that the swing is improper. The buttocks engaging member pivots about a horizontal axis, and the hip and leg engaging members pivot about vertical axes.

A golf stance trainer for monitoring a golfer's stance during a golf swing comprising:
- a superstructure including a stationary support;
- at least one of means for monitoring buttock positioning, means for monitoring hip positioning, and means for monitoring leg positioning during a golf swing mounted on said support;
- the means for monitoring comprising an actuation member mounted by a pivot on the support;
- the actuation member being pivotable by contact with at least one of a buttock, a hip, and a leg of the golfer;
- a sensor module for providing the golfer with feedback indicative of body part movement when actuated;
- and the sensor module being responsive to pivoting of the actuation member a predetermined distance with respect to said stationary support.
A golf stance trainer comprising:
- a superstructure including a plurality of supports;
- means for monitoring buttock positioning and movement including a buttock sensing member and a pivot structure pivotally interconnecting the member and one of said supports for pivotal movement of the member about a substantially horizontal axis;
- the member presenting a portion for engagement by a golfer's buttock when the golfer assumes a golf stance;
- and signaling means responsive to a pivoting of the member a predetermined distance for providing feedback to a golfer in the event of the member pivoting said predetermined distance during a golf swing.
