Golf swing muscle strengthener and swing developer device

A combination comprising a shaft having an upper and lower end, a handle portion having two ends, the handle portion located at the upper end of the shaft and a golf swing muscle strengthener and swing developer device, said device including a member having an arcuate portion and two ends, a first and second means for clamping the arcuate member to each end of the handle portion;

• a first member;
• a means for adjustablely connecting the first member to the arcuate member;
• at least one weight insertable onto the first member;
• a first means for retaining the weight, said retaining means located below the weight;
• and wherein the means for adjustablely connecting the first member to the curved member is adjusted so that the weight is directly below a user's hands while the user takes a stance to commence a swing in a plane so the lower end of the shaft is square to the swing line throughout the swing.

A combination comprising a shaft having an upper and lower end and a handle portion located at the upper end of shaft in combination with at least one weight,

• a structural member having two ends and an arcuate portion;
• means for connecting the structural means at each end of the handle portion of the shaft;
• a downwardly extending member for supporting the weight, said extending member having an upper and lower end;
• an adjustable means for adjustablely locating the downwardly extending member so that the weight may be located directly below the hands of the user of the combination, said adjustable means connected to the downwardly extending member and slidably connected to the arcuate portion of the structural member so that when weight is fixed in a position below hands of the user by the adjustable means;
• a disk connected to the downwardly extending member, said disk connected to the lower end of the downwardly extending member, said disk having projections along the periphery of the disk;
• an assembly including a tubular member, said tubular member having a lower end rotatably insertable over the downwardly extending member;
• the assembly further having a horizontal member connected to the lower the lower end of the tubular member for directly supporting weights, said assembly lowered down the downwardly extending member so that the assembly rests on the disk;
• the horizontal member having a bottom portion and an inner wall forming the periphery of a symmetrical hollow portion in the bottom portion of the horizontal member, the hollow portion encircling and rotatably resting on the disk so that the weight supported by the horizontal member is in turn supported by the disk;
• at least one protrusion extending from the inner wall of the horizontal member towards the center of the hollow portion of the horizontal member so that when the movement of the weight causes the assembly to rotate, the assembly in turn causes the protrusion to rub against the projections of the disk in turn causing a sound to be generated whereby a user of the combination realizes that the user's swing would have resulted in a golf ball to be sliced or hooked if the combination had been used to hit the golf ball.

Golf stroke training apparatus, comprising:

• handle means having an axis and being of sufficient length to be grasped by both of the hands to an adult golfer in an interlocked hand grip;
• handgrip means covering at least part of said handle means;
• weight means which are adjustable in weight and are symmetrical about an axis of symmetry;
• and
• weight supporting means capable of supporting said weight means in a fixed position and orientation with respect to said handle means so that said axis of symmetry passes through said handgrip and the angle between said handle axis and said axis of symmetry remains fixed when said golf stroke training apparatus is swung by a golfer in practice, and said angle lies between 25 degrees and 40 degrees.
