Abstract
A hook shaped or generally concave hip-turn restrictor provides for maximizing the differential angle between a golfer's shoulder and hip so that an increased torsional force will be transferred from the golfer's torso to a golf ball. The generally concave member receives and engages a golfer's hips and is rotatable about a pivot axis but for a stop member which limits rotation of the generally concave member during the backswing of a golf swing.
Claims34
A hip-turn restrictor for aiding a golfer in the development of a wide differential angle between the hip-turn and upper body turn comprising:
- a support member adapted for upright service;
- a generally concave member for receiving and engaging a golfer's hips coupled to the support member for rotation relative thereto about a pivot axis;
- and
- stop means coupled to one of said support member and said generally concave member for limiting rotation of the generally concave member relative to the support member during the backswing portion of a golf swing and permits the execution of a full golf swing.
A hip-turn restrictor for aiding a golfer in the development of a wide differential angle between the hip-turn and upper body turn comprising:
- a support member adapted for upright service;
- a hinge member having a first hinge plate and a second hinge plate, the first and second hinge plates being pivotably coupled together, and the first hinge plate being coupled to the support member;
- a generally concave member for receiving and engaging a golfer's hips coupled to said second hinge plate for rotation relative thereto about a pivot axis;
- and
- a stop member coupled to one of said support member and said generally concave member for limiting rotation of the generally concave member during the backswing portion of a golf swing and permits the execution of a full golf swing.
A hip-turn restrictor for aiding a golfer in the development of a wide differential angle between the hip-turn and upper body turn comprising:
- a support member adapted for upright service;
- universal coupling means attached to said support member for permitting a gimbaling motion thereabout;
- a generally concave member for receiving and engaging a golfer coupled to the universal coupling means;
- and
- a stop member coupled to one of the support member and said generally concave member for limiting turning movement of the generally concave member relative to said support member during the backswing portion of a golf swing and permits the execution of a full golf swing.
