Abstract
A golf wrist training apparatus is attachable to the arm of the golfer-in-training, and controls the range of wrist movement during each of the various phases of a golf swing. The apparatus includes a hand-attachment member and a forearm-attachment member. The apparatus restricts enables the wrists to move freely in the lateral plane of motion, and restricts wrist movement within the forward/backward plane of motion. The backswing allowable range of motion is greater than the downswing allowable range of motion. The apparatus also includes a release mechanism which enables the apparatus to be easily reset prior to each use.
Claims30
A golf training apparatus to assist in controlling wrist movement of a golfer-in-training during address, backswing, downswing, impact, and follow-through, the apparatus comprising:
- (a) means to attach a hand-attachment member of the apparatus to a first hand and a forearm-attachment member of the apparatus to such forearm of the first hand of the golfer-in-training, the hand-attachment member relative to the forearm-attachment member forming an angle in a forward/backward plane, the forward/backward plane being normal to the first hand;
- and
- (b) restraint means to limit movement of the hand-attachment member relative to the forearm-attachment member within a range of motion in the forward/backward plane when the restraint means is engaged, the angle in the forward/backward plane being adjustable.
A golf training apparatus to assist in controlling wrist movement of a golfer-in-training during address, backswing, downswing, impact, and follow-through, the apparatus comprising:
- (a) means to attach a hand-attachment member of the apparatus to a first hand and a forearm-attachment member of the apparatus to such forearm of the first hand of the golfer-in-training the hand-attachment member relative to the forearm-attachment member forming an angle in a forward/backward plane, the forward/backward plane being normal to the first hand;
- (b) restraint means to limit movement of the hand-attachment member relative to the forearm-attachment member within a pre-set range of motion once engagement occurs;
- and
- (c) reset means to disengage the restraint means after the golfer-in-training has completed each swing.
A golf training apparatus to assist in controlling wrist movement of a golfer-in-training during address, backswing, downswing, impact, and follow-through, the apparatus comprising:
- (a) means to attach a hand-attachment member of the apparatus to a first hand and a forearm-attachment member of the apparatus to such forearm of the first hand of the golfer-in-training, the hand-attachment member relative to the forearm-attachment member forming an angle in a forward/backward plane, the forward/backward plane being normal to the first hand;
- (b) restraint means to limit movement of the hand-attachment member relative to the forearm-attachment member within the forward/backward plane of motion, the restraint means becoming engaged between the top of the backswing and prior to impact.
A golf training apparatus to assist in controlling wrist movement of a golfer-in-training during address, backswing, downswing, impact, and follow-through, the apparatus comprising:
- (a) means to attach a hand-attachment member of the apparatus to a first hand and a forearm-attachment member of the apparatus to such forearm of the first hand of the golfer-in-training, the hand-attachment member relative to the forearm-attachment member forming an angle in a forward/backward plane, the forward/backward plane being normal to the first hand;
- and
- (b) restraint means to limit movement of the hand-attachment member relative to the forearm-attachment member in the forward/backward plane of motion, the restraint means becoming engaged when the hand-attachment member relative to the forearm-attachment member reaches a preselected angle.
A golf training apparatus to assist in controlling wrist movement of a golfer-in-training during address, backswing, downswing, impact, and follow-through, the apparatus comprising:
- (a) means to attach a hand-attachment member of the apparatus to a first hand and a forearm-attachment member of the apparatus to such forearm of the first hand of the golfer-in-training, the hand-attachment member relative to the forearm-attachment member forming an angle in a forward/backward plane, the forward/backward plane being normal to the first hand;
- and
- (b) restraint means to limit movement of the hand-attachment member relative to the forearm-attachment member within a range of motion in the forward/backward plane when the restraint means is engaged;
- wherein once engagement occurs, the restraint means cannot be overcome by the golfer-in-training.
