Abstract
A golf swing trainer consists of a support base for supporting a vertical shaft, the shaft having a flexible horizontal shaft extending from it and having at its other end a golf tee upon which a golf ball can rest. The horizontal shaft is capable of moving up and down in a vertical direction on the vertical shaft and remains relatively fixed to the vertical shaft by a suitable means. A player would practice using the golf swing trainer by hitting golf balls placed on the tee, initially when the horizontal shaft is at a high position relative to the support shaft, and when the player become adept at hitting the ball at the high position, the horizontal shaft would gradually be lowered, so that the player would be hitting the ball at lower and lower positions. This promotes the proper swing plane for the golf swing.
Claims5
A golf swing trainer comprising a support plate, an elongated vertical shaft having an upper end and a lower end, said vertical shaft extending vertically from said support plate at its lower end, a generally horizontal shaft having a first end and a second end extending from said vertical shaft, said horizontal shaft slidably mounted on said vertical shaft at its first end whereby said horizontal shaft is capable of rotating in a horizontal plane about said vertical shaft and sliding along said shaft vertically, means for fixing said horizontal shaft at selected vertical positions along said vertical shaft without restricting the horizontal rotation of said horizontal shaft whereby said horizontal shaft may be moved between a lower position proximate said support plate and a higher position proximate the upper end of said vertical shaft, and means including a flexible tee associated with said horizontal shaft for supporting a golf ball proximate the second end of said horizontal shaft so that a golf ball may be hit off said tee.
