Abstract
A golf swing training apparatus, for creating proper head-to-body alignment, assists a user thereof in acquiring muscle memory of a correct golf swing, while remaining substantially out of the user's field of vision. The training apparatus provides a support section and an engagement arm movably connected to the support section. The engagement arm terminates at an adjustably positionable pad, provided for comfortable contact with a dorsal surface of the user's neck during the process of swinging a golf club. The apparatus provides for accurate feedback of the correctness of the user's swing, while affording the user the freedom of movement, substantially without restriction.
Claims21
A golf swing training apparatus, comprising:
- a support section comprising a base, said base comprising a plurality of operatively interconnected tubular components;
- and
- an adjustable engagement arm extending from said support section and having a free end comprising an engagement member, said engagement arm being pivotally attached to said support section and being adjustable about a substantially horizontal axis, whereby said apparatus may be placed into either an operative configuration or a folded configuration;
