Golf swing trainer

A swing training device adapted for instructing and improving the swinging of a sports implement, and which is secured between the upper arm of a sports player and the grip end of the sports implement, said device comprising:

• a telescopic member having an inner arm link tube and an outer arm link tube, with said inner arm link tube having freely sliding and rotational movement relative to said outer arm link tube, said telescopic member also configured and positioned for telescopic movement along the inside portion of the upper arm of a sports player and having a first end associated with said inner arm link tube and a second end associated with said outer arm link tube;
• an armband having a swivel connection to said first end of said telescopic member;
• and
• grip attachment means adapted for pivoting connection to said second end of said telescopic member, said grip attachment means also adapted for fixed association with the grip end of a sports implement during the time that the implement is held by a sports player and swung, so that when said armband is secured around the player's upper arm in a position allowing telescopic movement along the inside portion of the connected upper arm, and when said grip attachment means is also placed in close association with the grip end of the sports implement at a location on the sports implement that consequently establishes an angle between the player's connected upper arm and the sports implement while it is held in the player's hands, then throughout a swing of the sports implement that concomitantly swings said training device, said telescopic member, said swivel connection, and said pivoting connection all work in concert to provide smooth angle and rotational changes of the player's lower arm that produce efficient swinging movement, while absolute alignment of the golfer's connected upper and lower arm is maintained relative to the sports implement, thereby conditioning the player's arm, wrist, and hands to the proper sequence of movements, rhythm, and timing of an efficient swing.
