Abstract
An apparatus and method for training a golfer to achieve the proper club position at impact. The apparatus includes a tether having two ends. One end is connected to the head of a golf club type device at a location offset from the axis of the shaft. The other end is connected to a stationary support. The apparatus is used by causing the user to emulate a golf swing, the resistance in the tether forcing the user to achieve a square club face and forward leaning shaft in the impact zone.
