Abstract
A golf aid including a yoke portion with a pair of the divergent upper portions, a pair of forearm guide portions, one associated with each of the divergent upper portions of the yoke and a resilient means to bias the forearm guide portions into an extended condition whereby a user's forearms apply force to the forearm guide portions against the biasing force in order to maintain optimum spacing between the user's forearms.
Claims24
A golf aid comprising:
- a resilient V-shaped yoke with a pair of divergent upper portions and a resilient spacing means located between the pair of divergent upper portions,
- a pair of forearm guide portions, one associated with each of the divergent upper portions of the yoke, with a resilient means to bias the forearm guide portions into an extended condition, whereby a user's forearms apply force to the forearm guide portions against a biasing force in order to maintain optimum spacing between the user's forearms,
- a practice club associated with the yoke, the practice club comprising a shaft and a head, wherein the club is at least partially restricted from freely pivoting relative to the yoke, and
- a connector assembly comprising a hinge associated with a magnetic device to provide a removable connection between the yoke and the practice club, the hinge being releasably held in place by a tension clip, the tension clip being associated with the one of the forearm guide portions such that compression of the yoke moves the tension clip releasing the hinge and allowing the magnetic device to rotate about the hinge.
