Abstract
Apparatus and methods relating to a golf training aid having a pair of substantially coplanar shafts are disclosed herein. Swinging the golf training aid through a predetermined or proper swing plane may result in alignment of the shafts and/or members attached thereto. Separation or contact of the shafts or members attached thereto may be used to indicate proper acceleration or swing force.
Claims20
A golf training aid, comprising:
- a handle;
- a first shaft and a second shaft extending away from said handle, said first shaft and said second shaft substantially extending in a first plane;
- a first end member connected to a first terminal end of said first shaft, said first terminal end disposed opposite a first handle end connected to said handle;
- a second end member connected to a second terminal end of said second shaft, said second terminal end disposed opposite a second handle end connected to said handle;
- said first end member having a first attachment area proximate said second end member and said second end member having a second attachment area proximate said first end member;
- said first attachment area removably attachable to said second attachment area by an attachment mechanism when aligned in said first plane;
- and
- said first end member and said second end member separable by a swing force.
5 more elements
A golf training aid, comprising:
- a handle extending in a longitudinal direction;
- a first shaft and a second shaft each extending outwardly away from said handle at least partially in said longitudinal direction, said first shaft and said second shaft in substantially spaced apart relationship and substantially coplanar in a first plane;
- said first shaft having a first handle end connected to said handle and said second shaft having a second handle end connected to said handle;
- said first shaft having a first terminal end opposite said first handle end and said second shaft having a second terminal end opposite said second handle end;
- a first end member connected to said first terminal end of said first shaft;
- a second end member connected to said second terminal end of said second shaft, said second end member in a separable contact with said first end member in a resting condition and separable from said first end member when subjected to a swing force;
- said separable contact of said first end member and said second end member in said resting condition retaining said first shaft and said second shaft in spaced apart relationship;
- and
- said second shaft more flexible than said first shaft to allow separation of said first end member from said second end member when subjected to said swing force.
6 more elements
A golf training aid, comprising:
- a handle;
- a first shaft and a second shaft extending away from said handle, said first shaft and said second shaft substantially extending through a first plane;
- a first end member connected to a first terminal end of said first shaft opposite said handle;
- a second end member connected to a second terminal end of said second shaft opposite said handle;
- said first end member removably attached to said second end member by an attachment mechanism when aligned in said first plane;
- said second shaft more deflectable in said first plane than said first shaft due to a downswing having a downswing force;
- said first end member and said second end member separated by said downswing force;
- and
- wherein a substantial change in direction of said downswing away from said first plane causes a first attachment area of said first end member to become substantially unaligned in said first plane with, and unattachable to, a second attachment area of said second end member.
