Swing training device and method of using same

A one-piece swing training device for use on sporting implements having a substantially straight shaft, comprising:

• a tapered sporting implement attachment section having a narrower end portion located at one end of the sporting implement attachment section and a wider end portion located at another end of the sporting implement attachment section;
• a cylindrical section operatively attached to the sporting implement attachment section wherein the cylindrical section includes a cylindrical tube, a weight retainer located at one end of the cylindrical tube and a removable end cap located at another end of the cylindrical tube, wherein the weight retainer includes a removable magnetized end cap and an adjustable weight magnetically retained on the removable magnetized end cap;
• and
• an adjustable insert located within the sporting implement attachment section such that the adjustable insert interacts with a section of a sporting implement having a substantially straight shaft to assist in retaining the swing training device on the sporting implement.

A method of using a swing training device, wherein the swing training device includes a tapered sporting implement attachment section and a cylindrical section operatively attached to the sporting implement attachment section wherein the cylindrical section includes a cylindrical tube, a weight retainer located at one end of the cylindrical tube and a removable end cap located at another end of the cylindrical tube, wherein the weight retainer includes a removable magnetized end cap and an adjustable weight magnetically retained to the removable magnetized end cap, comprising the steps of:

• selecting, by a user, a type of a sporting implement to be used by the user,
• selecting a size of a swing training device that is to be removably attached to the sporting implement;
• selecting a desired magnetic strength of a removable, adjustable magnetized end cap;
• selecting a desired size of an adjustable weight;
• inserting the weight into a cylindrical tube;
• fastening the removable magnetized end cap to the cylindrical tube;
• attaching the weight to the magnetized end cap;
• attaching the sporting implement attachment section to the sporting implement positioning the user in an initial swing stance;
• swinging the sporting implement such that wrists of the user are rolled thereby causing the adjustable weight to become separated from the magnetized end cap;
• impacting the removable end cap with the adjustable weight thereby causing the removable end cap to emit a sound and a light which are determinative as to when wrists of the user were rolled;
• and
• measuring a velocity at which the user is swinging the sorting implement.
