Golf swing training apparatus includes a mounting bracket that holds a horizontal slide bar, mated to a swivel lateral traveler that attaches to one end of a coiled spring, and the other end to a flexible radius arm that is adjustable in length. The other end of the flexible arm is temporarily attached to the golf club during the practice session. Practice using the apparatus assists the golfer in developing a uniform swing plane, consistent clubhead control and conditioned muscle swing techniques that can improve his/her golf performance.

The disclosure herein describes a device to assist in the teaching of a golfer's swing and includes a rigid rod having one end mounted to a vertical surface attachment and an opposite end on which slides, through an appropriate connecting member, the shaft of a golf club or simulated club. The connection between rod and shaft allows a pivotal movement therebetween while that part of the connecting member in which is mounted the rod, allows it to freely slide longitudinally thus allowing an instructor or the golfer himself or herself to have an indication, as a result of the location of the connecting member on the rod, whether the golf swing is proper or improper for a given golfer.

A versatile swing training machine for developing muscular strength and coordination to perform athletic swings typical of baseball, golf, hockey, or tennis. A drive arm pivotably carried on a frame is engaged and forcibly driven in rotation by a partially guided hand-held swing implement, against a variable resistance developed by a resistance element and imparted through a linkage mechanism. The resistance element may include a fluid damping device and a mechanical spring, which also assists the return swing of the drive arm. The linkage mechanism transmits linearly developed resistance and translates it to torsional resistance on the drive arm, equally for right and left-handed swings. Optimum training resistance is gradually maximized through the acceleration zone of the swing and tapers off during the followthrough, being effective for the full forward swing. The backswing is relatively unresisted. Adjustments accommodate various swing positions as well as individual differences in height and reach.

A golf swing training apparatus is disclosed which is portable and positionable both indoors and outdoors. The golf swing training apparatus provides longitudinally adjustable vertical support structure, rotation training structure interconnected between the vertical support structure and a golf club, and a rotatable club attachment collar which secures the shaft of the club to the rotation training structure in a manner which allows the club to be swung through a perfect swing plane. The adjustability of the vertical support structure permits modification of the device to suit the height and body structure of the individual user so that an optimal swing plane may be achieved and practiced consistently. The adjustable length of the rotation training structure trains the user to rotate the arms and hips in a manner to keep the club in the proper swing plane while permitting the user to move naturally and unencumbered.

A limb movement exercising and training apparatus having a cable connected, at one end, to a weight plate and connected, at the other end, to a rotatable cam rail. A pivotal swing arm is connected to the cam rail to rotate the cam rail upon pivotal motion of the swing arm. Rotation of the cam rail pulls the cable and lifts the weight plate. A handle, or other suitable structure, is connected to the swing arm so as to pivot the swing arm and rotate the cam rail as a user moves a limb in an exercise or training motion. The outer peripheral shape of the cam rail and/or the location of the axis of rotation of the cam rail may be designed to require varying amounts of work or power to rotate the cam rail as the cam rail is rotated by varying degrees of rotation. Adjustment structure allows the height and angle of the cam rail and swing arm to be adjusted.
