Abstract
A guide for assisting a golfer to learn the feel of the body positions for carrying out a properly executed golf club swing. An elongated, generally C-shaped member is adjustably mounted for tilting movement on a lateral arm of an upright support. The member is tilted to the correct angle so that the planar undersurface of the member immediately overlies the plane of movement of the golfer's hands in carrying out the desired club swing with the golfer standing in an opening in one edge of the member. The member guides the golfer's hands in excecuting the swing. An arcuate edge of the member also serves as a guide for the hands. Structure is provided for placing the golfer's head or neck in the correct position for the practice swings. The guide is of lightweight construction and capable of ready disassembly for portability.

By setting the positioning bar in any one of a plurality of positions relative to the user, each of the proper body positions and swing motions can be reinforced thus improving the user's stance and wring during actual playing. All components of the device are made of a rigid high strength polyvinglchloride to prevent corrosion.

5538251 - Training apparatus for developing a golf swing

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.
