A golf swing improvement device comprises a lower leg cradle and a support means. The lower leg cradle has a radiused, curved forward surface. An alternate embodiment comprises a below-foot spacer. The spacer has, in other embodiments, an attachment means.

The invention relates to a training apparatus (1) for optimizing a golf swing. The apparatus consists of at least one guide ring, which is positioned on a plane that is inclined in relation to the vertical by means of a support. The apparatus is characterized in that it is provided with two guide rings (2, 3), which are arranged approximately on the same plane, and which are held at least in certain sections in a support (4) at a distance from one another. The two guide rings (2, 3) are approximately elliptical and are designed to support a golf club. The training apparatus (1) enables a golfer to improve his or her swing by maintaining contact between the golf club and the two guide rings when following the ideal line.

A golf swing training apparatus including a golf club guide and a generally U-shaped support frame having spaced apart front and rear frame members connected together by a base frame member. The support frame is adjustably inclined to the ground or a working support surface at the lie angle of the golf club by a support arm. The golf club guide is positioned between the frame members and includes closely spaced apart front and rear guide ring segments which define a substantially planar circular shaped golf club swing slot therebetween, the swing slot having an unobstructed preferably adjustable width adapted for free swing a golf club therewithin. The front guide ring segment is attached to and is supported by the front frame members while the rear guide ring segment is attached to and is supported by the rear frame member.
