Definitions
- the traditional concepts of a good golf swing may involve a series of interrelated and independent actions on the part of the golfer. While no two golfers who possess a great amount of skill have identical golf swings, there may be certain actions involved in a good golf swing that a golfer must either do or not do. For example, golf instructors may often teach a right-handed golfer to keep his left arm straight during the back swing and through impact of the golf club with the golf ball being struck.
- the well-executed golf swing involves hand-eye coordination as well as shoulder and head positioning. What is needed is a system, method and/or device for teaching a golfer proper head and shoulder positioning during a golf swing so that a golfer may be taught, and repeat, the elements of a fundamentally sound golf swing.

It will be appreciated that indicatingportion 12 may also be made of a soft foam, fabric, or other comfortable material to provide feedback to a golfer when it contacts the golfer's head and/or head area. Positioningportion 14 may be made of elastic or stretchable fabric, spandex-type, other stretchable fabric, or other comfortable fabric, as desired. Securingportion 16 may be a hook and loop type configuration, adhesive, friction coupling, or other type of method or system to couple the ends together. -
FIG. 2 shows the system utilized byavid golfer 20 when avid golfer has an improper backswing as shown by directional arrow “A.” In this particular figure, the golfer has taken the club away abruptly outside of the target line, causing the golfer's back shoulder to move higher than the other shoulder. As a result, the indicatingportion 12 may move and provide tactile indication of the improper head and/or shoulder position during the swing. In thisinstance indicating portion 12 contacts the golfer's head, thereby providing thegolfer 20 with sensory and/or tactile feedback that the takeaway/back swing is improper. -
FIG. 3 shows the use of asystem 10 being utilized byavid golfer 20. In this figureavid golfer 20 is at the top of the swing. Furthermore, avid golfer has used a fundamentally sound swing and therefore indicatingportion 12 is not touching the golfer's head area. As shown indicatingportion 12 will not contactavid golfer 20's general head area until after the swing is complete. As discussed above and below, indicatingportion 12 will contact the head and/or neck area ofavid golfer 20 if an improper swing is initiated or accomplished. Againsystem 10 may include apositioning portion 14 which may be selectably adjustable to move the position of indicatingportion 12 with respect to the head ofavid golfer 20, as desired. -
FIG. 4 showssystem 10 being used by anavid golfer 20. As shown in this figure,positioning portion 14 may be configured to be adjacent to a golfer's back shoulder (he back shoulder being the right shoulder of a right-handed golfer or the left shoulder of a left-handed golfer). Positioningportion 14 may be positioned such that indicatingportion 12 may be near a golfer's head. With this configuration and position, if a golfer uses the correct head and shoulder positioning during a swing, the golfer's head may not come in contact with indicatingportion 12. - As shown,
positioning portion 14 may be adjacent to a golfer's shoulder and securingportion 16 may secure under the golfer's opposite arm, such that it may be comfortable and selectively positional for each individual golfer, such that indicatingportion 12 may be positioned at many different locations adjacent a golfer's head. InFIG. 2 the golfer has executed an improper downswing along directional arrow “B” in that the right shoulder of the player is moving outside of the target line, forcing the golf club to move across the ball on an outside to inside swing path. As a result, indicatingportion 12 contacts the golfer's head and provides the golfer with sensory and/or tactile indication that the downswing has been improper. It will be appreciated that although positioningportion 14 is shown generally covering a golfer's back shoulder, that other configurations and positions may be utilized to position indicatingportion 12 near a golfer's head to provide sensory feedback when the player's swing is improper. This selectively positional configuration may also be utilized for different size and type of golfer such that it may be utilized for virtually any golfer with any golf swing, however unorthodox. - The device disclosed herein may be new and revolutionary in both concept and design. The device's unique shape, size and strategic location on the shoulder/neck may provide the player sensory feedback during correct and/or incorrect elements of a fundamentally sound golf swing. Muscle memory, once developed, may be difficult to change in the absence of regular, consistent reminders. This may be provided by exemplary embodiments, which may be designed to provide proper feedback to the golfer, with or without the presence of a qualified teaching professional.
- Exemplary embodiments may provide mobility for the user, and may conform to the golfer's individual physical characteristics and stature, and non-intrusive and non-cumbersome to use. These features of the configuration may make the device more appealing to users. Exemplary embodiments may also offer the golfer opportunities to develop or improve his/her bio-mechanical swing pattern during practice sessions on the driving range and to reinforce them during “on course” play.
- Exemplary embodiments disclosed herein may promote the proper shoulder rotation necessary to a fundamentally proper golf swing consistent with current PGA (Professional Golfers' Association) teaching methods, and consistent scoring success. Through the presence or absence of feedback and/or indication, exemplary embodiments may encourage the proper bio-mechanical swing in general, and shoulder rotation in particular, by indicating to the golfer when they lapse into the two most common culprits of poor swings: the excessively steep backswing, in which the golf club is drawn back with an uneven, rocker-panel shoulder motion rather than a rotation of the shoulders about the neck, and the “over-the-top” downswing, in which the club head becomes an axe blade swinging down and over (rather than around and through) the ball and outside the target line.
- In addition, exemplary embodiments may enable golfers to train themselves in the “non-restricted” swing pattern employed by many male and female golfing professionals, and others. By providing feedback to the player, exemplary embodiments may train a golfer's head to stay in line with the center of the chest during the golf swing. This may help eliminate another common swing error-swinging “from the top” (another name for the “over-the-top” problem mentioned above), and may promote/enhance the golfer's shifting his/her weight in the proper sequence and at the proper time to enable the body to focus more energy into the swing, thus releasing and directing it towards the target.
- The “getting to the left,” an action, which must occur at the right time for a more proper swing, is common to all swings, traditional and non-restricted. When this “shift” occurs prematurely or late, the best result is that distance will be compromised, with other results ranging from slices and duck hooks to sky balls and “hosels.” While the classic PGA swing pattern stresses eye contact on the ball through point and/or time of impact, in the “non-restricted” swing, the player does not look at the ball at impact (the amount of time the golfer would not be looking directly at the ball from beginning of downswing until impact is less than two-tenths of a second), but rather synchronizes the head turn with the body turn, rotating both in the direction of the target simultaneously. This may also promote another of golf's instructional mandates—“let the ball get in the way of the swing”—and may eliminate some of the elements of timing involved in squaring the clubface to the line of swing at the point of impact, because this “squaring-up” may occur naturally as a direct consequence of the non-restricted swing.
- Whether for the classic or non-restricted swing, exemplary embodiments disclosed herein may allow a player to target one specific area of the golf swing with the proper placement adjacent the shoulder. Golfers may then hold themselves accountable to a single swing malady at a time, allowing them to address and eliminate these flaws individually, rather than working on everything simultaneously. Relocating the device at different positions in relation to the shoulder may permit feedback in multiple areas, putting the entire swing into context for the user
- The main components of a golf swing may be universally taught and appropriate to players of all ability levels. Because the primary flaws in proper technique may be common across all ability levels, exemplary embodiments are of potential use to every golf teaching professional in the country as well as to every golfer interested in unmistakable and accurate feedback as a way to improving their swing by developing muscle memory consistent with fundamentally sound swing mechanics. In addition, with the growing popularity of the non-restricted swing, the increasing recognition that it may lead to effective habits, and its special usefulness to those with physical challenges, this device may be unique in its adoptability to incorporate the central feature of the non-restricted swing while adhering to the other key elements of a biomechanically correct swing, and in reinforcing it during golf range practice sessions as well as on the course during a round. Those with infirmities that restrict mobility can especially benefit from the method and the apparatus. Those with bad hips, prostheses, painful lower backs (perhaps due to the strain induced by the “reverse C” finish position characteristic of many classic swings), or otherwise limited mobility (perhaps due to excess weight), can better groove their swings and “get to the left” more efficiently and painlessly. That is, a correct finish position—more level and more vertical than the still-correct-but-difficult “reverse C”—is achievable more consistently by a greater proportion of players.
- While the exemplary embodiments have been described with regard to exemplary embodiments, it is recognized that additional variations may be devised and/or utilized without departing from the concepts disclosed herein. In closing, it is to be understood that the embodiments described herein are illustrative of the principles of exemplary embodiments. Other modifications that may be employed are within the scope of this disclosure. Thus, by way of example, but not of limitation, alternative configurations may be utilized in accordance with the teachings herein. Accordingly, the drawings and description are illustrative and not meant to be a limitation thereof.
