Definitions

  • This invention relates to a golf training device for training a person to develop the proper motion for a sound golf swing.
  • the present invention is characterized by erecting extensional stanchions near both ends of a semicircular ballast base, pivoting on the ends of said stanchions a track loop, providing a means adapted to permit the height of said stanchions to coincide with the height of the shoulder of a golfer standing at the middle between said stanchions, and providing a means for selectively adjusting said track loop on both stanchions so as to allow the angle between the club and the body of the golfer at the moment the club strikes a ball to coincide with the angle between said stanchions and said track loop, and thereby allow the club head to swing along said track loop.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a golf training device which has a track to be traced by the club head and which is thereby serviceable to practice swings repeatedly so as to develop a proper swing in order to make rapid progress without receiving special coaching by a professional golfer.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf training device which is very simple in construction, and accordingly easy to manufacture, easy to handle, and low in pnce.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged side view of the a portion of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating the use of the preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 showing a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention
  • semicircular ballast base 1 made of metal material having a diameter from 2.8 to 3 meters there are provided integral hollow square stanchion supports 2a, 2b so as to support therein first square stanchions 3a, 3b having slidably positioned therein second square stanchions 4a, 4b provided with holes a, 10b.
  • Track loop 5 made of metal material having a diameter from 2.8 to 3 meters is pivoted by means of stop collars 6a, 6b on the ends of second square stanchions 4a, 4b.
  • Slotted link plates 70, 7b are pivotally connected to track loop 5 and have the slots thereof fitted over bolts integral with second square stanchions 4a, 4b so as to adjust freely the angle between said track loop 5 and said second square stanchions 4a, 4b.
  • second stanchions 4a, 4b are fixed within first square stanchions 3a, 3b by means of check pins 9a, 9b inserted into holes I0a, 10b after suitably adjusting the height. After adjusting the angle between track loop 5 and the stanchions, track loop 5 is fixed to second square stanchions 4a, 4b by suitable means such as wing nuts 8a, 8b.
  • a trainee 11 will stand at the middle of line 15 connectings uare stanchions 3a, 4a and square stanchions 3b, 4b.
  • the heig t of square stanchions 4a, 4b is then adjusted by extension out of square stanchions 3a, 3b and fixed by means of check pin 9a, 9b so as to allow the height of stop collars 6a, 6b on track loop 5 to coincide with the height of the trainees shoulder.
  • the trainee will then assume his usual stance in addressing the ball 13 on mat 14 with club 12.
  • the angle between track loop 5 and square stanchions 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b is then adjusted by means of slotted link plates 7a, 7b and fixed by means of wing nuts 84, 8b so as to coincide with the angle between the trainees body and the line from his shoulder to ball 13 through his hand and club 12.
  • a path traced along track loop 5 by a club swung in this manner is the path of the club when a proper swing is practiced. Therefore, when the trainee practices his golf swing along said track loop 5 he can duplicate the proper swing so as to acquire skill in the game.
  • the golf training device in accordance with the present invention can be manufactured at a relatively low price and be very serviceable for all golfers to improve the technique of their golf play. And in addition, this device is simple in construction and easy in handling, whereby one is able to practice swings scientifically without receiving special coaching by a professional golfer.
  • a golf swing training device comprising a semicircular ballast base, integral stanchion supports at respective ends of said base, a first pair of stanchions extending upwardly from said supports, a second pair of stanchions positioned within and adjustably extensible from said first pair of stanchions, a circular track loop, a pair of stop collars engaging said track loop at opposed circumferential positions, means pivotally connecting said stop collars to the top ends of said second pair of stanchions, a pair of slotted link plates having first ends thereof pivotally attached to said track loop and the slots thereof fitted over bolts integral with said second pair of stanchions, said plates being selectively movable along said bolts, and means for selectively fixing the position of said plates with respect to said second pair of stanchions, whereby the angle of said track loop with respect to said stanchions may be selectively varied.
