Embodiment Construction

)

[0033]Referring now to the drawings, the preferred embodiment of the present invention generally concerns a golf swing connector training device 10 as generally illustrated and referenced in FIGS. 1-8. The golf swing connector training device 10 of the present invention essentially functions, when donned by a user, to maintaining a user's upper arms 100 at a fixed distance relative to one another during a dual-arm swing such as during a golf swing as generally depicted in FIGS. 1, and 7-9. In this regard, the reader is directed to FIGS. 1, 7, and 8. FIG. 1 is a fragmentary depiction of a user donning the device 10 adjacent the upper arm regions for enabling a full golf swing. Similarly, FIG. 7 depicts the golf swing connector training device 10 as donned by a user and showing device placement perspective within a swing triangle (shown in broken lines) for full swing use. FIG. 8 depicts the golf swing connector training device 10 as donned by a user adjacent the elbow regions and sh...

Abstract

A golf swing connector training device maintains a user's arms at a fixed distance during a dual-arm swing. The device comprises laterally opposite arm-receiving cuff assemblies and a lateral adjustment mechanism. Each cuff assembly comprises a C-shaped band assembly. The band assemblies each have an arc length, a dynamic radius of curvature, and a longitudinal cuff axis. The radii of curvature enable a relaxed cuff profile and an actuating cuff profile. The relaxed cuff profile defines a cuff axis, and the actuating cuff profile enables a user's upper arm to pass into and out of coaxial alignment with the static cuff axis. The lateral adjustment mechanism functions to selectively fix the distance intermediate the band assemblies. The device maintains the user's upper arms at a fixed distance relative to one another during a dual-arm swing and automatically connects the chest to the arms thereby creating the golf swing's perfect connection.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention generally relates to a training device for improving an athlete's gross arm motor movement. More particularly, the present invention relates to a training / practice device in order to create the proper connection between the chest and the arms for a golfer's swing.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]The present invention, preferably known as a golf swing connector or device, relates to a golf training / practice device. It is understood in the game of golf that the swing process is one of the more fundamental and important aspects in obtaining a consistent, dependable, and powerful result. However, in order to become proficient, a golfer must utilize a consistent, connected, and powerful motion that produces a result along a pre-selected path and pre-selected distance. Such a motion often takes years of practice and lessons to develop.[0005]It is also recognized that the most effective swing mo...
