Benefits of technology
[0007]The invention is a simple apparatus which will enable a golfer to far more easily see the precise alignment of their shoulders, the aim of their shoulder-line, during the pre-shot stance address position, and at commencement of the backswing. Such an apparatus in the teaching of golf, and for a player during practice, will be of tremendous assistance in that correct upper-body alignment, as parallel to the target-line as the feet should be, is absolutely crucial to success in hitting a golf ball properly—straight, and solidly, and on-target.
Problems solved by technology
One of the top 2 or 3 problems I have encountered with golf students over all that time is body alignment, especially upper body and shoulder alignment when setting up to hit a shot.
Without good body alignment, it is virtually impossible to hit any sort of decent golf shot.
Nevertheless, shoulder alignment problems run rampant among most golfers.
However, this resulting deviation to alignment is completely unwitting.
The golfer doesn't realize it, doesn't feel it; but uncorrected, it will cause bad golf shots almost every time.
They then told me they couldn't sense much change, and they could not judge whether their shoulders were properly aligned, or not.
Because the eyes are so close to the chest and shoulder area, and because the chest is rounded, it is very difficult to get a perspective on upper-body alignment.

Embodiment Construction
[0013]The invention is comprised of two (2) rigid, straight, light-weight, thin-walled hollow aluminum tubes, each approximately eleven (11) inches in length. One tube is approximately 14 / 16 inches in outside diameter; the other, approximately 15 / 16 inches in inside diameter so the first tube can slide snugly all the way into the inside of it. At the outside end of each tube, a plastic end cap is cemented into place. There is a small hole through the center of each end cap through which an approximately ⅜ inch wide eye-hook protrudes to the outside, fastened to the end cap on the inside by two threaded lock-nuts. Attached through each eye-hook are one inch “D” rings. Heavy-duty riveted to the “D” rings on each end is a length of one-inch wide stretchy elastic strapping, each approximately eighteen (18) inches long, with attached one-inch buckles so each strap can double-back through said buckles to form adjustable length loops.

Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]NoneSTATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not applicableREFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISC APPENDIX[0003]Not applicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]The inventor is an instructor of golf and has studied the golf swing for more than 50 years. One of the top 2 or 3 problems I have encountered with golf students over all that time is body alignment, especially upper body and shoulder alignment when setting up to hit a shot. Without good body alignment, it is virtually impossible to hit any sort of decent golf shot. However, with good, square body alignment, everything nice and parallel to the target-line, especially the aim-line across the shoulders, even if one executes only a mediocre swing motion, the chances of a fairly decent golf shot resulting are still quite good.[0005]Shoulder alignment at address governs the path of the golf club's head during the swi...
