first embodiment

[0015]Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2A for the golf swing training apparatus of the present invention. The golf swing training apparatus comprises a target portion 10, a ball capturing net 20, a bracing rack 30, a pressure sensor 40 and a display 50, which is used for a user to strike a golf ball 60 to do swing practice. In this embodiment the target portion 10 is fixedly attached to the bracing rack 30 and mounted upright on the ground. The target portion 10 contains a hit surface 11 which has at least one ball inlet 12 to receive the golf ball 60 and a ball outlet 13 located at a lower section of the target portion 10. The ball inlet 12 can be served as a target for the user to practice its accuracy of striking the golf ball 60. The number, size and location of the ball inlet 12 may be varied according to user's different needs or practice distances to enhance appealing and challenge of the swing practice.

[0016]The target portion 10 has two sides attached respectively to a first bal...

second embodiment

[0019]Refer to FIG. 3 for the present invention. The ball outlet 13 is connected to a ball guide track 80 to direct the rolling golf ball 60 to move along a desired direction. The ball guide track 80 has an inclined surface to give the golf ball 60 a greater return driving force to roll to user's striking spot.

[0020]As a conclusion, the swing training apparatus of the present invention mainly provides the golf ball a sufficient return driving force through the ball guide slope in the ball collection space to enable the golf ball to roll through the ball outlet to where the user strikes the ball. Hence the user does not have to walk to the swing training apparatus to gather and fetch the golf ball dropped in the ball collection space and prevent waste of time and physical effort, and also improve practice efficiency. In addition, by forming the ball gathering zone through the target portion, first ball fender and second ball fender, the golf ball not entering the ball inlet are gathe...

Abstract

A swing training apparatus includes an upright target portion and a ball capturing net. The target portion has a hit surface to be hit by golf balls. The hit surface has at least one ball inlet to receive the golf balls and a ball outlet at a lower section of the target portion. The ball capturing net is fastened to a side of the target portion to form a ball collection space therebetween. The ball collection space communicates with the ball inlet and ball outlet. The ball capturing net includes a ball guide slope leading to the ball outlet to direct the golf balls to leave the ball collection space through the ball outlet. Hence once the golf balls enter the ball inlet they can be retrieved easily for swing practice again without users going to the swing training apparatus to fetch the golf balls.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a golf swing training apparatus and particularly to a swing training apparatus capable of returning golf balls upon hitting targets during swing practice.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]With increased promotion by golf business and influences of golf tournaments shown in electronic media and broadcasting, population of golf sport grows constantly in recent years and golf thus becomes a fashionable recreational sport.
