Golf Swing Guide Assembly for Correct Club Path Practice
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Golf players, especially beginners, struggle to maintain the correct swing posture during practice due to the abstract nature of the swing path, which is difficult to pinpoint and correct without a coach, leading to the development of incorrect habits.
Innovation Solution
An auxiliary device comprising a clamping assembly and a sector assembly that guides the club along an elliptical trajectory, ensuring correct swing posture by clamping onto the golf club and unfolding into an arc-shaped fan surface to maintain the correct swing path.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a coach manually guides and corrects swing movements, then the swing path can be corrected, but the correction is based on abstract concepts that are difficult to pinpoint and maintain accurately
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a physical guide device with a curved guide surface that acts as an intermediary between the abstract swing path concept and the golfer's club. The guide surface provides tangible contact points that define the correct swing trajectory, transforming the abstract coaching instruction into a concrete physical reference that the golfer can follow and maintain independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The guide device is pre-configured with the correct swing path geometry built into its curved surface. This preliminary setup eliminates the need for real-time abstract correction during practice, as the physical structure itself encodes the proper swing trajectory that the golfer simply needs to follow by maintaining contact between the club and the guide surface.
2Productivity
If persistent swing practice is performed without proper guidance, then muscle memory is developed, but incorrect swing postures are reinforced making future correction difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The guide device serves as a continuous physical intermediary during practice sessions, providing real-time tactile feedback when the club deviates from the correct path. This immediate physical correction prevents the reinforcement of incorrect postures while maintaining high practice volume, as the guide surface passively enforces proper form without requiring constant active correction.
3Stability of the object's composition
If the club-holding hand posture is maintained during self-practice, then swing consistency improves, but it becomes hard to maintain the correct posture without external supervision
Solution Approach 1:
The guide device enables self-service correction by providing automatic physical feedback when the club posture deviates from correct form. The curved guide surface inherently enforces proper hand positioning and club orientation through contact geometry, allowing the golfer to self-correct and maintain stable posture during independent practice without requiring external supervision or complex adjustment mechanisms.

AI summary
An auxiliary device for practicing golf swing posture is provided, including: a housing, having a first housing base and a second housing base in an open manner; a clamping assembly, installed on the first housing base, and for clamping onto a shaft of a golf club; and a sector assembly, folded and stacked into a long square multi-layered structure forming an sector-shaped fan after unfolding. As such, when the user performs swing practice, the expanded arc-shaped fan surface is used to assist in maintaining the correct club-holding posture during the swing process.
