Abstract
A unique golf training apparatus is disclosed in which an arm guide is secured to the off arm of a golfer. A wrist guide is pivotally attached to the arm guide and positioned on the hand of a golfer. The pivotal attachment of the wrist guide to the arm guide ensures that the golfer's hand pivots properly relative to the forearm. The golf training apparatus ensures the golfer's arm and hand are properly positioned during the swing, eliminating 'open' or 'closed' swings. In one embodiment, the pivotal attachment of the arm guide to the wrist guide is through a wide integral pivot which rotates as a unit with the wrist guide. This integral pivot extends for the majority of the lateral dimension of the arm guide. This ensures that the wrist guide does not flex relative to the arm guide while pivoting, and results in the golfer hitting the ball more properly.
