Abstract
Golf swing training apparatus includes a first guide surface and a second, steeper golf club guide surface. The first guide surface is angularly adjustable to set the appropriate initial plane of the back swing for a particular golfer and the second guide surface is further angularly adjustable relative to the first guide surface to set the appropriate second plane of the back swing for the golfer using a particular golf club. To facilitate change-over from right-handed to left-handed operation, the second guide surface is releasably connectable to either of two upper ends of the apparatus. The frame structure is constructed out of a material which is rigid at approximately room temperature. At least the first golf club guide surface is disposed on a guide member secured to the rigid frame structure and formed from a polymeric material which is sufficiently flexible at room temperature so as to be bendable into an arcuate or curved shape which follows the swing path of the golfer. In another aspect of the invention, the entire apparatus is easily broken down or folded into a condition suitable for easy storage and transport.
