Abstract
A golf swing trainer employs a solid steel shaft homogeneously weighted throughout its entire length. One end of the shaft is fitted with a standard golf club grip and the other end of the shaft is fitted with a rubber tip to afford some protection for walls, floors and furnishings should the golfer elect to use the device indoors. A golf club head can be used instead of this tip for visual or psychological reasons. The top of the shaft bears a straight line indicia as a club face reference. The homogeneously weighted shaft so closely positions the center of gravity of the training device to the center of gravity of an actual golf club on a correct swing path as to break down incorrect muscle memory and simultaneously develop the muscle memory appropriate to the correct golf swing. Having programmed the muscles to repeat the proper motion by use of the trainer, the golfer is able to allow muscle memory to cause a repetition of the proper swing rather than mentally processing the components of the swing as the swing is made, a process most golfers recognize to be a futile exercise leading to disaster.
