Abstract
The present invention relates to a golf swing training device that guides and coordinates a user's body position and lateral, vertical, and rotational movement when executing a golf swing relative to a target line extending horizontally in the direction of an intended target from a predetermined point at which the user would strike a golf ball with a golf club. The golf swing training device according to the present invention includes a yoke, a rotatable member, and a guide assembly. The yoke engages the upper torso of the user. The rotatable member is connected to the yoke. The guide assembly maintains the orientation of the rotatable member while it simultaneously rotates and moves laterally and vertically as the user executes a golf swing. In a preferred embodiment, the golf swing training device further includes an extensible rod that is pivotally connected on one end to the yoke proximal to the position of the user's sternum and is connected on the other end by a hinge to a coupler which preferably clamps onto the grip end of a golf club.
