Abstract
The present invention covers a swing trainer arrangement for providing recognizable signals to the user/holder of a sports club or racket to indicate the optimum swing and strike locations during playing with a ball or puck. The swing trainer arrangement comprises a first stopper and a second stopper each may be adjustably arranged to be supported at a selected location of a shaft or handle of the sports club or racket. At least one movable member is arranged to be slideably disposed between the first and second stoppers to generate a signal when they hit one another of a stopper as to indicate certain preferred arcuate swing locations of the shaft or handle during such play thereof, or indicate to the user as to inaccuracies of that swing when a sound is produced before or after the club swings through an optimum location for hitting a ball, puck or the like.
