  • Patent number: 5445384
    Abstract: A golf training device including a hemispherical body adapted to be secured to the shoe sole of the user. The body is positioned laterally intermediate the sides of the shoe generally in the region of the ball of the foot. The body tends to elevate the front of the foot thereby shifting weight somewhat to the heel of the foot. During the backswing and downswing, the body rolls over the ground and magnifies the feeling resulting from the shifting of weight during the backswing and downswing. The device is retained in place by straps which extend over the top of the shoe and which can be secured by Velcro strips.
