U.S. Pat. No. 4,758,001 to Otting, et al. illustrates two golf-practicing aids, one for preventing the improper shift of a golfer's rear leg and the other for preventing the improper swaying of the golfer's hips. U.S. Pat. No. 4,998,731 to Bowen illustrates a golf practice device that is able to train all aspects of the golf game. It is a simple tubular structure that can hold and guide the different parts of the body to get the proper feel of putting, chipping, pitching, and full swing and bunker shots. U.S. Pat. No. 5,221,089 to Barrett illustrates a golf swing training aid kit comprising three golf practice aids, each of which can be used independently or all three may be used together. U. S. Pat.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,634,858 to Bellagamba illustrates a golf training apparatus includes a head supporting stand having a supporting frame with a base and a vertically extending post which telescopes to different heights extending from the base. Too much sophisticated equipment. U.S. Pat. No. 5,707,300 to May, et al. illustrates a golf swing training apparatus designed to allow a golfer to practice full swing motions while actually hiring a golf ball. The device is made of pipes. U.S. Pat. No. 5,769,732 to O'Neal illustrates a golf training aid is provided which includes a generally rectangular base configured for supportive contact with a ball playing surface. The device is made of pipes too. U.S. Pat. No. 5,830,079 to Hudson illustrates a swing stance and movement training apparatus primarily for golf, but also for baseball and other swinging sports, having a buttocks bar, a rear hip bar and rear knee brace mounted on vertical supports at a height to abut a particular user's buttocks, hip and knees during a swing. U.S. Pat. No. 6,497,627 to Collins illustrates a golf swing instructional cage.

None of the prior arts introduces a golf swing position training aid kit so simple and increase the impact distance at the same time when used in a game.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is purpose of the current application to provide a golf swing position training aid kit that can be used in a game for tee off too. The portable golf swing position training aid kit of the current application is comprised of 1) a foot stepping panel, 2) a vertical member foldably connected to the foot stepping panel by a hinge, and 3) a saddle shape leg supporter attached on the upper end of the vertical member. The golf swing position training aid kit of the current application is made of light material, including but not limited to a plastic, wood and metal. The foot stepping plate is 90 cm long 45 cm wide. The length of the vertical member is in the range of 35 cm to 40 cm. The length of the saddle type leg supporter is 15 cm and the width is 15 cm. A soft material such as urethane rubber, silicon rubber, animal leather, and artificial leather is added to the inner surface of the saddle shape leg supporter. When a golfer use this kit at tee-off, the flying distance of the golf ball increases by stopping.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the portable golf swing position training aid kit (1) of the current application. The portable golf swing position training aid kit (1) of the current application is comprised of a foot stepping panel (2), a vertical member (3) foldably connected to the foot stepping panel (2) by a hinge (4), and a saddle shape leg supporter (5) attached on the upper end of the vertical member (3). The portable golf swing position training aid kit (1) of the current application is made of light material, including but not limited to a plastic, wood and metal. The foot stepping plate (2) is 90 cm long 45 cm wide. The length of the vertical member (3) is in the range of 35 cm to 40 cm. This length is to place the saddle type leg supporter (5) underneath of the knee (6) of the player (7). The length of the saddle type leg supporter (5) is 15 cm and the width is 15 cm.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the vertical member (3) and FIG. 3 is a rear view thereof. The vertical member (3) is comprised of a front pane (3-1), a saddle shape leg supporter (5) is attached thereon, a hinge supporter (3-2), two straight plates (3-3) connecting the hinge supporter (3-2) and the front panel (3-1), a front panel supporter (3-4) that prevents turn over of the vertical member (3) to the opposite side of the hinge (4), and two short straight plates (3-5) reinforcing the straight plates (3-3) at the bottom thereof.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged drawing of the saddle shape leg support (5). The leg support (5) is attached at the top end of the vertical member (3) to hold the leg (8) of the player (7). The knee (6) of the player (7) is located above the leg support (5). This is to maximize the rotating momentum of the swing.

FIG. 5 is a schematic drawing of the rotational momentum of a golf planer's swing. According to golf swing theory, the power transferred to the golf ball at the impact moment is known as generated from three different parts of a golf player (7). The three parts are leg part section (9), waist part section (10), and shoulder part section (11). When a player (7) turns his body to hit a golf ball (12) in front of him, the ideal degrees [(14), (15), and (16)] between the front line (13) and rays [(17), (18), and (19)] created by each body part section [(9), (10), and (11)] are 15 degree, 30 degree and 45 degree. The momentum power transferred to the golf ball from each body part section of an average adults male golfer are 2.5-horse power from the leg part section (9), 1.5-horse power from the waist part section (10), and 1.25-horse power (11) from the shoulder part section. As indicated the maximum power can be generated from the leg part section (9). The best way of transfer this power to the golf ball (12) is to stop the rotation of each part section at the front line (13).

The portable golf swing position training aid kit (1) of the current application stops the rotation of the leg part section (9) of the golf player (7) at the front line (13) to maximize the transfer of the power. At the same time the saddle shape leg supporter (5) meets the leg of the player (7) below the knee (6) to allow the rotation of the waist part section (10) even after the leg part section (9) is stopped and allow the shoulder part section (11) to watch the flying of the golf ball (12) hit.

Tee off with this portable kit increases the flying distance of the golf ball and repeated practice of golf swing with this portable kit adjusts the swing position of the golf player. Eventually, the player will enjoy long flying distance of his golf ball.

Claims
