Abstract: An apparatus for improving a golf swing that comprises a telescopic arm link shaft connected between a golfer's upper arm and the grip of a golf club held in the golfer's hands. The arcuate grip attachment member of the apparatus is easily held against the golf club grip by the golfer's hands. The shaft-to-grip connection pivots, while the shaft-to-arm-attachment-member connection provides swiveling movement. The arm attachment member can also be adjusted around the golfer's upper arm to provide a comfortable but non-slip connection. A stop on telescopic arm link shaft further allows the golfer to adjust the maximum amount of angle change desired during a golf swing. Thus, angle and rotational changes for the golfer's lower arm are permitted, while absolute alignment of the golfer's upper and lower arms to the golf club is maintained throughout the golf swing. Applications can include any sports implement used with a swinging motion.

Abstract: A golf club training device and method utilizes a substantially rigid, sleeve-type member that is positioned over a forefinger of a lower hand of a golfer. The sleeve-type member is positioned over a central portion of the forefinger, extends above and below the forefinger, and is open at both ends. The member restricts bending of the forefinger, so as to maintain an upper anterior portion of the forefinger away from a golf club handle during swinging. In one embodiment, the member is open along a portion of the posterior length thereof. In one embodiment, a thumb pad may also be provided, which is adapted to be positioned on the thumb of the lower hand and to be placed substantially squarely on the golf club handle, improving a user's golf swing.

Abstract: A golf training aid is adapted to be worn by a golfer. When worn, the golf training aid includes a forearm support secured to the leading forearm of the golfer. Rotatively mounted to the forearm support is an arm that extends past the hands of the golfer.
