Abstract: A golf training apparatus has a frame and a golf club swing guide is formed as a partial circle of high density polyethylene pipe and is attached to the frame for guiding a person's backswing of a golf club. The golf swing training apparatus guides only the golfers backswing but forces the forward swing of the golfer to hit the ball under the guide member. The golf club swing guide is adjusted by sliding as center swing guide support member relative to a pair of side swing guide support members. The golf club swing guide is attached to frame and guides a person's backswing, along a partial circular pipe member having two ends and having a flexible support member connected between the end portions which support member is positioned to align a golfer's shoulders with a target. A second center swing guide support is provided to support an attachment which forms the upper half of a full circle guide when attached to the partial circle guide.

Abstract: An athletic swing practice apparatus has a lower back support belt which has flexible thigh straps which strap to a person's thighs and a flexible waist belt which attaches around a person's waist and a pair of flexible buttock support straps attached between the thigh straps and the hip belt. A pair of straps are attached to the lower back support belt and extend from the rear portion thereof around the front and each strap has a plurality of apertures for attaching a resilient cord thereto. Each resilient cord extends to a stationary member which can be a pole anchored in the earth which pole can have a plurality of apertures for attaching the resilient cord. A person can practice an athletic swing, such as a golf swing, while wearing the lower back support belt and having the straps attached with resilient cord to the stationary members to thereby apply a predetermined pressure to the person's lower torso during a practice swing and enhance the swing posture of the user.
