Abstract: A “Swing Trainer” provides a transverse slide mechanism that generates an audible and/or haptic click in response to a smoothness of a swing of a sports-related implement. In other words, the Swing Trainer clicks in a way that a user can either or both hear and/or feel during a swing of the sports-related implement. Such sports-related implements include, but are not limited to, golf clubs, tennis racquets, hockey sticks, baseball bats, lacrosse sticks, cricket bats, or any other sports-related implement wherein smoothness of a user swing is desirable. The Swing Trainer rotatably couples a proximal end to a distal end of the sports-related implement. Further, the Swing Trainer generates the audible and/or haptic click when a sliding force imparted to the Swing Trainer by the swing exceeds a static holding force of the transverse slide mechanism. Typically, the sliding force exceeds the static holding force during an improper user swing.
