Abstract: A new and improved golf club training apparatus includes a head assembly which includes a planar, ball-hitting surface. The planar, ball-hitting surface lies in a first plane. A shaft assembly is connected to the head assembly. The head assembly and the shaft assembly are oriented with respect to each other along a first longitudinal axis, and a first handle grip assembly is connected to the shaft assembly. The first handle grip assembly includes a first handle portion connected to the shaft assembly along the first longitudinal axis. The first handle grip assembly also includes a second handle portion connected to the first handle portion at a acute angle of approximately thirty degrees with respect to the first longitudinal axis passing through the first handle portion. The first handle portion and the second handle portion lie in a common second plane.
