  • Patent number: 4752070
    Abstract: A racket sport teaching aid device comprises a frame that includes a pointing member. Unexpectedly good results are achieved when a weight is attached to the lower end of the frame. The weighted frame physically maintains the face of the racket perpendicular to the plane of the ground at both the back swing and at the ball impact point. The weighted frame serves the triple functions of stabilizing the head of the racket at the time of impacting the ball, of maintaining the head of the racket at a proper angle with respect to the ground, and of providing a directional guide to be visually observed by the player. This helps the player both to remember to maintain the racket head at impact at a proper angle with respect to the ground and actually physically assists the player in performing this task. The device also assists the player in following through on the stroke such that the follow-through is up and in the direction of the intended shot.
