  • Patent number: 9233290
    Abstract: A golf swing and putting stroke training device is provided that comprises a forearm connection strap, a pivoting member, and a connection means adapted to secure to a golfing glove closure strap. The device firmly secures to the forearm of the forward arm of a golfer, wherefrom a first member is supported therefrom extending toward the user's wrist. A second member is pivotably attached to the distal end of the first member and connects to the user's golfing glove along the top of the user's upper hand. The pivot joint therebetween allows for rotation of the second member in single plane and thus limits the user's wrist to single degree of freedom. Wrist movement is limited during a full swing to radial and ulnar deviation only, while the device is adapted to remain attached while putting to prevent wrist flexion or extension (e.g. wrist “breaking”) during a putting stroke.
