  • Patent number: 5209481
    Abstract: A golf swing muscle strengthener and swing developer device having a suitable structural member attached to a golf handle. The member may be curved or made up of L shaped members that are clamped to the handle. If L shaped members are used, they are slidably connected to each other. Weights suspend from the member so that they are directly below the golfer's grip. If a curved member is used, a means for adjusting weights is provided so as to locate the weights properly. At least one weight is suspended from the member by a single member or a member made up of the two parts: two members that permit one to telescopically side into the other. There is no restraint of the weights at their upper end so that when they move a sound is heard and vibration is observable; however, as the user becomes acquainted with the feel of a correct swing, an upper restraint may be added. If the noise or vibration are not easily observable, a light or sound generating device or a combination of both may be provided.
