Abstract: A slope estimator training apparatus has an apparatus body with a top surface having one or more sloped surfaces. A center segment extends across an apparatus periphery of the apparatus body and partitions the apparatus body into a first section and a second section. Each of the first and second section have a sloped surface. The slope estimator training apparatus further includes slope markings disposed on the top surface at each of the first section and the second section. The slope markings include a range of values having both a descending sequence and an ascending sequence. The descending sequence is disposed on the first section and the ascending sequence disposed on the second section. The slope estimator training apparatus allows a player to train their skill in estimating steepness of a slope with a feel of their feet instead of or in addition to making a visual assessment.

Abstract: An arm position monitor is provided having a magnetically attractive object, a magnet-coupler connector and a magnet. The magnetically attractive object is adapted to connect to an arm of a user and the magnet is adapted to connect to the same arm or to the other arm via the magnet-coupler connector. When positioned adjacent to one another during a golf swing, the magnet and magnetically attractive object attach to one another. However, if the user's arm substantially deviates from an optimal arm position during the swing, the user applies a detachment force greater than the magnetic attraction force that detaches the magnet from the magnetically attractive object. The arm position monitor alerts the user when this occurs.

Abstract: A golf training device is provided including a base plate having a putting channel. The device may also include a calibration plate having a calibration channel, a ball gate including first and second ball gate posts and/or a putter gate including first and second putter gate posts. The calibration plate is selectively attachable to the base plate with the calibration channel overlaying the putting channel. The ball gate has an adjustable ball gate width sufficient to allow a standard golf ball to pass therethrough and the putter gate has an adjustable putter gate width sufficient to allow a head of a putter to pass therethrough. The ball and putter gate widths are adjusted by rotating the first and/or second ball gate posts and the first and/or second putter gate posts, respectively.

Abstract: A sand trap simulation pad is provided having a fluffy structure on its top surface made up of soft loose-ended hair-like fibers and having a high-friction material on its bottom surface. The pad is configured for use as a golf swing training device to practice hitting a golf ball out of a sand trap. Repetitive use of the pad teaches a user the optimal golf swing for properly hitting a golf ball out of a sand trap.

Abstract: A device is provided that indicates to a user when the user has properly shifted a sufficient amount of his or her downward force to the trail foot and thereafter to the lead foot during the course of a golf swing, thereby effecting an optimal golf swing.

Abstract: A swing training assembly includes a shuttle, a shuttle travel track, a tensioner, a shuttle displacement line and a shuttle pulley. The shuttle resides in the shuttle travel track and the shuttle pulley and shuttle displacement line are adapted to linearly displace the shuttle to different shuttle positions within the shuttle travel track in response to displacement forces applied to the shuttle pulley by a user pulling on the shuttle displacement line. The tensioner provides an opposing counter-force to control the rate of shuttle displacement. The swing training assembly may also include body positioning limits to maintain proper body alignment while the user pulls on the shuttle displacement line.

Abstract: A force sensor is provided for mounting on an outside lateral surface of a golf club grip to alert a user when an excessive manual grasping force is applied to the grip during a golf swing.
