Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for improving consistency of a golfer's swing by affording visual feedback of head displacement and resultant body orientation. The training apparatus includes a scale member having calibrated indicia disposed thereon and a support structure including a base portion and cantilever member adapted to position the scale at a predetermined relative location along the golfer's line-of-sight when the golfer is in an initial address position. Head displacement during the backswing is visually apparent to the golfer as a shift in the position of the object ball from the address position. By controlling the amount of shift and ensuring the ball has visually returned to a desired point at or near the address position at the moment of impact, the golfer may be assured of proper body orientation and weight distribution at impact resulting in improved swing consistency.
