Abstract: A golf swing training device including a belt configured to be worn by a user, a clip member configured to attach to a golf club shaft and a resilient band configured to fixedly attach at one end to the clip member and movably attach at a second end to the belt. Resilient bands having different resistances and lengths may be interchanged to accommodate different types of golf shots, swings and clubs. The device may also be used with a baseball or softball bat.

Abstract: An apparatus configured to be held between a user's forearms during a golf swing. The apparatus can be a spherical, inflated ball. The apparatus may be further secured using a lanyard or similar article worn around the golfer's neck. In practice, by maintaining the inflated ball positioned between the forearms during the golf swing, the golfer is maintaining his or her arms in the proper position. If the inflated ball falls or fails to remain held in place between the forearms, the golf swing is poor (i.e., the arms have separated too much). Other spherical members can be used as well.

Abstract: A training golf club includes a shaft having a gripping end and an opposite end coupled with a club head. A club head face includes a planar striking face that is spaced from a club head sole. A lower face of the club head extends between a lower edge of the striking face to the sole of the club head, downwardly and rearwardly from the plane of the striking face. Striking a ball below a mid-plane of the ball with the striking face produces a desirable shot, whereas striking the ball above the mid-plane produces an undesirable shot. Repeated use of the club teaches a user to consistently swing a club with a forward shaft lean for optimal impact with a ball.

Abstract: An adjustable arching arm attaches to a top portion of a golf club such that the adjustable arching arm is generally in alignment with a club face. The adjustable arching arm is adjustable in a generally vertical plane to accommodate chip shots and full swings. In a chipping mode, the adjustable arching arm is in a lower position and is intended to maintain contact with an inside of the left forearm (of a right handed golfer) through a chip shot thereby training the golfer to hold his (or her) hands in the correct position through a chip shot. In a full swing mode, the adjustable arching arm is adjusted to an upper position such that the adjustable arching arm is able to move from inside of the left forearm to outside of the left forearm during the swing to indicate good hand position.
