  • Patent number: 5288073
    Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a device to assist in the teaching of a golfer's swing and includes a rigid rod having one end mounted to a vertical surface attachment and an opposite end on which slides, through an appropriate connecting member, the shaft of a golf club or simulated club. The connection between rod and shaft allows a pivotal movement therebetween while that part of the connecting member in which is mounted the rod, allows it to freely slide longitudinally thus allowing an instructor or the golfer himself or herself to have an indication, as a result of the location of the connecting member on the rod, whether the golf swing is proper or improper for a given golfer.
