Abstract: A training device for encouraging proper body characteristics during the striking of a ball, such as a baseball or a golf ball. In particular, the training device encourages immobility of the head during ball striking and swinging, and also aids in attaining proper head alignment to the ball. A frame mounted upon a cap visor includes spaced ends, and reference elements formed of a thin material are mounted upon the frame ends and define closed loops. The reference elements are located within the wearer's line of sight while viewing the ball to be struck, and the proximity of the reference elements to the wearer's eyes cause the closed loops to appear to define an enclosed alignment target in which the ball may be located during striking. The particular configuration of the alignment target is determined by the configuration of the reference elements' loops.

Abstract: A golf instructional aid mounted upon the golfer's head to teach and encourage head immobility during swinging of the golf club and to aid in alignment of the club swing and movement with respect to the desired direction of ball travel. A cap mounted support includes a ball and socket mount and a pair of parallel spaced reference elements which each include a reference mark permitting a golf ball to be visually "bracketed" between the reference elements wherein head movement is readily detected and the position of the head with respect to the ball is visibly discernible.
