  • Patent number: 5997408
    Abstract: A golf training aid for establishing an idealized golf club position and swing path for short golf swings is attachable to a golf club adjacent the club grip. The training aid has a shaped, elongate shaft with one end coupled to the club and an opposite end adapted for positioning through an armpit of a user. A flexible connector couples an upper end of the shaft to its lower end to allow flexing of the shaft as the club is gripped. A sliding tubular member positioned on the upper end of the shaft is placed under the arm of the user to allow the distance between the user's hands and shoulder to vary during the golf swing while maintaining correct alignment of the club.
