Abstract: A golf training device for aiding in golf swing training and golf warm-up activities. The golf training device includes a golf club-like shaft, an at least one weighted member, and a stopper. The at least one weighted member is adapted to removably mount onto the shaft, and is defined by two temporary lockable interdigitating members and a locking member. The stopper, which attaches to the bottom end of the shaft, further aids in preventing the at least one weighted member from inadvertent disengagement from the shaft.

Abstract: A tennis training device for aiding in tennis-swing training and warm-up exercises includes a tennis racket or like-shaped frame having handle and head portions spaced apart along a central axis, a central opening disposed between the frame portions, an axial shaft the opposite ends of which are removably mounted to the head and handle of the frame, and at least one weight member removably, slidably, securedly, mounted to the shaft at a preselected location in the central opening whereby to enable the player to adjust the center of gravity and weight balance of the frame. In a preferred embodiment, two temporary lockable interdigitating members and a locking member that engages the shaft to position the weight member at the preselected location define the weight member.
