Abstract: A golf swing training device comprises a free-spinning wheel or roller assembly mounted permanently or secured detachably to a golf club of virtually any design, which accelerates learning by conceptually substituting a simple, cohesive, and intuitive action for the complex and seemingly disjointed motions of the golf swing. The position and alignment of the wheel assembly provides inherent and easily discernible visual references with respect to the desired aim and lie angle of the golf club. The user, after adopting an orthodox setup, will be encouraged to roll the wheel back with both arms, and then vigorously and forcibly bring the club and wheel assembly forward toward the intended target to induce momentary, tangential contact with the surface of the ground, causing the wheel to rotate freely—a direct indication of the quality, timing, and speed of the release of the hands.
