  • Patent number: 6514150
    Abstract: A golf swing elbow angle control device for various types of golf shots, e.g. ninety degrees for long wood drives, and lesser angles for iron drives and chip shots. The device is readily adjustable, providing easy and rapid changes in its elbow angle control function, and customized fiducial settings of the device for various types of shots are readily established for the players having different forearm and elbow sizes and shapes. The device also functions as a convenient anchor for an elastic belt extending around the opposite upper arm of the player, keeping the arms together to provide a simple and easy way to prevent the player's elbows from extending away from the body, which is detrimental to good golf swing form.
