Claim:
1. An apparatus for applying resistance to shoulder and hip rotation of a trainee, said apparatus comprising: a pair of opposing modules positioned to define a training area on a training surface, one of said modules comprising: a rigid member extending upward from the training surface; a first pulley assembly and a second pulley assembly carried by said rigid member; a first resistance member secured at one end and directed through said first pulley assembly to a first training vector origination device directing a free end of the first resistance member toward the training area, said first resistance member being adapted to provide a training vector opposing rotation of a backside shoulder of a trainee performing a golf or baseball swing; a second resistance member secured at one end and directed through said second pulley assembly to a second training vector origination device directing a free end of the second resistance member toward the training area, said second resistance member being adapted to provide a training vector opposing rotation of a backside hip of a trainee performing a golf or baseball swing; and the other of said modules comprising: a rigid member extending upward from the training surface; a first pulley assembly and a second pulley assembly carried by said rigid member; a first resistance member secured at one end and directed through said first pulley assembly to a first training vector origination device directing a free end of the first resistance member toward the training area, said first resistance member being adapted to provide a training vector opposing rotation of a frontside shoulder of a trainee performing a golf or baseball swing; a second resistance member secured at one end and directed through said second pulley assembly to a second training vector origination device directing a free end of the second resistance member toward the training area, said second resistance member being adapted to provide a training vector opposing rotation of a frontside hip of a trainee performing a golf or baseball swing.
