Abstract:
An apparatus for a golf swing training device, comprising:a) a golf club having a shaft; b) a housing for containing parts of the apparatus, said housing having a first and a second end; c) means for removably fixedly attaching said housing to said golf club, said housing being stationary with respect to said shaft once said training device is installed for use; d) means comprising a visual indicator mounted on said first end of said housing; e) a rotational dial member having a visual graduated scale in degrees mounted on said second end of said housing; f) means for sensing the angular relationship of said golf club with the ground, said means for sensing mounted internal said housing; g) means for connecting said means for sensing to said rotational dial member whereby the means for sensing is adjustable, an outside wall of said housing having a pointer aligned with said scale so that rotation of said dial member permits said indicator to select an angle on said dial member representing the angular relationship of said golf club with the ground; h) a source of power for said visual indicator, said source of power having a control switch; i) means for electrically connecting said visual indicator, said source of power, and said means for sensing, whereby the angular adjustment of said dial member selects the intended angular relationship of said golf club to the ground and the user can relate his swing to the ground as shown by the visual indicator; and j) said means for connecting said means for sensing to said rotational dial member further comprising a pair of discs mounted internal of said housing, said pair of discs being spaced apart and joined together by multiple stand-off members, said pair of discs and said multiple stand-offs forming a means for supporting said means for sensing whereby said means for sensing ate secured to said means for supporting said means for sensing.
