Abstract:
A method for training an individual to develop effective swing mechanics for a golf swing, the method being practiced with a training device having an elongated shaft with first and second ends, a handle at the first end for grasping by a first hand of the user, and a slidable grip slidable longitudinally along the shaft for grasping by a second hand of the user, the method comprising the steps:(a) grasping the handle with the first hand; (b) grasping the slidable grip with the second hand; (c) bringing the hands into close proximity; (d) assuming an address position; (e) taking the training device through the motion of a backswing while progressively sliding the slidable grip down the shaft; (f) taking the training device through the motion of a downswing while progressively sliding the slidable grip up the shaft to bring the hands back into close proximity at an impact position in the swing; and (g) taking the training device through the motion of a followthrough.
