Abstract:
1. An aide for assisting a golfer in swinging a golf club with a preferred and consistent tempo, comprising: a programmable physical vibration generating means for generating low level physical vibration patterns having user independently adjustable time duration components corresponding to (i) a time duration for a back swing of a golf club followed by a vibration pause of a time duration corresponding to a pause at the top of the back swing of the golf club and (ii) a time duration for a down swing of the golf club; first user operable switch means in circuit with the physical vibration generating means for independently and selectively increasing or decreasing the time duration of the component of the vibration pattern generated by the physical vibration generating means corresponding to the back swing of the golf club; second user operable switch means in circuit with the physical vibration generating means for independently and selectively increasing or decreasing the time duration of the component of the vibration pattern generated by the physical vibration generating means corresponding to the down swing of the golf club; and housing means for supporting the physical vibration generating means and for transmitting the physical vibration patterns to the golfer for sensing by a golfer as a preferred swing tempo for the golf club.
