Abstract:
1. A golf swing training device comprising: an elongated shaft having first and second ends, the first end defining a handle for grasping by a first hand of a user; a fixed grip disposed at the handle and having contoured surfaces conforming to the thumb and/or one or more fingers of the first hand of the user; and a slidable grip for grasping by a second hand of the user, the slidable grip freely slidable longitudinally with respect to the shaft and constructed so that, when gripped by the second hand of the user during a full backswing the shaft passes across the fingers of the user's second hand, whereby the hands of the user, when grasping the handle and slidable grip, can separate progressively during a backswing and then progressively return back into proximity during a downswing and followthrough of a training swing using body motions similar to a golf swing and wherein the slidable grip includes contoured surfaces conforming to the thumb and/or one or more fingers of the second hand of the user.
