Abstract:
A golf swing exerciser comprising:a) a resistance cord attached to a golf handle so that a golfer can move the handle through a curve of a simulated golf swing against resistance applied to the handle via the cord; b) the cord extending over a pulley arranged on a moveable trolley that is biased upward; c) the cord extending from the pulley to a fixed region below a predetermined range of travel of the trolley; d) the pulley, cord, and trolley being arranged relative to the curve followed by the handle during the simulated golf swing so that the handle moves away from the trolley as the simulated golf swing proceeds, causing the handle to pull the cord over the trolley pulley as the swing proceeds; e) movement of the cord over the pulley during the simulated golf swing being arranged to force the trolley downward against the bias to resist movement of the cord and of the handle for exercise purposes; and f) the trolley being arranged to move along a track positioned relative to the curve of the golf swing so that the curve moves farther away from the trolley and the track as the swing proceeds toward a hitting region, and this increases movement of the trolley and increases cord resistance as the swing approaches the hitting region.
