Abstract:
A golf swing instructional device comprising a frame member which includes at least three points of constraint for minimizing lateral movement of a golfer's lower body within preselected limits during a golf swing when said golfer is located within said frame member and as said golfer progresses through said golf swing, said points of constraint including:a) a rear point of constraint; b) a lower point of constraint; and c) a forward lateral point of constraint; said points of constraint being so located each with respect to the other such that when said golfer assumes a proper posture to initiate a golf swing the said golfer's buttocks is located proximal said rear point of constraint and simultaneously therewith said lower point of constraint is located proximal a rear area of said golfer's rearward leg at a point located between his knee and upper calf and said forward lateral point of constraint is spaced a preselected lateral distance at a point located in a horizontal plane with said golfer's upper forward leg, such that a properly executed golf swing by said golfer so positioned will cause no portion of said golfer's upper forward leg between said golfer's forward hip and forward knee to contact said forward lateral point of constraint.
