Abstract:
1. A swing training method comprising: providing a shaft having a first sliding element releasably coupled to a first position along the shaft for movement along the shaft to a first stop carried thereby, and further having a second sliding element releasably coupled to a second position on the shaft for movement along the shaft to a second stop carried thereby; modifying a coupling force for the first and second sliding elements to the first and second positions, respectively, for requiring a preset centrifugal force to affect the releasing thereof; holding the shaft from a proximal end thereof by a user; swinging the shaft in a first swinging movement for generating a first centrifugal force to release the first sliding element from the first position, wherein the first sliding element travels along the shaft toward a distal end thereof to the first stop, making a first distinctive sound upon contacting the first stop; swinging the shaft in transition from the first swinging movement to a second swinging movement; and continuing the shaft swinging in the second swinging movement for generating a second centrifugal force to release the second sliding element from the second position, wherein the second sliding element travels along the shaft to the second stop, making a second distinctive sound upon contacting the second stop.
