Abstract:
A swing training device comprising:a base having a base surface;a securing member positioned above the base, said securing member substantially lying within a plane parallel to the base surface;a suspension system positioned between the base and the securing member, the suspension system including a plurality of elastic segment lengths, at least a first and second segment lengths each having an end secured to one of the securing member and the base, the first and second segment lengths extending from the respective ends toward a reference point defined by an intersection of an imaginary projection of a first axis of the first segment length and a second axis of the second segment length, a third segment length having an end secured to another of the first securing member and the base, the first, second and third segment lengths each substantially lying within a plane that is perpendicular to the base surface at a static position;a ball supported by the suspension system between the base and the securing member; andthe reference point being spaced substantially equidistantly from each end of the first and second segment lengths, a distance between a surface of the ball and the reference point being less than a distance between the reference point and the base surface.
