Abstract:
1. A golf swing exerciser using a hollow tube having an anchorage in a handle end for an extendable elastomeric element connected to a weight arranged so that the weight can move toward a distal end of the tube in response to centrifugal force, and the elastomeric element can move the weight toward the handle end of the tube when the weight is not subjected to the centrifugal force, the golf swing exerciser comprising: the hollow tube being independent of a golf club and not attached to a golf club; the tube being sized to be swung in an arc simulating a swing of a golf club; a shock absorber arranged within the tube at a distal end of the tube, the shock absorber including a deformable elastomer; the weight and the shock absorber being disposed within the tube so that when the tube is swung at a sufficient velocity so that the weight extends the elastomeric element to move the weight to impact the shock absorber at a distal end of travel of the weight; and the weight deforms the elastomer as the shock absorber brings distal movement of the weight to a stop.
