Abstract:
A training aid for aiding a swing of a person at striking a ball such as in golf. The training includes a first arm cuff and at least one leg cuff with an intermediate connector having at least one resilient member. In this way the at least one resilient member extends in use between a trailing upper arm or above elbow of the player and the player's front lower torso or leading leg which in use aids the user by ensuring the large muscle of the trailing upper arm UA in a cocked elbow formation starts the down swing and aids the correct sequence of movement.

Claim (Index 69):
A method of fitting a training aid for training of ball striking skill from a stationary stance position comprising the steps of:\n a. providing a training aid with two cuffs connected by an elongated member therebetween having a resilient element; b. connecting the first cuff of the training aid to the arm around or adjacent the large muscle above the vertex of the elbow; c. connecting the second cuff of the training aid to the leading leg of the of the person; d. having the connecting elongated member fitted between trailing back arm of the person and the trailing back arm of the person such that at fixed stationary position measure and adjust to freely extend from support leg to above elbow bend of trailing arm; e. adjusting the training aid to engage resilience when elbow bend passes upwardly from normal body hanging position to allow resilient extending of the stretchable band as the elbow bend passes to an upwardly from normal body backswing position; and f. selecting or adjusting the amount of resilience to match the physique and strength of the user wherein the at least one resilient member provides in use a resilience directly between the trailing upper arm of the player and the player's lower torso or legs to maintain a lag in the forearm and golf club as the arms come down by starting the arcuate down swing with the elbow to initiate the forward swing and the resilience on the user trailing upper arm from the forward leg of the user providing follow through of the trajectory by bringing the elbow near and across the player's body; g. wherein the connecting of the first cuff of the training aid to the arm around or adjacent the large muscle above the vertex of the elbow and connecting the second cuff of the training aid to the leading leg of the of the person so that the training aid is anchored between the two with a connecting elongated member therebetween and to provide resilience to above elbow bend of trailing arm allows\n g1. undertaking backswing with the training aid and engaging resilience when elbow bend passes upwardly from normal body hanging position to allow resilient extending of the stretchable band; \n g2. begin downswing with resilience leading the arm and particularly the large arm muscle above the elbow bend to lead the trajectory; and \n g3. follow through of the trajectory with resilience of first cuff on the user from the anchored second cuff on the forward leg of the user bringing elbow near the body; and \n g4. follow through trajectory to complete playing the shot.
