Method for improving "Striking" motion and device for teaching method

摘要

Apparatus of preferred embodiments of my invention is a training device aimed at developing correct and efficient movement of the body during striking or throwing action. It could be applied to any activity in which striking or throwing motion is required—tennis, golf, baseball, boxing etc.;The training device of my invention is designed to compel the user to perform and repeat the correct lower body movement in isolation. The movement produced during this exercise is the cornerstone of all efficient throwing or striking actions. Sufficiently strengthened and correctly applied, this movement provides all the necessary force to propel the throwing arm or striking implements such as a tennis racquet, a golf club or a baseball bat.;The method of my invention is directed to objectives similar to those of the apparatus, but the apparatus and method are mutually independent.
