SPORT SWING TRAINING DEVICE AND METHODS THEREFOR

摘要

A sport swing training device including a resistance mechanism and first and second leg receivers adapted to confront a user's inner legs. The resistance mechanism is movable between an expanded state and a compressed state. The resistance mechanism is operative to resist movement from the expanded state to the compressed state. The first and second leg receivers are disposed on opposite ends of the resistance mechanism. Preferably, the leg receivers have an arcuate configuration and include at least one strap for securing the resistance mechanism to the user's legs. Preferably, the training device also includes a feedback indicator operative to indicate when the resistance mechanism has been moved to the compressed state, which in practice corresponds to the point at which the user strikes a projectile. In an exemplary embodiment, the feedback indicator comprises an audible device, such as a whistle, operated by pneumatic pressure created within the dashpot.
