Golf swing training device

摘要

A golf swing training device for monitoring the amount of forward hip movement during a completed golf swing. The golf swing training device includes a hip pad support structure pivotally mounted to a stationary base. The stationary base includes a pair of foot guides which correctly position the golfer with respect to the swing training device. A hip pad is connected to a horizontal arm of the hip pad support structure and is positioned to engage the front hip of the golfer. The position of the hip pad can be adjusted in both the vertical and horizontal direction depending upon the physical characteristics of the golfer using the swing training device. During a completed golf swing, the golfer's front hip applies force to the hip pad if the golfer slides his or her hips forward during the swing, which results in the hip pad support structure rotating about its pivotal connection to the base. Preferably, a visual and/or an audio feedback device provides the golfer with an indication of the amount of forward hip movement present during the golf swing. By repeating his or her golf swing, the golfer can concentrate on reducing the amount of forward hip movement to create a more efficient and powerful golf swing.
