| 20080242436 | Move Power System For Golf - While there are many golf training solutions on the market there are no solutions that address training Exercises for the Hitting Zone and all of the associated neuro-muscular systems. With The Move Power System for Golf a weighted club is used with directional mountings mounted at a 90 degree with resistance from behind forcing the squaring up of the club face. Since all golfers are different multiple bands and resistance are offered. The Y Band Technology is a pulley system that allows for the variable resistance associated with the various exercises. By not using a traditional golf head and using directional mountings, we are no longer considering weather a club face is open but are we on the right golf plane | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080248891 | GOLF TRAINING AID - A golf driving and putting training aid comprises a driving module, a short-putt module, a long-putt module, and a third putting module. The driving module includes a shaft of telescoping cylinders pivotally secured at one end to a supporting surface and provided with a driving handle at the other end. The rate of retraction and extension of all cylinders is controlled by felt strips restricting the flow of air between the cylinders. The direction of the swing is controlled by pivoting joints by which the cylinders are connected to the supporting surface and to the handle. In one embodiment, the cylinders are pivotally attached to a slidable sleeve that glides along a horizontal bar. The movement of the sleeve can be restricted along the horizontal bar. The short-putt module includes a telescoping cylindrical shaft that is attached to the user's putter. When used, the short-putt module forces the user to keep the short-putt stroke straight. The long-putt module includes an arcuate guide to which a putter may be attached, thereby requiring the user to use the proper arcuate stroke for a long putt. Another putting module includes use of a mounting assembly that connects a putter to a horizontal bar. This embodiment allows movement of the putter along a generally defined arc that allows a slight transverse or perpendicular movement of the putter during the stroke. | 10-09-2008 |

The long-putt module includes an arcuate guide to which a putter may be attached, thereby requiring the user to use an arcuate stroke for a long putt. The third putting module includes use of a mounting assembly that connects a putter to a horizontal bar. This embodiment allows movement of the putter along a generally defined arc that allows a slight transverse or perpendicular movement of the putter during the stroke. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100151958 | GOLF SWING TRAINING DEVICE - In general, this disclosure relates to a golf swing training device, comprises three interoperating portions, the first portion of the device being an active area, the second being a collapsible frame, and the third being a golf club-like device and carriage. The collapsible base frame allows the active area to be repositioned from a fully upright orientation, to a partially lowered orientation, and continue to a significantly lowered orientation, to a fully lowered (collapsed) orientation. In the fully lowered orientation, the device has a much smaller profile and can therefore be more easily transported and stored. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110009204 | Golf swing training device - The golf swing training device interactively and passively guides a golf club throughout a training swing by a user from a golfer's stance up to an end of a backswing, and through a forward swing up to a ball impact zone, and that allows a user to hit a ball without any hindrance from the guiding components by naturally swinging follow-though. The guiding components are a guiding-arm, a short lead thereof connected to the distal end of a golf club tows interactively the club shaft up to the end of the backswing, and a resistance-arm, a finger thereof resists passively to the golf club movements throughout the backswing. A speed of rotation of the guiding-arm controlled by a computer system defines a pace of golf club movements, correspondingly a rhythm of the backswing, while a speed of rotation of said resistance-arm defines positioning of the club shaft and, correspondingly, the user's wrists positions relative to the user's forearms at each interactive moment of the backswing. Both the arms are rotatable around an axis set perpendicularly to a swing plane of the club head, at a user's hips height in a housing in which a driving unit is mounted to provide rotation of both the arms. During a forward swing the resistance-arm is working as an interactive guiding component for interactive guiding the golf club when a resistance-arm finger pushing interactively against a golf club shaft at a point near to a club grip and the guiding-arm, in its turn, resisting passively to the golf club movements by the lead, which will be released from the guiding-arm by means of an trigger mechanism at a defined point of the swing controlled by the computer system while the resistance-arm finger continues to push on the club shaft through a hitting portion of the swing, thereby enabling the user to accelerate the swing motion and hit a ball without any hindrance from the guiding components by naturally swinging follow-though. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110177875 | Indoor and Outdoor Golf Swing Training Apparatus - A golf training apparatus that is capable of operation both indoors and outdoors is described. The apparatus includes a plurality of anchor points, through which there are placed a plurality of anchors, typically comprising golf tees, for anchoring the apparatus outdoors. The apparatus further includes a cleated surface configured to adhere to a carpeted surface for anchoring the apparatus indoors. The apparatus further comprises a guide line retractably coupled to a tensile mechanism, whereby a golf player may, after coupling a golf club or putter to the guide line of the apparatus, determine based upon the motion of the guide line, whether the player's stroke is accurate or requires correction. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110250982 | Near zero inertia pendulum golf swing trainer Swinky.TM. - Swinky™ is a pendulum golf swing trainer. It weighs about six pounds, folds up like an umbrella, and can be unfolded and set up without tools in a moment. It comprises a long, stiff, ultra-light pendulum arm that hangs atop a mast, planted on a sure-footed tripod opposite the golfer's chin. The golfer's club makes up at least 98% of the weight of the pendulum bob. The other vital 2% of the bob's weight is provided by the device's low-inertia, visually graphic rectangular string bridge, one end of which is anchored on the neck of the club shaft and the other on the tip of the pendulum arm. The club swings accompanied by the bridge quite unaffected by its presence as long as the club's center of mass tracks parallel to and centered with the sweep of the pendulum arm. Exploiting rectangle feedback is simple. Preset the mast angle to match the lie angle of the club shaft and the top of the mast to the height of the golfer's own chin at address. Start and complete swings with the bridge just sufficiently tensioned to form the rectangle. Proper swings are confirmed by steadiness of the mast and tripod throughout the swing, along with air speed whistling that peaks at the bottom of the swing. A faulty swing at any point instantly deforms the rectangle and rocks the mast and tripod. | 10-13-2011 |
