AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a golf swing training device that allows golfers to practice the correct swing of a golf club by using muscle memory. The device includes a shaft or post that is connected to a golf club and a bar that connects the post to a vehicle or existing structure. The device helps stabilize the golf club during the swinging motion and allows the golfer to repeat the correct swing multiple times. The aim is to improve the golfer's swing and build up muscle memory for the correct way to swing the golf club.

Problems solved by technology

However, most golfers cannot regularly control their natural draw or fade.

However, even accomplished golfers struggle to maintain control over their swing.

However, instructors are expensive and not generally available at convenient times or locations.

Moreover, once the lesson is over, many golfers resort back to their bad habits.

Many of these devices are expensive, complex to use and / or require a lot of room or equipment in order to diagnose and correct the golfer's swing.

Further, many devices are limited in the particular component of the golfer's swing that they can correct.

However, the device needs the assistance of a tripod extension, among other devices, to hold the trainer in place and depending on the strength of the swing, the device will move or be pushed from its location, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the device.

Unfortunately, a lot of room is needed to accommodate the mat and flexible panel, either as a stand-alone device or as attached to a wall, and the device cannot be easily moved to another location.
