Abstract

A swing training device includes an axial hole and a gap communicated with the axial hole. A diameter of the axial hole is greater than or equal to a diameter of the neck of the head of the golf club. A width of the gap is greater than a diameter of the shaft of the club at a portion adjacent to the head, and the diameter of the neck is greater than the width of the gap. To mount the device of the present invention on a golf club, the device is fitted to the shaft via the gap, and then is moved downwards to be engaged with the neck of the head firmly.

Claims (15)

1. A swing training device, which is mounted on a golf club with a shaft connected to a neck of a head, comprising

an axial hole and a gap communicated with the axial hole, such that the swing training device has a substantially C-shaped aspect in a cross section,

wherein an orientation of the axial hole is tilted relative to that of the gap,

wherein a diameter of the axial hole is greater than or equal to a diameter of the neck of the head of the golf club,

a width of the gap is greater than a diameter of the shaft of the club at a portion adjacent to the head, and

the diameter of the neck is greater than the width of the gap.

2. The swing training device as defined in claim 1 , wherein the device is made of metal.

3. The swing training device as defined in claim 1 , further comprising an elastic member provided on a sidewall of the axial hole.
