Wrist training device for a golf swing and putting stroke
View Patent ↗A golf swing and putting stroke training device is provided that comprises a forearm connection strap, a pivoting member, and a connection means adapted to secure to a golfing glove closure strap. The device firmly secures to the forearm of the forward arm of a golfer, wherefrom a first member is supported therefrom extending toward the user's wrist. A second member is pivotably attached to the distal end of the first member and connects to the user's golfing glove along the top of the user's upper hand. The pivot joint therebetween allows for rotation of the second member in single plane and thus limits the user's wrist to single degree of freedom. Wrist movement is limited during a full swing to radial and ulnar deviation only, while the device is adapted to remain attached while putting to prevent wrist flexion or extension (e.g. wrist “breaking”) during a putting stroke.
1. A golf training device, comprising:
a forearm strap adapted to form a closed loop around the forearm of a user;
a first member extending from said forearm strap and substantially along the forearm of the user;
a second member pivotably connected to said first member by a pin joint, wherein said second member can freely rotate substantially in-plane about said pin joint;
said second member having an upper surface and a lower surface;
the second member being removably attachable to a golf glove, whereby said second member is adapted to be positioned between a golf glove strap of the golf glove, and the back of the golf glove;
said upper surface and said lower surface of said second member each having glove strap attachment device adapted to correspond with and removably affixed to said glove strap and said back of said golf glove;
wherein the glove strap attachment device along the lower surface removably secures the second member to the back of the golf glove, and the glove strap attachment device along the upper surface secures the second member to the golf glove strap, when the second member is positioned between the golf glove strap and the back of the golf glove.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein said forearm strap further comprises:
a first and second strap end;
said first strap end comprising a strap loop connector that accepts through said second strap end;
said second strap end further comprising a strap attachment means adapted to secure to corresponding attachment means along the length of said strap after being passed through said strap loop connector and doubled back onto itself.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein said forearm strap further comprises:
a first and second strap end;
said second strap end further comprising a strap attachment means adapted to secure to corresponding attachment means along the length of said strap.
4. The device of claim 1 , wherein said first and second member are operably separable at said pin joint.
5. The device of claim 1 , wherein said first member is operably separable from said forearm strap.
