Abstract:

A golf training device for a golf player including a hip belt having opposite belt ends, belt closing elements on the belt for holding the belt ends in joined position on the player, an elastic cord having an upper end and a lower end, an elastic cord attachment point on the belt disposed substantially opposite the joined position, and a stirrup attached to the lower end of the elastic cord for receiving a foot of the golf player. The length of the elastic cord is such that the stretched cord extends from the stirrup receiving the player's foot laterally and upwardly over the front and to the rear of the player to its attachment point on the belt thereby creating a rotational torque at the hips of the player which assists the player in maintaining a proper body stance throughout the swing with a club and properly turning the hips as required for a proper swing.
