Abstract:

A golf swing training club that trains a golfer to square more accurately the golf club face during the swing for improving the golfers swing and golf game. The golf swing training club generally comprises a shaft, a cylinder or clicker, and a roller ball to practice precise contact. The hinged club head is adapted to make a clicking noise when it breaks down to indicate an improper swing tempo. The roller ball spins when the club face is squared at the time of impact. Swing practice with the training club of the present invention trains a golfer to develop a slower, more fluid, motion swing to thus achieve and maintain a truer swing plane for consistently making contact with a golf ball when playing golf. The spinning roller ball also allows a golfer to practice keeping his head down and his eyes on the target point. The training club of the present invention can be used by both right handed and left handed golfers.
