Definitions
- the present invention relates to a golf training and exercise apparatus which reinforces correct stance and swing movement.
- the present invention provides a golf training and exercise device capable of restricting a players body position and movement to follow a rotation plane variably adjustable in three axes, while exerting a lateral force against a player's upper body.
- United States patent 5,156,402 issued to Hart discloses a stand which holds a handle for any athletic swinging movement with a linkage mechanism which controls movement of the handle.
- the machine provides resistance in order to assist as a strengthening exercise.
- the swing is not specifically for golf, and the device does not control the position or movement of the player.
- United States patent 4,758,000 issued to Cox discloses a mechanical device which provides more restriction to body movement.
- the player is effectively immobilized in a mechanical device which provides three pivotal linkages, to the head, the shoulders and the arms.
- the device is unsatisfactory because it is not possible to make the range of motion necessary for an effective swing.
- the player's head is immobilized to rotation on a single axis, while the shoulders are allowed relatively free movement against a universal linkage without making any lateral movement. This produces a contorted position (seen in Figure 4) with the head down to the side and the shoulders fully raised.
- the arm swing is linked by cables to the shoulder brace to force the body to twist, giving primary control to the minor muscle movement. This does not effectively guide the large body movement and requires the body to compensate for flaws caused by the swing. Again, the player is supported and moved by the apparatus, hindering development of the movement independently.
- the present invention confines a player to movement about a specific axis.
- the depending arms establish a compact position forcing the complete upper body to pivot and make a lateral shift, not accomplished in the prior art.
- the present invention provides an exercise device for guiding pivotal and lateral movement of a player's upper body comprising: a yoke for receiving a player's shoulders having at least one depending arm at least partially surrounding a player's body for exerting a lateral force against a player's shoulders, a means for rotation defining a primary axis, and including means for setting a variable angular orientation of said primary axis relative to a horizontal axis; and a stand for supporting the yoke including means for adjustment to the height of said yoke.
- the yoke is supported by an axle for free rotation in a bearing on the stand including a pair of pivot pins for setting angular orientation of the primary axis relative to a horizontal and a vertical axis.
- the present invention provides an exercise device for guiding pivotal and lateral movement of a player's upper body comprising: a support standard; a positioning arm including means for variable height adjustment mounted to project from the standard; a rotational axle on the positioning arm defining a primary axis of rotation having adjustment means for positioning the axle relative to two additional axes; a yoke for receiving a player's shoulders rotatively secured by the axle to said positioning arm; and a pair of depending arms spaced apart on the yoke for confining a player against said yoke and for exerting a lateral force against a player's shoulders during rotation.
- the present invention provides an exercise device for guiding pivotal and lateral movement of a player's upper body comprising: a yoke for receiving a player's shoulders including means for rotation about a primary axis substantially parallel to a player's spine at a player's shoulders and means for setting the orientation of said primary axis in a three dimensional space in order to adjust the primary axis for different players and playing positions; at least one depending arm on the yoke for exerting a lateral force on a player's shoulders; and a stand for supporting the yoke.
- the motion created by the golf training and exercise device is compatible with the full variety of teaching methods or schools.
- the apparatus is ambidextrous, being able to accommodate left or right swing players.
- the present invention provides a repeatable movement, so that the student or professional can return to the same specific motion from one session to the next.
- the device can also be used to measure and extend movement flexibility. These exercise movements can also be beneficial to other athletic activity.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, illustrating straight arms positioned in the lowest angle position.
- Figure 2 is a front view of the embodiment of Figure 1, illustrating short arms.
- Figure 3 is a side view of the embodiment of Figure 1, illustrating angled arms positioned in a raised angle position.
- Figures 4-6 illustrate a sequence of a player using the apparatus of Figure 1.
- a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown generally at 10 in Figure 1.
- a base 12 having a sufficient dimension to provide a standing platform for the player, supports a vertical standard 14 and a back plate 16.
- a yoke 28, which guides the movement of the player's body, is rotatively mounted on a positioning arm 18 which extends from the standard. To develop a player's strength, it is important that the player moves freely within the machine, initiating all movement. Prior art designs support and move the player mechanically, inhibiting independent ability to recreate the motion.
- the positioning arm 18 extends from the standard 14 secured by a vertical adjustment mechanism (not shown) such as a rack and pinion, worm gear, gas cylinder, or any other suitable mechanism. Vertical adjustment of the positioning arm 18 using a worm gear is rotatively operated by a crank 24 to set the yoke 28 at an appropriate height.
- a calibrated guide is provided on the standard, so that a desired height may be easily reset.
- An angled head 20, seen most clearly in Figure 3, is mounted for pivotal movement at the distal end of the positioning arm 18 on pivot pin 22, which defines a substantially horizontal axis C (seen in Figure 2).
- An internal threaded shaft and threaded bushing (not shown) operated by crank 26 rotate the head 20 on the pivot pin 22 to set the head in a fixed position at a desired angle.
- the head 20 supports the yoke 28 for freely rotative movement on an axle 30, which defines a primary axis A (seen in Figure 3). The angle of the axle 30, and hence the primary axis A, and the plane of rotation of the yoke 28, is set by adjusting the angle of head 20.
- axle 30 may be positioned substantially horizontally through an angular range to substantially vertically.
- a preferred range is approximately 5° above horizontal to approximately 65° above horizontal.
- Axle 30 is secured to the head 20 on a plate 32 pivotally mounted on a pivot pin 33 defining an axis B substantially perpendicular to axle 30, as seen in Figure 3, providing three axes of rotation to the yoke 28.
- This axis B is subject to adjustment by the angular adjustment about pivot pin 22, but is referred to as a "vertical" axis, as it is when the axle 30 is in a horizontal position.
- the plate 32 may be rotated and latched in a set position for initial set of the apparatus. This is appropriate as a golfers shoulders are not generally in a square position holding a club. One hand is positioned above the other, and hence one shoulder is higher than the other. Once set, the plate 32 is latched against further rotation. Alternatively, for more complex movement the plate may be freely rotative on the pivot pin 33.
- the yoke 28 comprises a substantially horizontal bar rotatively supported at its centre point on axle 30 within bearings for resistance-free rotation. Alternatively, resistance may be provided at this point for more strength oriented exercise.
- the yoke 28 has a pair of depending arms 34 spaced apart at either end of the yoke 28 which confine the shoulders and urge lateral movement in the player's upper body during rotation.
- the spacing of the arms 34 is preferably adjustable, for instance employing sliding mounts 35 and thumb screws 37, to accommodate different sized players. Calibrations are provided on the yoke 28 so that a desired spacing may easily be reset.
- the sliding adjustment of the arms 34 also permits an initial set-up off centre, if desired for a particular teaching method or style. One of the arms 34 may be removed to focus attention on particular movement exercises.
- Handle grips 36 are provided at the ends of the depending arms 34 as a support to the player for balance. The handle grips 36 may be at different orientations to imitate hand positions during a swing.
- the arms 34 are shaped to accentuate different body movements, and to stretch or strengthen different muscle groups.
- the straight arms 34 illustrated in Figure 1, confine the player's body providing the most control over the player's movement. In particular, the straight arms 34 exert the most lateral force on the upper body.
- the lateral movement of the upper body orients the players body at an angle termed the V-angle considered necessary for proper address of the ball. This motion is extended and somewhat exaggerated in order to counter act a player's natural tendency to tilt toward the target.
- Shorter arms 34a as shown in Figure 2, are provided to free the players arms in order to hold and swing an actual club, without being restrained, while still exerting a lateral force.
- Wide arms 34b seen clearly in Figure 5, open the player's body position increasing flexibility in specific muscle groups, and are suited for use as a stretching exercise.
- two pairs of handle grips 36 are provided at angles to imitate hand grip positions for right or left handed players.
- a leg brace 40 is mounted for sliding adjustment in tracks 42 to set the horizontal position.
- Pedal 43 acts against the base 12 to prevent further lateral motion once in place.
- the leg brace 40 further includes telescopic adjustment using thumb screw 44 for height and a second thumb screw 46 for depth.
- a bracket 48 has a curved shape to impinge on a players leg to prevent bending to the side or moving back. The bracket 48 for engaging the player's leg can be removed and reversed for use on the inside or outside of either leg.
- a player stands on the base 12.
- the positioning arm 18 is raised to place the yoke 28 at the appropriate height.
- a club, and hence stance is selected: upright for driving with a longer club, stooped to swing a short putter.
- the angle of the spine changes.
- the angle of the head 20 is set using the crank 26 until the yoke 28 rests on the shoulders of the player. In this position the axle 30 is substantially parallel to the player's spine at the shoulder blades so that rotation of the yoke 28 closely matches the players range of pivotal movement.
- the player In the apparatus 10 the player is forced to stand in a posture placing the shoulders ahead of the hips and feet desired for a correct swing.
- the handle grips 36 help the player to adjust to the sensation of imbalance. Throughout the swing a correct body posture is maintained. This posture is difficult to teach, and the source of common problems among golfers.
- the player pivots the upper body to cause rotation of the yoke 28 while attempting to maintain contact with the yoke 28 indicating full motion of the upper body.
- a player practising the swing motion in the device is forced to isolate movement to pivoting the upper body reducing or eliminating errors which occur though making compensating motion.
- the depending arms 34 force the player's upper body into a compact position.
- the trailing arm 34 pushes against the arm and shoulder of the player forcing a more complete rotation and desired body posture. Because the player's centre of rotation is not at the same point as the axle 30, a lateral shift also occurs.
- the distance between the centre of the player's body, about which it pivots, and the axle 30 about which the yoke 28 rotates causes a lateral shift in the upper body of the player in order to follow the yoke 28.
- This shift angles the player's body in a desired position to correctly swing and address a golf ball.
- the lateral body shift may be eliminated by providing a second axle parallel to the primary axle 30, thus causing the yoke 28 to shift laterally while the player's body remains centred.
- the leg brace 40 can be used to correct unnecessary leg movement. It is designed to be placed to the inside or outside of the leg which bends incorrectly. A common error among golfers is to bend the outer leg, and to compensate by tilting the body into the ball. The leg brace 40 is then positioned on the outside of the outer leg to prevent the knee from buckling. Further the arms 34 will not permit the player's body to tilt toward the ball.
- the leg brace can also be used to correct another common error of bending the inner leg away from the ball resulting in reducing the body angle achieved in rotation. Placement of the leg brace 40 to the inside of the problem leg can prevent this from occurring, and serve to make the player aware of the tendency as it occurs.
- the apparatus 10 further provides a constant reference to which the player may return in order to repeat the same motion. This makes the device appropriate as a teaching device and also as an exercise device for regular use.
- the standard 14 which provides a fixed reference or support for the positioning arm 18 and yoke 28 may be replaced by a door or other permanent installation.
- the yoke 28 and leg brace 40 are portable without the heavy standard 14 and base 12.
