Yet Another Swing Training Device Invention… An Armband, Bungee Cord, and Hosel Clamp
As with most swing training devices, I have no idea whether this swing training device would be helpful or hurtful. My skeptical nature tends to make me doubt the credibility of the device, but if there was ever a swing that could use some help… it is mine.
The invention is disclosed in a patent application that recently published as US Pub. No. 20070191129 titled “Golf Swing Training Aid.” The application describes the invention as:
A golf swing training aid includes an armband coupled to a resilient member, the resilient member having at an opposite terminal end an anchor for anchoring the resilient member to at least one of a hossle and a shaft of a golf club, the resilient member providing feedback during a backswing through the armband. A method for using the training aid is provided.

Interesting invention.
