Golf Training Mechanism And Method

Abstract

Teaching a golfer a golf movement by applying a force to the muscles of the student while the student is performing the golf movement. The force being applied is either assistive or resistive in order to teach and train the student's muscles. Mechanisms for applying these forces are attachable to the body and typically extend from a portion of the body to a stationary object.

1 . A method of teaching a golf movement, comprising: 
 instructing a student to perform a golf movement;    applying a force to the student during the swing, said force having an effect on at least one muscle of said student that is beneficial to performing said golf movement.    
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein applying a force to the student during the swing comprises applying an assistive force to the student during the swing, said assistive force having a teaching effect on at least one muscle of said student that is beneficial to performing said golf movement.  
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein applying a force to the student during the swing comprises applying an resistive force to the student during the swing, said resistive force having a training effect on at least one muscle of said student that is beneficial to performing said golf movement.  
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein applying a force to the student during the swing comprises attaching a device to said student prior to the step of instructing the student to perform a golf movement, said device capable of storing and releasing energy, such that said device changes an energy state during the swing.  
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 4  wherein attaching a device to said student prior to the step of instructing the student to perform a golf movement, said device capable of storing and releasing energy, such that said device changes an energy state during the swing comprises attaching a device to said student prior to the step of instructing the student to perform a golf movement, said device capable of storing and releasing energy, such that said device stores energy during the swing.  
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 4  wherein attaching a device to said student prior to the step of instructing the student to perform a golf movement, said device capable of storing and releasing energy, such that said device changes an energy state during the swing comprises attaching a device to said student prior to the step of instructing the student to perform a golf movement, said device capable of storing and releasing energy, such that said device releases energy during the swing.
