Transition Pilot

Abstract

A protruding device is used to encumber a user's ability to maneuver his/her hips beyond its position while executing/simulating a golf swing. The protruding device comprises a telescopic beam, having a ball affixed to one end and a pointed, coaxial, coned tip affixed to the other. Additionally, options exist for attachment to a weighted base, specifically designed for indoor application or operability on non-penetrable surfaces.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A golf swing aid comprising a telescopic beam with a fixed number of tubular casings, sequenced and fitted to one another, thus expandable to a plurality of lengths. 
     
     
         2 . A golf swing aid in  claim 1 , wherein a ball is affixed to one end. 
     
     
         3 . A golf swing aid in  claim 1 , wherein a pointed, coaxial, coned tip is affixed to the other end. 
     
     
         4 . A golf swing aid in  claim 1 , wherein the telescopic beam is made attachable to a weighted base having a recessed cavity. 
     
     
         5 . A golf swing aid in  claim 1 , wherein the telescopic beam is made attachable to a weighted base comprising: a lower-most member having a partially spherical, recessed socket; a spherical member having two small recessed cavities positioned opposite one another, yet perpendicular to an additional larger recessed cavity; and an upper-most hemispherical, domed, outer casing member having an elongated, vertical opening and a smaller, threaded opening opposite one another, both perpendicular to two smaller, circular, threaded openings; a threaded knob; and two grub screws. 
     
     
         6 . A method to train users to engage the larger muscles of their lower bodies while executing/simulating a golf swing comprising the steps of:
 (a) providing a protruding device, perhaps as described in  claims 1  thru  5 ;   (b) instructing users to strategically position said protruding device in the lower midriff area of the user's body while at an address position; and   (c) challenging the user to maneuver his/her hips beyond the position of said protruding device while executing/simulating a golf swing; thus   (d) inciting a slight lateral shift or “bump” of the hips, followed by a pivot through impact and toward the target; furthermore   (e) attesting that a high volume of repetition is conducive to committing the newly learned maneuver to muscle memory; and thereby   (f) advancing a process to train users to engage the larger muscles of their lower bodies while executing/simulating a golf swing.
