Adjustable golf training system

Abstract

A golf swing training device comprising has a support base for contacting a support surface, such as the ground. There is a vertical support element extending upward from the support base having a lateral support arm transverse on the vertical support element with a relatively left side and a relatively right side. The lateral support arm has two directional arms extending in a forward direction away from the lateral support arms. The lateral support arm has a rotation-enabling connection to the vertical support element so that the relatively left side can be elevated above the relatively right side, and alternatively the relatively right side may be elevated above the relatively left side to alter the individual respective heights of the two arms.

         2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the vertical support element has a lockable, vertically telescoping construction so that a contact area between the vertical support element and the lateral support element with respect to the support base may be adjusted vertically. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1  wherein a locking element between the vertical support element and the lateral support element allows vertical movement of the lateral support element with respect to the support base along the vertical support element. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 2  wherein the support base comprises an at least three leg base with a central connector engaging the at least three legs. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the lateral support element may swivel from a position parallel with the support surface at least ±60° from the horizontal. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 4  wherein the lateral support element may swivel from a position parallel with the support surface at least ±60° from the horizontal. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1  wherein each of the directional arms has a tension gripping sleeve overlaying at least 25% of surface of the directional arms. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 2  wherein each of the directional arms has a tension gripping compressible sleeve overlaying at least 25% of surface of the directional arms. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 6  wherein each of the directional arms has a tension gripping compressible sleeve overlaying at least 25% of surface of the directional arms. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 8  wherein the tension gripping compressible sleeve comprises a compressible foam sleeve having a surface hardness less than that of stainless steel. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 9  wherein the tension gripping compressible sleeve comprises a compressible foam sleeve having a surface hardness less than that of stainless steel. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 10  wherein the compressible foam sleeves comprise synthetic polymer foam sleeves that grip respective directional arms so that the foam sleeves will not slide off the respective directional arms when the directional arms are tilted downward at a 60° angle. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 11  wherein the compressible foam sleeves comprise synthetic polymer foam sleeves that grip respective directional arms so that the foam sleeves will not slide off the respective directional arms when the directional arms are tilted downward at a 60° angle. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the two directional arms are each separately slideable and position lockable along the lateral support arm. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 4  wherein the lateral support arm is pivotable with respect to the support surface and may be locked and unlocked with respect to an angled position parallel to or angled away from the support surface, 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 12  wherein the two directional arms are each separately slideable and position lockable along the lateral support arm. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 13  wherein the lateral support arm is pivotable with respect to the support surface and may be locked and unlocked with respect to an angled position parallel to or angled away from the support surface, 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 8  wherein the two directional arms are each separately slideable and position lockable along the lateral support arm. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 9  wherein the lateral support arm is pivotable with respect to the support surface and may be locked and unlocked with respect to an angled position parallel to or angled away from the support surface, 
     
     
         20 . A golf swing training device comprising:
 a support base for contacting a support surface;   a vertical support element extending upward from the support base'   the vertical support element having a lateral support arm transverse on the vertical support element with a relatively left side and a lateral support arm on the vertical support having a relatively right side;   each lateral support arm having a directional arms extending in a forward direction away from the lateral support arms; and   each directional arm having a rotation-enabling connection to the lateral support element so that the left lateral support arm can be elevated above the relatively right side lateral support arm, and vice versa to alter the individual respective heights of the two arms.
