Tennis Training Device

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure can comprise systems and devices for improving a player's tennis swing timing. In some embodiment, the systems and devices can comprise a first band and a second band. The first band can include a first adherent component, and the second band can include a second adherent component. The second adherent component can detachably attach to the first adherent component.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A tennis training device comprising:
 a first band configured to be worn on an upper arm of a user, the first band including a first adherent component; and   a second band configured to be worn on a torso of the user, the second band including a second adherent component configured to detachably attach to the first adherent component.   
     
     
         2 . The tennis training device of  claim 1 , wherein the first band is further configured to substantially align with the second adherent component when the upper arm is at a predetermined position with respect to the torso. 
     
     
         3 . The tennis training device of  claim 1  further comprising an insert disposed between the second adherent component and the torso, wherein the second band is further configured to receive at least a portion of the insert. 
     
     
         4 . The tennis training device of  claim 3 , wherein the insert comprises foam. 
     
     
         5 . The tennis training device of  claim 4 , wherein the foam includes at least one of high-density foam, polyethylene foam, closed-cell polyethylene foam, soft plastics, and beading. 
     
     
         6 . The tennis training device of  claim 4 , wherein, when the first and second adherent components are connected, a connective force between the first and second adherent components is of sufficient strength to maintain a connected state to guide the user during preparation for a tennis groundstroke and to transition from the connected state to an unconnected state when the user begins to execute the tennis groundstroke. 
     
     
         7 . The tennis training device of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second adherent components collectively comprise a pair of magnets, a pair of snaps, or a hook and loop fastener. 
     
     
         8 . The tennis training device of  claim 7 , wherein the first and second adherent components are configured to provide auditory feedback to the user upon detachment of the first adherent component from the second adherent component. 
     
     
         9 . A tennis swing training device for guiding a wearer into a proper motion for preparing for a groundstroke, the device comprising:
 a first band adapted to be worn on an upper portion of the wearer's first arm, the first band including a first magnet; and   a second band adapted to be worn on the wearer's torso, the second band including a second magnet and an insert configured to position the second magnet a distance from the wearer's torso,   wherein the first and second magnets are configured to be in a connected state while the wearer is preparing to deliver the groundstroke and are configured to transition from the connected state to an unconnected state as the wearer delivers the groundstroke.
