Sporting Device

Abstract

A system and method for a sporting device. The sporting device has a foot plate supported by a central plate. Below the foot plate is a central body with a void, and the central plate fits within the void. The central plate can rotate relative to the central body allowing the foot plate to rotate. A user can use the device to allow and increase the rotation of the foot during a swing.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A sporting device comprising:
 a foot plate supported by a central plate;   a central body with a void, wherein said central plate fits within said void;   wherein said central plate can rotate relative to said central body; and   wherein said central body comprises a body coupler.   
     
     
         2 . The sporting device of  claim 1  wherein said central plate comprises an outer void, and wherein said central body comprises at least one block which extends inward and aligns with said outer void. 
     
     
         3 . The sporting device of  claim 2  wherein said at least one block restricts rotation of said central plate. 
     
     
         4 . The sporting device of  claim 1  wherein said central plate comprises a rotational degree of freedom of between about 20 degrees and about 180 degrees. 
     
     
         5 . The sporting device of  claim 1  wherein said central plate comprises a rotational degree of freedom of between about 15 degrees and about 90 degrees. 
     
     
         6 . The sporting device of  claim 1  wherein said central body comprises an internal periphery void adjacent to said central plate, and wherein said central plate comprises at least one block which extends outward and aligns with said internal periphery void. 
     
     
         7 . The sporting device of  claim 1  further comprising ball bearings which allow rotation of said central plate relative to said central body. 
     
     
         8 . The sporting device of  claim 1  further comprising an intermediate plate located below said foot plate and above said central late. 
     
     
         9 . The sporting device of  claim 4  further comprising a cover located above said central body and below said foot plate, and wherein said cover comprises an internal void, and wherein said intermediate plate fits within said internal void. 
     
     
         10 . The sporting device of  claim 1  further comprising a cover located above said central body and below said foot plate. 
     
     
         11 . The sporting device of  claim 1  wherein said foot plate comprises friction knubs. 
     
     
         12 . The sporting device of  claim 1  further comprising a base located beneath said central body. 
     
     
         13 . The sporting device of  claim 1  further comprising:
 ball bearings which allow rotation of said central plate relative to said central body; 
 an intermediate plate located below said foot plate and above said central plate; 
 a cover located above said central body and below said foot plate; and 
 a base located beneath said central body. 
 
     
     
         14 . The sporting device of  claim 1  further comprising at least one foot extension removeably coupled to said body coupler. 
     
     
         15 . The sporting device of  claim 14  wherein said foot extension comprises at least one stop which is moveable along said food extension's length. 
     
     
         16 . The sporting device of  claim 14  wherein said foot extension comprises recesses along its length, and further comprising at least one stop which couples with said recess. 
     
     
         17 . The sporting device of  claim 14  further comprising two foot extensions which are releaseably coupled. 
     
     
         18 . The sporting device of  claim 13  wherein said base further comprises a body coupler, and wherein said body coupler of said base is the same as the body coupler on said central body. 
     
     
         19 . A method of training on a sporting device, said sporting device comprising:
 a foot plate supported by a central plate;   a central body with a void, wherein said central plate fits within said void;   wherein said central plate can rotate relative to said central body;   wherein said central body comprises a body coupler;   at least one foot extension removeably coupled to said body coupler;   at least one stop which is moveable along said foot extension's length, wherein said method comprises:   placing a first rotating foot on the foot plate;   adjusting said at least one stop along the length of the foot extension to obtain a desired stance;   securing said stop along the length;   placing a second off foot on the foot extension adjacent one of said at least one stop;   applying a torque to rotate said first rotating foot.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19  wherein said applying a torque comprises swinging a golf club.
