Golf swing training aid to torque rotation into arm

Abstract

A golf swing training aid for applying rotational force into a golfer's arm includes an arm strap assembly, and a lever mechanism comprising an effort, load, and fulcrum. A drive pulley assembly and a connecting strap applies tension force to said lever mechanism's effort thereby the lever mechanism's load outputs torque into the arm strap assembly and arm.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A golf swing training aid comprising:
 a. an arm strap assembly;   b. and a lever mechanism comprising an effort, load, and fulcrum.   
     
     
         2 . The golf swing training aid of  claim 1 , wherein also comprising a drive pulley assembly configured to fasten onto a golfer's legs, torso, or upper body. 
     
     
         3 . The golf swing training aid of  claim 1 , wherein also comprising an elongated connecting strap configured to attach at a first end to said lever mechanism's effort. 
     
     
         4 . The golf swing training aid of  claim 1 , wherein also comprising an elongated connecting strap made of an elastically, expandable, or resilient material. 
     
     
         5 . The golf swing training aid of  claim 1 , wherein also comprising an elongated connecting strap configured to attach at a first end to said lever mechanism's effort and at a second end to a drive pulley assembly securely fastened onto a golfer's legs, torso, or upper body. 
     
     
         6 . The golf swing training aid of  claim 1 , wherein said lever mechanism comprises a golfer's arm as a fulcrum. 
     
     
         7 . The golf swing training aid of  claim 1 , wherein said lever mechanism comprises a wheel and axle system. 
     
     
         8 . The golf swing training aid of  claim 1 , wherein said lever mechanism comprises an elongated strap: attached at a first end to a point on said arm strap assembly located on the front-facing, anterior, or lateral side of a golfer's arm; then wraps, lays, or goes over around the lateral side of the arm; and a second end positioned on the rear-facing, posterior, or lateral side of the arm. 
     
     
         9 . The golf swing training aid of  claim 1 , wherein said lever mechanism comprises a first class lever system. 
     
     
         10 . The golf swing training aid of  claim 1 , wherein said lever mechanism comprises: a load attached to an anterior, ventral, or lateral point on said arm strap assembly; then proximally lays over the lateral side of an arm; and an effort proximal of the load with an end located on the rear-facing, posterior, or lateral side of the arm. 
     
     
         11 . A method of using a golf swing training aid comprising the steps of:
 a. an arm strap assembly, and a lever mechanism comprising an effort, load, and fulcrum;   b. executing a golf swing, wherein said lever mechanism applies rotational force into a golfer's arm.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein applying tension force to said lever mechanism's effort converts the lever mechanism's load to output torque. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein a connecting strap applies tension force to said lever mechanism's effort. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said rotational force drives a golfer's trail arm into an externally rotating position. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said rotational force drives a golfer's lead arm into an internally rotating position. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said rotational force applies, maintains, or furthers an arm's rotating position during an entire downswing including initiation, transition, pre-release, release, and impact. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein a connecting strap connects a drive pulley assembly to said lever mechanism to operate as a cross belt drive pulley system. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said lever mechanism operates as a wheel and axle system during a downswing. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said lever mechanism operates as a first class lever system during a downswing. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein applying tension force to said arm strap assembly drives a golfer's trail arm to unfold into extension during a downswing.
