         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said vertical axis component is adjustable in height. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein said vertical axis component is adjustable in height. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein each of said orthotics includes a heel cup and a fore foot area, said fore foot area includes a transversa arch, a longitude arch on an interior portion; wherein a distal edge of said fore foot area includes a first metatarsal arch, a second metatarsal arch, a third metatarsal arch, a fourth metatarsal arch, and a fifth metatarsal arch;
 wherein said transversa arch, said longitude arch, said first metatarsal arch, said second metatarsal arch, said third metatarsal arch, said fourth metatarsal arch and said fifth metatarsal arch all function as one unit on a subtalar joint which is a mid-stance phase of gait neutral position; wherein said forefoot area tilts downward from said fifth metatarsal arch to said first metatarsal arch along a six-degree (6°) valgus slope.   
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein each of said orthotics includes a heel cup and a fore foot area, said fore foot area includes a transversa arch, a longitude arch on an interior portion; wherein a distal edge of said fore foot area includes a first metatarsal arch, a second metatarsal arch, a third metatarsal arch, a fourth metatarsal arch, and a fifth metatarsal arch;
 wherein said transversa arch, said longitude arch, said first metatarsal arch, said second metatarsal arch, said third metatarsal arch, said fourth metatarsal arch and said fifth metatarsal arch all function as one unit on a subtalar joint which is a mid-stance phase of gait neutral position; wherein said forefoot area tilts downward from said fifth metatarsal arch to said first metatarsal arch along a six-degree (6°) valgus slope.   
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein said movability of said movable vertical axis and said overhead structure allows for producing a straight shot travel path, a fade shot travel path and a draw shot travel path. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein said movability of said movable vertical axis and said overhead structure allows for producing a straight shot travel path, a fade shot travel path and a draw shot travel path. 
     
     
         9 . A method of golf training, comprising using a golf training device comprising of a base for other components of the device, the base to provide support above a surface; the base including a center base component and at least one extension leg extending from the center base;
 the center base including a vertical axis component extending upward from the center base and the vertical axis component movable attached to the center base so that the vertical axis component moves along the center base; two forefoot directors adapted to be positioned on the surface within the base and in relation to the vertical axis component and adapted to provide guidance for positioning of feet of a user; and a pair of orthotics with a modified fore foot arca adapted for use by the user, wherein cach of the orthotics includes a heel cup and a fore foot area, the fore foot area includes a transversa arch, a longitude arch on an interior portion;   wherein a distal edge of the fore foot area includes a first metatarsal arch, a second metatarsal arch, a third metatarsal arch, a fourth metatarsal arch, and a fifth metatarsal arch; wherein the transversa arch, the longitude arch, the first metatarsal arch, the second metatarsal arch, the third metatarsal arch, the fourth metatarsal arch and the fifth metatarsal arch all function as one unit on a subtalar joint which is a mid-stance phase of gait neutral position; wherein the forefoot arca tilts downward from the fifth metatarsal arch to the first metatarsal arch along a six-degree (6°) valgus slope;   comprising of where a golfing instructor helps a golfer perform a basic fundamental and improved golf swing ground-up force directed, through the feet to the center of gravity, and up through the golfer's imaginary vertical axis in order to complete the golf swing; wherein golfer's vertical axis provides a relationship to the golfer's imaginary vertical axis when being viewed and evaluated by the instructor; and   comprising the steps of the golfer positioning at the forefoot directors while wearing the orthotics places the golfer in a Mid Stance phase of gait (static) when addressing the golf ball and the Subtalor joint of each foot along the Subtalor joint line of the orthotic, where the Subtalor joint range of motion is ⅔ supination to ⅓ pronation, changing position during the backswing of the golf club by a right hand golfer and reversing if a left hand golfer, the rear foot position of the both fect remains stationary, while weight is on the left foot with weight shift to the right foot the Force to the rear of the left foot Subtalor joint is directed with transverse plane rotation where the Subtalor joint allows six (6) degrees of pronation and the knee does not go past the vertical axis  35 , the Force is directed to the fore foot area to the first metatarsal jont and the area of the CG; during he down swing there is an increase in Force, where the rear part of the left foot is stationary, but there is heal lifting of the rear part of the right foot, where the left leg is straight with the inside of the left knee producing a more stable imaginary vertical axis along the vertical axis and the centrifugal force resulting in an unbroken more effective swing plane; during the top of the backswing and the forward swing the fore foot area of the orthotic helps lateral imaginary vertical axis movement, where the fore foot area of the orthotic decreases time of Force and increases Force to the first metatarsal joint.
