Abstract
Abstract A GOLF "CLUB" FOR PRACTICE SWINGS HAS THE USUAL CLUB HEAD REPLACED BY A MASS ECCENTRICALLY PIVOTED FOR FREE SWINGING MOVEMENT ON A PIVOT AXIS PERPENDICULAR TO THE LENGTH OF THE SHAFT AND PARALLEL TO THE SWING DIRECTION. THE MASS IS FREELY SWINGABLE THROUGH A RANGE OF POSITIONS THAT INCLUDE THE POSITION WHEREIN THE CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE MASS IS ALIGNED WITH THE SHAFT. THE MASS MAY TAKE THE FORM OF A FLAT BLADE AND IT MAY INCLUDE A LOFTED PORTION WHICH CAN BE USED EFFECTIVELY FOR HITTING A GOLF BALL. CERTAIN SWING ERRORS ARE SIGNALLED TO THE PLAYER BY DYNAMIC REACTION OF THE MASS.
