Abstract

Abstract A golf practice device comprising an elastic and resilient member adapted to be attached and positioned with respect to the forearm of the player so that the arm is held straight against bending with the head properly positioned relative to the shoulder and to improve the pivoting of the body. The golf practice device includes a length of flexible, elastic and resilient cord including a clamp at each end thereof. The clamps are adapted to engage the cord at any position along the length thereof, so that a loop of any size may be formed at each end of the cord. The length of the cord is such that it may extend from a first loop encircling generally the area of a golfer''s shoulder join, across the golfer''s back, around the golfer''s forearm and to a second loop encircling the joint between the thumb and adjacent finger of the hand on the golfer''s other arm. The shoulder engaging end of the cord also is adapted to be fastened to the golfer''s belt. In order to also maintain the golfer''s head in proper position, the shoulder engaging end of the cord is adapted to encircle the golfer''s head, pass downwardly on a side of the golfer''s face, under the golfer''s chin, over and under the golfer''s shoulder and then to the golfer''s forearm and thumb.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 141 words
A golf practice device comprising a single elastic and resilient member, a clamping member fixedly secured to each of the opposite ends of said elastic and resilient member, each said clamping member clamping and detachably engaging said elastic and resilient member at a location along the length thereof and forming an adjustable loop at each of the opposite ends, with each loop being adjustable to accommodate varying sizes, with one of said loops adapted to encircle the joint between one arm and its adjacent shoulder of the wearer and said elastic and resilient member extending across the back of the wearer and forwardly and encircling the forearm of the other arm, with the other loop encircling the joint between the thumb and adjacent finger of the hand of said other arm to prevent said other arm from bending at the elbow.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 141 words
A golf practice device comprising a single elastic and resilient member, a clamping member fixedly secured to each of the opposite ends of said elastic and resilient member, each said clamping member clamping and detachably engaging said elastic and resilient member at a location along the length thereof and forming an adjustable loop at each of the opposite ends, with each loop being adjustable to accommodate varying sizes, with one of said loops adapted to encircle the joint between one arm and its adjacent shoulder of the wearer and said elastic and resilient member extending across the back of the wearer and forwardly and encircling the forearm of the other arm, with the other loop encircling the joint between the thumb and adjacent finger of the hand of said other arm to prevent said other arm from bending at the elbow.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 28 words
A structure as set forth in claim 1 in which each clamping member has a pair of clamping jaws for detachable engagement with said elastic and resilient member.
