Abstract
An improved freestanding golf swing training system with a floor-mounted base 9or mounted-to-ground post) and a pelvic belt assembly that wraps around the golfer's hips and guides the golfer's pivot during the backswing, downswing and follow through. The adjustable, dual-axis system guides the pelvis as it pivots about an axis behindthe golfer's right leg (for right handers) in the backswing and downswing, and pivots about an axis behind and outside the golfer's left leg in the follow through. A dual-pivot mechanism, that connects the belt to the base, inhibits lateral movement of the hips during the backswing and downswing. The mechanism allows the distance between the pivot centers to be adjustable to various hip sizes. The system has a built-in conversion feature that permits the belt to be inverted to accommodate both right-handed and left-handed golfers.
