Abstract

A swinging and hitting training aid for batters and golfers having first, second and third attachment members that attach to a person's arm, calf, and foot respectively. The training aid includes an stretchable band of resistance tubing that provides a visible indicator between the first and second attachment members. The visible indicator includes a pair of abutting sleeves that form a separable cover about the resistance tubing. The visible indicator is connected to the first attachment member by a first tether, and the second attachment member is connected to the third attachment member by a second tether. The tethers may be fixed or variable length and may include resistance tubing of greater resistance than the stretchable band of the visible indicator portion of the device.
