Abstract
A portable apparatus and method for providing real time visual feedback of a sports swing to a user is provided. The portable apparatus comprises a rotatable reflecting surface housed in a frame, an attachment assembly connected to a rear section of the frame, a telescopic pole rotatably attached to the attachment assembly, and a fastener. The rotatable reflecting surface enables the user to view the sports swing. The attachment assembly facilitates rotation of the rotatable reflecting surface housed in the frame about a first axis. The telescopic pole facilitates rotation of the rotatable reflecting surface about a second axis. In an embodiment, the telescopic pole is rigidly attached to a pole holder that accommodates the telescopic pole. The fastener is pivotally attached to the telescopic pole for facilitating rotation of the telescopic pole about a third axis. The fastener enables attachment of the portable apparatus to different sports equipment.
