Abstract
In the basic embodiment, the swing training device is a support rod, a first end of which is secured to a hinged mechanism, the hinged mechanism being secured to a support, the opposing end of the support rod having secured thereto a head piece which is engageable with the upper portion of the head or forehead of an athlete, the support rod extending a sufficient distance from its support and hinge mechanism to allow an individual to execute a swing at a stationary ball while the head piece is in contact with the athlete's head, thereby providing tactile feedback.
