Abstract
A baseball, softball and golf swing training device having a base platform, an adjustable and movable forward foot stop and an adjustable belt adjustably connected to a pair of straps for controlling the hips and may also include a pivot foot pedal for pivoting a hitter's rear foot with a heel lifting wedge, at least one adjustable pedal stopper for limiting the amount of pivot wherein the foot pedal pivots when swinging. The amount of rotation is dictated by a pair adjustable pedal stoppers and the adjustable forward foot stop dictates the distance a hitter steps forward into a pitch with the lead foot and the angle of the lead foot when stepping into a pitch. With respect to golf, the forward foot stop dictates the placement and angle of the forward foot when hitting a golf ball.
