| 20120083352 | PASSIVE HAND MOVE SWING AID DEVICE FOR GOLF AND BASEBALL - Starting the execution of an athletic swing from the apex, an individual's hands should initially move passively down and allow the present invention, comprising of a protruding extension spring integrated with a mounting clamp and securely attached to either a baseball bat or golf club slightly above the grip of the hands, to touch and bend by the trailing forearm prior to rotating the body strongly into the ball. The contact of the spring to the forearm before ball impact will give immediate feedback to the individual that the club is ideally moving downward past the trailing shoulder and forearm and acquiring potential energy for the swing. If the spring does not touch the trailing forearm during the execution of the swing, the lack of contact will indicate that the club is moving over the top of the trailing forearm. This indicates a leaking of power during the swing. | 04-05-2012 |
