473228000 | Air resistance device (e.g., airfoil, etc.) | 8 |
20090131191 | MUSCLE TRAINING APPARATUS AND METHOD - The invention is directed to a muscle trainer for exercising opposing muscles of a person moving an implement, such as a golf club, wherein, if the opposing muscles were of appropriate strength, the opposing muscles would desirably apply forces in opposite directions to the implement to assist in maintaining an ideal movement of the implement. The contemplated muscle trainer of this invention includes a body and a force generator positioned at a prescribed location on the body for urging the body in a direction away from a force direction which a weaker set of the opposing muscles would normally apply to the implement in the movement of the implement by the person. | 05-21-2009 |
20100022319 | Golf training device and method thereof - The present invention relates generally to a sports training device and method thereof. More particularly, the invention encompasses a flexible panel having a pocket for accommodating a golf club that is secured to the head of a golf club and used as a golf training device (GTD). The present invention is also directed to a novel method of training a golfer using the inventive golf training tool. The inventive golf training device may also be referred to as a lag rag or as a wind speed resistance trainer. | 01-28-2010 |
20110218048 | Golf Club Sleeve And Golf Clubs For Use Therewith - A golf club sleeve for use with various golf club structures is presented. The golf club sleeve may have an airfoil shaped cross section and may extend over at least a portion of the shaft of the golf club to reduce drag associated with the shaft during a golf swing, thereby increasing swing speed. The golf club sleeve may be rotatable relative to the shaft of the golf club to orient itself during a swing in order to improve air flow over the sleeve. | 09-08-2011 |
20110287850 | Wind-eagle - This invention promotes quicker swing speed and or balance, by using aero dynamic, properties as you would use a dragsters, parachute to slow down, a moving car, without brakes, when you swing this training device it builds up your muscles, and helps your balance, without using weighted clubs, this mimics the golf swing, more natural, because it does not add weight to a club, head, therefore it is a better swing trainer, and just uses wind resistance, at the clubhead, to slow down your normal swing, therefore, increases, and builds the right muscles needed for better swing speed, as I said before, I can send pictures of my proto-type, if needed. | 11-24-2011 |
20120040770 | GOLF AID - A golf aid including a yoke portion with a pair of the divergent upper portions, a pair of forearm guide portions, one associated with each of the divergent upper portions of the yoke and a resilient means to bias the forearm guide portions into an extended condition whereby a user's forearms apply force to the forearm guide portions against the biasing force in order to maintain optimum spacing between the user's forearms. | 02-16-2012 |
20120258816 | SPORTS SWINGING EXERCISE DEVICE AND METHOD - A method and a device are disclosed for improving performance in sports where a swinging motion is needed. In some embodiments, a swing resistance device may be attached to or be built into elongated sport apparatus, such as racquets, clubs, bats, sticks, and the like, configured to resist a swinging motion of the sport apparatus by capturing air and utilizing a force of air resistance, similar to a parachute. The swing resistance device is generally attached to the elongated sport apparatus by coupling components that allow the swing resistance device to freely rotate around the effective longitudinal axis of the elongated sport apparatus. During a swing, air resistance creates dynamic forces that over time may improve swing power and path. | 10-11-2012 |
20130079172 | Golf Club - A golf club or implement comprising a grip region, a head, and a shaft connecting the grip region to the head. A fairing is attachable to a trailing edge of the shaft and/or surface treatment such as dimpling is applied to the shaft. The fairing and/or surface treatment can reduce drag associated with the shaft during a swing motion of the club or implement. The fairing can, on attachment, extend along a portion of the shaft from a location proximal the head of the club or implement. | 03-28-2013 |
20140364247 | Collapsible Air Resistance Training Tool For Improved Swing - A collapsible golf swing training tool employs a plurality of elliptical blades, attached to a weighted shaft, to capitalize on air resistance, to aid in developing the muscle memory and strength required for a smooth and consistent golf swing. Cylindrical weights can be added or removed to meets the user's needs and may be positioned such that their linear axis is parallel or perpendicular to the linear axis of the tool. For convenience the blades are collapsible for easy storage within a golfer's golf bag. | 12-11-2014 |
