Now Here Is a Training Device That Could Improve Anyone?s Game!

By David Dawsey PE Esq

ADVERTISEMENTS

OK, that title may be a stretch, but check out this training aid.....

Of course, a steerable fin on the top of a club head. Perfect!

The drawings come from a 1974 patent titled ?Golf Swing Training Device.? (USPN 3829102) The patent describes the invention as:

This is an improvement on training attachments on the head of a golf club. The training attachment includes a directing member attachable to the top of the head of the golf club so that it can be turned and held in selected directions relatively to the face of the club; a remote control device is actuated from the grip portion of the shaft of the golf club; in one form the actuation is through a line extending along the shaft of the golf club to the directing member and a device near the grip whereby the line is manipulated for turning the directing member; in another form the directing member has an electrical device including electro-magnets for turning the same, which electrical device is actuated through a switch on or near the grip portion of the shaft of the golf club.

I am a little skeptical about this training device, but it would be fun to give it a try.
