Golf swing training system and method of using the same

Abstract

A system includes a spherical member and means for attaching the same to various locations on a golfer's body. The spherical member may be an inflatable ball and the means for attachment to the golfer is a strap including a clip receiver removably engageable with a clip joined to the spherical member. In this manner, the strap, with the ball disengaged from the strap, can be moved to a new body location, where the ball can be re-attached via the engagement of the clip to the clip receiver. The clip may be attached to one or more ball-retaining straps wrapped about the ball. The ball may be solid or quasi-solid rather than inflatable.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A golf swing training system, comprising:
 a ball;   a first attachment member affixed to said ball;   a strap configured to attach to a body part of a user;   a second attachment member affixed to said strap; and   wherein said first attachment member is configured to engage said second attachment member to removably attach said strap.   
     
     
         2 . The golf swing training system of  claim 1  wherein said ball is inflatable. 
     
     
         3 . The golf swing training system of  claim 1  wherein said ball is semi-solid or solid. 
     
     
         4 . The golf swing training system of  claim 1  wherein said first attachment member is a clip and said second attachment member is a clip receiver. 
     
     
         5 . The golf swing training system of  claim 1  wherein said clip includes one or more stops and said clip receiver includes one or more openings for receipt of said one or more stops. 
     
     
         6 . The golf swing training system of  claim 1  wherein said first attachment member and said second attachment member comprise hook and loop fasteners, magnets, snaps or buttons. 
     
     
         7 . The golf swing training system of  claim 1  wherein said ball is spherical, elliptical or polygonal in shape. 
     
     
         8 . A golf swing training system, comprising:
 a ball;   a clip affixed to said ball;   a strap configured to attach to a body part of a user;   a clip receiver affixed to said strap; and   wherein said clip is configured to engage said clip receiver removably attach said ball to a body part of a user.   
     
     
         9 . The golf swing training system of  claim 8  wherein said ball is inflatable. 
     
     
         10 . The golf swing training system of  claim 8  wherein said ball is semi-solid or solid. 
     
     
         11 . The golf swing training system of  claim 8  wherein said ball is spherical, elliptical or polygonal in shape. 
     
     
         12 . The golf swing training system of  claim 8  wherein said clip is affixed to one or more retaining straps about said ball. 
     
     
         13 . The golf swing training system of  claim 8  wherein said clip includes one or more stops and said clip receiver includes one or more openings for receipt of said one or more stops. 
     
     
         14 . A golf swing training system, comprising:
 a ball;   a first attachment member affixed to said ball;   a strap configured to removably attach to arms and/or legs of a user;   a second attachment member affixed to said strap; and   wherein said first attachment member is configured to engage said second attachment member to removably attach said ball to said strap.   
     
     
         15 . The golf swing training system of  claim 14  wherein said ball is inflatable. 
     
     
         16 . The golf swing training system of  claim 14  wherein said ball is semi-solid or solid. 
     
     
         17 . The golf swing training system of  claim 14  wherein said first attachment member is a clip and said second attachment member is a clip receiver. 
     
     
         18 . The golf swing training system of  claim 17  wherein said clip includes one or more stops and said clip receiver includes one or more openings for receipt of said one or more stops. 
     
     
         19 . The golf swing training system of  claim 17  wherein said clip is affixed to one or more retaining straps about said ball. 
     
     
         20 . The golf swing training system of  claim 14  wherein said first attachment member and said second attachment member comprise hook and loop fasteners, magnets, snaps or buttons. 
     
     
         21 . The golf swing training system of  claim 14  wherein said ball is spherical, elliptical or polygonal in shape.
