Description
- While watching American Idol one evening, one of the judges wore an intriguing ring. The mass of the ring covered the top side of the finger with gold from the bottom of the finger nail to the base of the finger. After had played a round of golf the previous weekend, something clicked as far as a fix to a challenge I was having with my golf swing. The challenge I had was my lead arm bending at the elbow, just before the club contacting the golf ball. The idea sparked that if the American Idol judge where to spin the ring to the underside of her finger, she could not bend her finger. If the concept for the finger could be transitioned to the golfer's arm, the fix became my vision.
- In the game of golf, many amateurs are challenged to hit the ball consistently due to bending their lead elbow either during the backswing or just before contacting the ball. The bended elbow, which occurs with the arm closest to the target, has been nick-named as a Chicken Wing.
- The slightest hinge at the elbow will result in topping the ball, hitting a slice, or missing the ball altogether. When watching most every professional golfer, the arm closest to the target remains straight throughout the backswing, contact of the ball, and during the immediate follow-through. For the advanced and professional golfer, this arm discipline is one of the foundation points giving them the consistent ability to hit the ball with power & consistency.
- The invention of the Wing Clip training swing tool is geared to secure the arm so the elbow is greatly restricted from bending. The product is worn on the arm closest to the target. The Wing Clip is worn on the inner arm and has straps to secure the tool to the upper forearm, lower bicep, and secured at the elbow. The Wing Clip is designed to wear while practicing hitting balls at the driving range. For some it is still an option to wear the training tool during a round of golf.
