Abstract
A swing training device which provides both audible and tactile feedback to an individual. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a bow-shaped support structure having two tensioned laterally-displaced vibratable members positioned between the end portions of the structure. When the present invention is fixedly attached to a sports implement, such as by a clip partially encircling the shaft of a golf club, and is swung by the individual, the passage of the vibratable members through the air displaces the vibratable members which initiates their vibration. This vibration provides an audible response and a tactile response to the individual, the magnitude of which is dependent upon the velocity with which the sports implement is swung.
