An athletic implement swing training and correction system includes a computer controlled mechanical manipulation mechanism for controlling the position and orientation of the athletic implement within a predetermined swing path geometry. The predetermined athletic implement swing path position and orientation is tailored to the physiology of the individual athlete from a collection of swing path geometries. A system of computer controlled position control actuators guide the swing of the student athlete through a tailored swing path geometry. Deviations from the tailored swing path geometry result in force feedback to the student athlete in direct relation to the amount of deviation from the tailored swing path position and implement orientation.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An implement swing training and correction system for use by a student athlete comprising:means for storing multiple sets of Cartesian coordinates representing a collection of predetermined individual implement swing path positions and implement orientations;means for selecting one of said individual predetermined individual implement swing path positions and implement orientations and transforming said selected individual predetermined implement swing path positions and implement orientations into a system of Cartesian coordinates representing a tailored swing path geometry conforming to the physiology of the student athlete;a computer controlled mechanical system constructed and arranged to control the position and orientation of the implement along said tailored swing path geometry;means for providing force feedback to the student athlete when the swing path geometry imparted to the implement by the student athlete deviates from said tailored swing path geometry;said force feedback being in direct relation to the amount of deviation of the swing path geometry from said tailored swing path geometry.
