I claim:
1. A golf-swing training device comprising:
a shaft having a first end with a handle portion connected thereto and extending along a length to a second end; and
a training body connected to said shaft near said second end, said training body having a mass, a thickness, a first side and a second side each of said sides configured to provide an increased amount of resistance to swinging as compared to said thickness, said training device configured so that said thickness and said shaft align along a plane, said first side and said second side each being aligned generally parallel to said plane;
whereby when a golfer grasps said handle and swings said training device properly said thickness remains within said plane and resistance perceived by said golfer is minimized, likewise when a golfer grasps and swings said training device improperly said thickness does not remain in said plane and resistance perceived by said golfer is increased.
2. The golf-swing training device of claim 1 wherein said mass of said training body is equal to a designated mass of a desired golf club head.
3. The golf-swing training device of claim 1 wherein said first side has a first length and said second side has a second length, said first length being generally greater than said second length; whereby when said training body moves through air in a path outside said plane said air travels over said surfaces creating a difference in pressure between said first side and said second side and causing said training body to be lifted toward said first side.
4. The device of claim 3 wherein said first side is generally convex and said second side is generally concave.
5. The device of claim 4 whereby said first side is configured so that when a portion of said thickness is directed toward said golfer during said swing said difference in pressure causes said training body to move toward said golfer.
6. A golf-swing training device comprising:
a shaft configured to approximate the dimensions of a golf club, said shaft having a first end with a handle portion connected thereto and extending along a length to a second end; and
a generally disc shaped training body connected to said shaft near said second end, said training body having a mass generally equal to a mass of golf club, a thickness, a first side and a second side; each of said sides configured to provide an increased amount of resistance to swinging as compared to said thickness; said first side being generally convex and said second side being generally concave, said training device configured so that said thickness and said shaft align along a plane, said first side and said second side each being aligned generally parallel to said plane;
whereby when a golfer grasps said handle and swings said training device properly said thickness remains within said plane and resistance perceived by said golfer is minimized, likewise when a golfer grasps and swings said training device improperly said thickness does not remain in said plane and resistance perceived by said golfer is increased.

9. The device of claim 8 whereby said first side is configured so that when a portion of said thickness is directed toward said golfer during said swing said difference in pressure causes said training body to move toward said golfer.
10. A golf-swing training device comprising:
a shaft having a first end with a grasping handle configured for grasping by a golfer and extending from said grasping handle along a length of between 35 and 47 inches to a second end; and
a disc shaped training body fixedly connected to said second end of said shaft, said training body having a mass between 8 and 10 ounces, a thickness of approximately one and one half inches, a first side and a second side each side having a diameter between 9 and 10 inches, said first side being generally concave and said second side being generally convex, said training device dimensioned so that said thickness and said length of said shaft align along a plane, said first side and said second side each being aligned generally perpendicular to said plane whereby when a golfer grasps said grasping portion and swings said training device properly said training body remains within said plane and resistance perceived by said golfer is minimized, likewise when a golfer grasps and swings said training device improperly said training body does not remain in the same plane and the amount of resistance perceived by said golfer is increased.
