Abstract
An apparatus for aiding the re-gripping golf clubs is presented. In an embodiment, a support base comprises an aperture, wherein the aperture is wider than at least a portion of a tapered elongated shaft and narrower than a second wider portion of the tapered elongated shaft. A slot extends from an end of the support base to the aperture. A user may then slide a golf club through the slot and push down to secure the club in place during re-gripping.
Claims4
A support base for stabilizing a golf club while re-gripping, the support base comprising:
- an aperture forming a tapered hole traversing through a height of the support base, wherein the tapered hole has a larger diameter at the top of the support base and a smaller diameter at the bottom of the support base and wherein the aperture is wider than a most narrow portion of a tapered elongated shaft, and
- a slot forming an elongated channel traversing the height of the support base, wherein the slot is narrower than a diameter of the aperture and extends from an end of the support base to the aperture.
A support base for stabilizing a golf club while re-gripping, the support base comprising:
- a first segment forming a first half of the support base, the first segment including a first indentation;
- and
- a second segment forming a second half of the support base, the second segment including a second indentation,
- wherein the first and second segments are joined by a coupling mechanism, the coupling mechanism comprising:
- a hinge joining the first and second segments of the support base, and
- a closing mechanism for securing the first and second segments in a locked position;
- wherein at a closed position the first and second segments create an aperture forming a tapered hole traversing through a height of the support base, wherein the tapered hole has a larger diameter at the top of the support base and a smaller diameter at the bottom of the support base and wherein the aperture is wider than a most narrow portion of a tapered elongated shaft.
