Abstract
A ring approximately 1¾″ outside diameter×⅞″ inside diameter×⅜″ wide that can be placed on a golf club shaft where it will engage the grip material and form a snug fit. The ring will help prevent the golf club from slipping or twisting out of the hands of a golfer when executing a swing in wet weather conditions. The ring is removable from the grip and shaft when it is not required.
Claims5
A circular ring that is placed on a golf club shaft and located at the top of the handgrip shaft just below the largest diameter where it would engage and slightly compress the grip material for a snug fit. The ring then acts as a device which helps prevent a player's hands from slipping or twisting off the handgrip in wet weather conditions.
The same ring as cited in claims 1, 2 and 3 where the ring device has a permanent open gap that is not opened or closed by a fastener device and is installed on the shaft at the smallest diameter of the shaft just above the club head and slid upwards to the top of the handgrip where it will engage the grip material for a snug fit. The inside diameter of the ring is slightly smaller than the top outside diameter of the handgrip which prevents the ring from slipping off the shaft.
