A series of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips having a sequence of systematically varying predetermined weights can be removably mounted on a golf club, as desired, to provide the desired swing weight. The tubular fitting grips each have a void through a length of one side of a tubular outer wall allowing each grip to be interchangeably mounted on the golf club. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for modifying swing weight of a golf club having a club head, a shaft and a grip area, comprising: a plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips having a length and a tubular outer wall configured to be removably mounted on the grip area of the golf club, said plurality of interchangeable weighted fitting grips having a sequence of systematically varying predetermined weights, respectively, each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips having a void extending through one side of said tubular outer wall along said length allowing each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips to be removably mounted on the grip area of the golf club. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips vary as to total weight and weight along said length, respectively. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted fitting grips is formed of rubber. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted fitting grips is formed with a plurality of circular air pockets to control the weight of each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted fitting grips, respectively. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted fitting grips is formed of a plurality of layers of material including an outer layer and at least one under listings layer of material. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one wrap of weighted tape configured to adhere each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips, respectively, to the grip area of the golf club. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein each said at least one wrap of weighted tape is configured to decrease the swing weight of the golf club one swing weight increment. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips have different colors to differentiate different weights of each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips, respectively. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips have an end cap, and each of said end caps of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips having different colors to differentiate different weights of each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips, respectively. ### Claim 10 A method for modifying swing weight of a golf club having a club head, a shaft and a grip area, comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips having a length and a tubular outer wall configured to be removably mounted on the grip area of the golf club, said plurality of interchangeable weighted fitting grips having a sequence of systematically varying predetermined weights, respectively, each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips having a void extending through one side of said tubular outer wall along said length allowing each of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips to be removably mounted on the grip area of the golf club; selecting a desired one of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips configured to produce a desired swing weight of the golf club; and removably mounting desired one of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips to the grip area of the golf club to achieve a desired swing weight of the golf club based on the weight of said desired one of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising the step of adhering said desired one of said plurality of interchangeable weighted tubular fitting grips to the grip area of the golf club with at least one wrap of a weighted tape to decrease the swing weight of the golf club one swing weight increment per each wrap of said weighted tape. ### Claim 12 A weighted tubular fitting grip for a golf club having a club head, a shaft and a grip area, the weighted tubular fitting grip comprising: a tubular grip for a golf club, said tubular grip having a length and a tubular outer wall configured to be removably mounted on the grip area of the golf club, said tubular grip having a predetermined weight and a void extending through one side of said tubular outer wall along said length allowing said tubular grip to be removably mounted on the grip area of the golf club. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The weighted tubular fitting grip of claim 12, wherein said tubular grip is formed of rubber containing a plurality of circular air pockets configured to control the predetermined weight of said tubular grip. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The weighted tubular fitting grip of claim 12, wherein said tubular grip is formed of a plurality of layers of material including an outer layer and at least one under listings layer of material.
