Abstract
The golf club weighted attachment is formed of a flexible sheet shaped to be wrapped about a golf club, the sheet including a weighted mass and means such as mating Velcro surfaces or snaps to removeably attach the sheet and the weighted mass it carries about a golf club. The weighted mass preferably is carried in narrow, elongated pockets formed in the sheet, the pockets being spaced to be in an opposed relationship when the attachment is affixed about a golf club. In one embodiment, the weighted mass is provided by relatively flat, pliant members, while in another embodiment granular material is carried in pockets that may be opened.
