A sleeve unit adapted for slipping over the end of a golf club shaft opposite the end holding a golf head therefor and having an axis along its length, comprising:

• a rigid sleeve member having a surface for gripping by a user,
• an elastic media element being at least partially encircled by said sleeve member,
• said sleeve member and said media element being adapted for producing relative rocking movement between said sleeve member and the shaft, and
• means for permitting said rocking movement in the plane of the swinging of the golf club to be different from the movement in the plane normal to the plane of the swinging of the golf club.

A sleeve unit arranged for detachable and reattachable relationship to the shaft of a golf club, comprising,

• a rigid sleeve memeber at least partially hollow at one end thereof and adapted to receive one end of the shaft,
• said sleeve member including a hand-applying gripping surface and an end cap,
• said cap having an extension rigidly attached thereto at its center and extending toward and into said hollow end of said sleeve member,
• an elastic media element at least partially enclosed by said sleeve member, filling at least partially the space inside said sleeve member, and
• said sleeve member and media element being adapted for producing relative longitudinal movement between said sleeve member and the shaft, and
• means for permitting said rocking movement in the plane of the swinging of the golf club to be different from movement in the plane normal to the plane of swinging of the golf club.
