A method is provided for gauging the squeeze pressure of a golf club which generally includes the steps of providing a golf club having an elongated shaft, placing an expanded synthetic rubber, internally ribbed cushioning device with adjustable pressure sensors over the distal end of the shaft, the expanded synthetic rubber, internally ringed cushioning device comprising a sheath to surround the proximal end of the shaft along a desired length and being constructed of expanded synthetic rubber of a density predetermined by the manufacturer to require the golfer to apply with both hands optimum squeeze pressure for maximum control of golf strokes in order to feel the ringed protrusions enveloped therein. A cushioning and training apparatus is also provided, which includes adjustable pressure sensors enveloped by ringed protrusions that signal an audible device to sound and a light emitting diode (LED) to illuminate when optimum squeeze pressure for maximum control of strokes is applied with both hands by the golfer. A removable control unit at the butt end of the invention may be used to adjust the sensitivity of the pressure sensors and disable the LED and audible device as desired.
