Abstract
A golf club grip extension and chipping training aid comprising a tubular grip extension having a central bore sized to accommodate the grip and shaft of a standard golf club such that the golf club can be inserted into the grip extension and secured. The grip extension can be removably attached with a slotted and threaded grommet that fits over the club shaft and screws into threading at the bottom of the grip extension. The club with the grip extension is a chipping training aid that allows a golfer to practice a chip shot with the grip extension pressed against the body to teach the chip shot without movement of the wrists.
Claims6
A golf chipping training aid that is attachable to a golf club comprising:
- a golf club having a tapered shaft with a club head attached to a narrow end of said tapered shaft and a wider grip end with a grip disposed on said grip end;
- wherein said tapered shaft has a smaller diameter at said narrow end and a larger diameter at said grip end;
- an elongated hollow grip extension having an inner bore sized to accommodate the grip at the grip end of the golf club, and an internally threaded end disposed within said inner bore;
- a threaded grommet having a tapered central opening and a slot sized to allow the narrow end of said tapered shaft near where the club head is attached to slide into said grommet and allow said grommet to slide toward said wider grip end, wherein said tapered central opening is tapered and sized to engage said tapered shaft, and wherein said threaded grommet is configured to engage and screw into said internally threaded end such that said tapered grommet can be placed around said shaft, said grip inserted into said inner bore, and said threaded grommet screwed into said internally threaded end to securely and removably attach the golf club to said grip extension;
- and
- wherein when said grip extension is held by a golfer against the body said grip extension prevents excess wrist movement when swung by the golfer to teach proper chipping technique.
