| 20080227563 | Golf club grip - A novel golf club grip having a resilient, one-piece tapered body that can be easily and quickly adhesively bonded to the gripping extremity of the shaft of the golf club. The golf club grip uniquely includes an end cap that is constructed from graphite or like material that protects the golf club grip as a golf club is inserted into and removed from the golf bag and also functions to prevent damage to other golf clubs already within the bag. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080248892 | Putting Method And Apparatus - An improved putting method and apparatus include an improved putter and a swinging stance of specific features. The improved putter includes a putter head, a shaft and a handle. The putter head is attached to one end of the shaft and the handle is formed on the other end of the shaft. The handle includes a gripping portion, which is terminated with a substantially spherical ball. The elements of the swinging method include resting a back of one hand against a leg thigh; placing the substantially spherical ball into the palm of the one hand; grasping the spherical ball with the fingers and thumb of the one hand; grasping the gripping portion with the other hand; and retracing an arcuate path to strike the golf ball. Preferably, the one hand is closest to the target. The putter head is preferably swung parallel to the ground. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20090023512 | Golf club grip - The golf club grip includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion has a forward-facing aspect and a rearward-facing aspect, the forward-facing aspect preferably having a substantially arcuate contour. The forward-facing aspect is adapted to support the user's thumb during use. The rearward-facing aspect includes first and second surfaces joined together at a vertex, the first and second surfaces being acutely angled with respect to one another. The first and second surfaces are adapted for gripping by the user's fingers. The golf club grip has an axial bore formed therein, and the golf club grip is preferably symmetric about a plane of symmetry extending between the vertex and a central point of the forward-facing aspect. The axial receives the upper end of a golf club shaft. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090048036 | Grip Having A Varied Gripping Surface - The disclosure herein includes a grip for a golf club with a flexible tube and a layered sheet.

| 20090247315 | GOLF PUTTER CONSTRUCTION AND METHOD FOR USE THEREOF - A golf putter constriction and a method for using are presented. A defined gripping plane is positioned parallel to a general body position relative to a hip-plane, or shoulder-plane, and also generally parallel to the face of the club at a slight angle parallel to a shaft-angle. This constriction arrangement repositions the grip location and hence body and arm positioning for a user and creates a physiological bone alignment along one of the user's arms (left or right depending upon dominance swing), which allows an alternative rigid-arm swing through contact with the ball for improved ball-contact alignment. | 10-01-2009 |
