Appl. No.:

12/768663

Inventors:

Larry M. Wise - Center Valley PA, US
Glenn Orem - Hockessin DE, US
Paola Versano-Bendinelli - Broomall PA, US

International Classification:

A63B 69/36
A63B 53/14
A41D 19/00

US Classification:

473205, 473409, 21612

Abstract:

The present device relates to an apparatus and a method for allowing a golfer to properly grip a golf club. A proper grip is one that allows for the most efficient radial deviation (abduction) and ulnar deviation (adduction) as well as flexion and extension of the wrist of the golfer's upper hand, while also minimizing club head and shaft axis rotation during a golf swing. This grip can be achieved through the use of a marking system comprising the golfer's glove and the grip of the golf club. By matching one or more markings on the glove, placed in specific locations on its anterior, with one or more markings located on specific positions on a golf club grip, the proper location of the golfer's upper hand can be found and the proper grip can then be made.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for providing a golfer with a set of clubs that are each configured to match the golfer's specific hand height. A measuring club can be used to measure the golfer's hand height, which can then be adjusted (decreased by a constant amount) to account for bending at the pelvic waist. Any number and type of golf clubs can then be made for the golfer by determining a lie angle and club length that all match the adjusted hand height. Sets of clubs, each set configured for a particular adjusted hand height, can also be stocked by a store and sold to a customer (golfer), the golfer receiving a set that matches his/her adjusted hand height. In this manner, the golfer can use all of these constant hand height clubs without having to change his or her stance for each of the clubs since the clubs are all configured to match the hand height of the golfer.
