The most important part of any golfer's game is the ability to make putts accurately and consistently. Typically, original equipment manufactured grips need to be removed in a labor-intensive process, which is an expensive, time consuming, process which permanently alters the grip and the dynamics of the putter. An adjustable putter grip comprises a body is configured to fit over a conventional putter grip of a golf putter providing a larger outer diameter, the body comprises a first section and a second section. A locking mechanism holds the first section and the second section together, while a release mechanism is manually engageable for releasing the locking mechanism. A plurality of inserts spaced along the first section and/or the second section may be provided for frictionally engaging the conventional putter grip and holding the adjustable putter grip on the conventional putter grip.

A golf club grip may include a docking tube and an elongated handle. The docking tube may be configured to couple to a golf club shaft and may include a docking tube sidewall. The elongated handle may be detachably couplable to the docking tube. The elongated handle may include an elongated handle sidewall defining an axial opening configured to receive the docking tube. At least one of the docking tube sidewall and the elongated handle sidewall may include a projection and the other of the docking tube sidewall and the elongated handle sidewall may include a channel. The channel may be configured to receive the projection to prevent rotation of the elongated handle relative to the docking tube when the elongated handle is coupled to the docking tube.

Disclosed herein is an educational golf club comprising a shaft and a head, wherein the shaft has a weight increasing means disposed therein. The educational golf club according to the present invention is in a wide use since being adjusted in weight or length according to the user's height or age. Additionally, the educational golf club according to the present invention generates a hitting sound from the shaft realistically when the user hits the golf ball to arouse interest in golf.

A grip for a golf club includes a cylindrical portion into which a shaft is inserted; and an end cap portion. The cylindrical portion, on its outer surface, includes a minute projection region where a plurality of minute projections each of which has a maximum width of 0.2 mm or more and 1.2 mm or less are arranged at intervals of 0.05 mm or more and 0.7 mm or less. The minute projection region is disposed in a first region whose distance in an axial direction from a grip butt end is from 0 mm to 210 mm. Of the grip, a portion from the grip butt end up to 50 mm therefrom has a weight of 10 g or more, and the weight accounts for 39% or more of the whole weight of the grip.

Described herein is a system of golf clubs having shafts with ascending weights (shaft weights that increase as shaft lengths decrease). The system of golf clubs can be manufactured by implementing a method called “stepping”, which allows the system of golf clubs with ascending weights to be manufactured with reduced quantity of inventory.

Training equipment includes a hollow shaft having a sidewall defining an internal cavity and at least one polymer material filling at least a portion of the internal cavity. The polymer material may fill the entire internal cavity of the hollow shaft. The polymer material may be a visco-elastic polymer material or polyurethane. A spacer or a filler may fill at least a portion of the internal cavity. A method of making weighted training equipment with a hollow shaft having a sidewall defining an internal cavity may include injecting a curable composition into at least a portion of the internal cavity. The method may further include curing the curable composition into a polymer material.

A process for manufacturing a putter with a bi-material shaft is disclosed herein. The putter comprises a putter head, the bi-material shaft, a mass member and a grip. The bi-material shaft comprises a body with a tip end and a butt end. The body comprises a metal section extending from the tip end to a connection point, and a composite section extending from the butt end to the connection point. The mass member is positioned within an opening at the butt end of the shaft. Mass from the shaft is transferred to the club head and the mass member in the butt end of the shaft.

A weight system for a putter type golf club that creates a balance point close to a golfer's hands when the putter is used in a normal manner for execution of a putting stroke. The putter is formed of a putter head, an elongated, constant ¼ inch diameter solid metal shaft; and a weighted, cylindrical adapter attached to an upper section of the elongated shaft between an overlying golf grip and the shaft.
