A swing motion trainer used to simulate one or more sport swing movements includes a rod portion comprising a shaft with a grip. The swing motion trainer includes a resistance portion comprising an interchangeable mechanism at a distal end of the rod portion, the resistance portion includes an interchangeable mechanism at the distal end of the rod portion, wherein the interchangeable mechanism is configured to attach a removable resistance element to the distal end of the rod portion. The removable resistance element that is attachable to the distal end of the rod portion via the interchangeable mechanism. The removable resistance element provides a resistance to a swinging motion of the swing motion trainer.

A golf club has a first shaft coupled to a club head, a second shaft configured to slidably engage a portion of the first shaft, a grip coupled to the second shaft, and an adjustable length shaft assembly received by the second shaft and configured to allow a portion of the first shaft to slide in relation to the second shaft in a first configuration, and to restrict a portion of the first shaft from sliding in relation to the second shaft in a second configuration. The grip is restricted from rotation about the first shaft or the second shaft as the first shaft slides in relation to the second shaft.

A golf club comprises a tubular shaft and a weight member. The shaft has a first end having a first inner diameter and a second end on the opposite side thereof. The weight member is attached to the first end, and comprises an insertion portion disposed in the hollow of the shaft, an engaging portion engaged with the first end on the outside of the shaft, protrusions protruding radially from the insertion portion. Each protrusion has a tapered portion in which the radially outwardly protruding height from the insertion portion is decreased toward the second end. The length of each tapered portion is more than 50% of the maximum length of the protrusion, both measured in the shaft axial direction.

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.

Golf club shaft assemblies with removable counterbalance weights are disclosed herein. In each embodiment, a shaft sleeve is secured within a butt end of a shaft and a weight is removably affixed to the shaft sleeve via locking structures, magnets, and/or spring devices.

A golf Swing training device comprises a club member and at least one weight member. The weight member includes a mating Structure for Securing the weight member to a complementary mating Structure in the Shaft portion of the club member. The weight member can be secured to the shaft in at least three positions including a first position at the top of the Shaft adjacent the handle, a Second position at or near the midpoint of the Shaft and a third position at or near the distal end of the shaft.

An interchangeable and weight adjustable golf grip including at least an end cap body having integral receiving ports adapted to receive variable weights, electronic chips, sensors, gauges, lasers, cameras, or biometrics within and wherein the end cap is capable of housing the various weights, chips, sensors, etc. within the end cap so that a player can interchange the weights or sensors without removing the golf grip from the shaft in order to make adjustments and so that the player can play golf without removing any other portions of the grip. Further, the invention includes contemplation of a tip collette with integral receiving ports adapted to also harbor similar weights, or sensors, etc. Data from the sensors may be transmitted by Bluetooth transmission to a smartphone or a ball launch monitor system for analysis.
