ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for weighting of golf club handles that basically includes three components, namely, a sleeved receptacle, a weighted rod, and an adhesive. The sleeve is radially resiliently compressible and resiliently compressibly slidably fits inside of the shaft of a golf club at its upper end and resiliently compressibly slidably receives the weighted rod. The adhesive secures the receptacle-rod combination together and in the shaft. More specifically, the receptacle and the adhesive hold the weight centrally in the shaft and cushion it against vibration caused by forces traveling along the shaft when a golf ball is struck. The adhesive is initially placed in the receptacle and the rod is inserted into the receptacle immersing it in adhesive and forcing adhesive out through perforations in the receptacle to coat the exterior of the receptacle. When the receptacle-rod combination is in the golf shaft, outflow of the adhesive also coats the inside of the shaft so that the entire device is firmly held in position in the shaft. The method and apparatus are adaptable to commonly used golf clubs and are adjustable to the needs of individual golfers in that main and auxiliary rods of various weights are used. Tests have shown that a player obtains a better feel of the club, improves control without losing distance, and in fact may gain distance.
