ABSTRACT:
A grip extender for extending the length of a golf club to form a chip shot training club, wherein the golf club includes an elongated hollow tube handle defining a central axial aperture at a free end thereof opening into the interior of the tube handle along the central longitudinal axis thereof. The grip extender includes an elongated substantially hollow main body having a longitudinal axis, and an elongated rod mounted on and extending longitudinally axially from one end of the elongated main body. The rod is configured to define an initial straight length of rod and a subsequent plurality of reversing bends which are substantially symmetric relative to the central longitudinal axis of the hollow main body. The rod is insertable into the tube handle such that the reversing bends engage the tube at a plurality of longitudinally spaced locations on different sides thereof for positively supporting the grip extender on the golf club in continuous longitudinal axial alignment therewith. The grip extender main body has a plug-type connector at one end supporting the rod such that the rod extends from the main body along the central longitudinal axis of the tube handle when the extender is mounted on the golf club. The main body also has a length which extends upwardly from the free end of the club handle along the golfer's arm to approximately, but not exceeding, the position of the golfer's elbow when the golfer is conventionally gripping the golf club.
