ABSTRACT:
An innovative teaching process for instruction of the proper placement of the hands on the grip of a golf club using a sequence of golf grips of increasingly greater numbers of flat, longitudinal surfaces incorporates successively less detectable, yet consistently located tactile feedback producing ribs on the golf grip. Teaching starts with a maximum biomechanical feedback grip with ribs that are pronounced. As the golfer develops sufficient proficiency with locating the hands on the grip and maintaining this proper hand positioning through the swing, the maximum biomechanical feedback grip is replaced with a new grip with less pronounced ribs, typically, with the same spacing as the first used grip. This process is repeated until the golfer has advanced from a maximum feedback grip to a minimum biomechanical feedback grip, i.e., to a substantially circular grip as accepted for USGA golf play. In one form, the grip, generally circular in nature, has from five to nine internal ribs. These multiple ribs extend along the axis of the grip from one end to the other so as to substantially cover the grip. The ribs serve as a biomechanical feedback mechanism to calibrate the golfer's presentation of the club face to the ball at impact and the multiple ribs serve to sufficiently improve the grip on the club during the swing, thereby sustaining the calibrated presentation of the club face during contact with the ball.
