ABSTRACT:
The Golf Grip Seating Tool permits tapeless seating of a grip onto the shaft of a golf club by having the controllable application of compressed air expand the grip, as it is positioned onto the shaft of the golf club. The Golf Grip Seating Tool comprises an enclosing member having an axial bore with an open end and a closed end, a slot, and a convergent nozzle mounted medially in the closed end of the enclosing member. The open end of the grip goes over the open end of the golf club shaft and forms a seal to allow the compressed air applied via the nozzle in the enclosing member to expand the grip yet allow excess air to escape between the grip and the shaft as the grip controllably inflates at the distal end.
