Abstract
A thumb alignment grip guide is provided for attachment to a golf club handle. The thumb guide acts as a stop or barrier for preventing movement of the golfer's thumb during the golf swing, and allows a golfer to correctly grip the handle at the proper angular location with the lower hand for an accurate golf swing to have the club face contact the ball at the proper angle. The golfer grabs the handle and aligns and presses his or her thumb of the lower hand on the grip against the thumb guide. In one embodiment, the thumb barrier can be pivoted out of the way against the handle or removed when not in use.
