Abstract
An apparatus for improving the dynamic response of a golf club by selectively weighting the grip end of the club. One embodiment comprises a cylindrical member having a lower base portion and an upper housing portion. The base is sized to be inserted into the grip end of a golf club shaft with the upper housing extending wholly or partially from the end of the shaft. The housing has a hollow, open chamber in which a weighted insert is inserted and removably secured. Another embodiment comprises upper and lower complimentary cylindrical wedges, each with a bore along its longitudinal axis, sized to be inserted into the grip end of a golf club shaft and secured by a screw extending through the longitudinal bores and threaded into a threaded insert located in a cavity in the lower wedge.
