AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an instructional golf club for users with a swing orientation that helps improve their golf swing. The golf club has a grip with two portions for the user's hands, which are separated along the grip. This separation helps create a better swing and reduces the likelihood of hitting the ball with the wrong hand. Additionally, the club has a level indicator that indicates when the shaft is parallel to the ground, which provides further guidance for the user during the swing. The invention also includes a method of adjusting the user's swing by swinging the golf club with both hands on different parts of the grip. Overall, this invention provides a more effective and precise way to hit the golf ball with a proper swing.

Problems solved by technology

Virtually every golfer regardless of age or skill level that has worked on their golf swing by taking lessons or on their own eventually ingrains in their golf swing the same bad habits and shows little to no ultimate improvement on the golf course.

Unless one is a professional golfer and therefore has endless time to commit to working on or improving their golf swing, very few players have the time and / or the correct tools to improve their game significantly.

Accordingly, it can be difficult to develop a universal tool capable of helping the user regardless of body type, swing, etc. to unlearn the bad habits developed over time.

As a result, unless one is a professional golfer, what the golf swing feels like on the practice range is not matched with what it actually is doing on the golf course.
