Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system for golf club grips that allows golfers to easily change grips for different situations. This feature is especially useful for putter use, as golfers can test thicker or thinner grips. The system also allows golfers to try different combinations of grips, clubheads, and shafts. Additionally, the system allows consumers to quickly and easily purchase grips and clubheads that meet their requirements by simply interchanging different types and sizes. This allows golfers to complete their purchases quickly and easily.

Problems solved by technology

The swinging motion generated around a person's body creates centripetal forces, which could cause dislodgement of a shaft from a grip if proper resistance is not provided.
