Golf Club Swing Aid and Method of Use

Abstract

Described is a golf club swing aid and method of use. The golf club includes an elongated shaft having a handle on a first end, and having a weighted attachment permanently secured to a second end. The weighted attachment is substantially cylindrical in shape and has a hollow bore at least partially therethrough and in which the second end of the elongated shaft is secured. Several golf club swing aids having weighted attachments of different weights can be used to help a golfer increase his or her swing speed. A first weighted attachment is the same weight as a traditional driver, a second weighted attachment is heavier than a traditional driver, and a third weighted attachment is lighter than a traditional driver. In this way, the golfer can practice swinging with golf club swing aids of different weight in order to improve his or her golf club swing speed.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 840,249 filed on Jun. 27, 2013, entitled “Power Golf System.” The above identified patent application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety to provide continuity of disclosure.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0022]Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf club swing aid that helps a user to increase his or her swing speed by allowing the user to practice swinging golf club swing aids having different weights.

[0023]Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a golf club swing aid that maintains the weight distribution of conventional golf clubs, wherein the majority of the weight of the club is disposed on the end of the shaft opposite the handle.

[0024]Still another object of the present invention is to provide a golf club swing aid that comprises a cylindrical weighted attachment on the end thereof that reduces drag, allowing a user to swing at an increased speed.

[0025]Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf club swing aid that may be readily fabricated from materials that permit relative economy and are commensurate with durability.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, Gutierrez fails to disclose a golf club swing aid having a weighted attachment secured on an end of the shaft, corresponding to the location of a club head on a traditional golf club.

Thus, Gagarin discloses a golf club swing aid, but does not disclose a device that has a rigid, elongated shaft.

The Gagarin device does not allow a user to swing a golf club in the traditional manner due to the flexible shaft.

Thus, Umazume does not disclose a golf club swing aid having a weighted attachment on an end thereof in place of a club head, and instead discloses a golf club having a shaft with a cross section adapted to improve the swing speed of the golf club.

Therefore, Allen does not disclose a golf club having a cylindrical weighted attachment secured at the end of the shaft in the location a club head is positioned on conventional golf clubs.

Thus, Anderson et al. does not provide a golf club having a weighted attachment on an end thereof, wherein the golf club swing aid is adapted to train a golfer to increase his or her swing speed.

Thus, Cadorniga does not disclose a weighted golf club that helps a user increase his or her swing speed.

Although the club is able to be swung faster, such clubs do not teach a golfer to increase his or her swing speed.

However, such devices arrange the weight along the shaft of the golf club, creating a substantially different weight distribution than is found in conventional golf clubs.

Thus, by training with such clubs, the golfer may unknowingly alter his or her stroke as result of the differing weight distribution of the training club.
