AI Technical Summary
Existing golf clubs with eccentric centers of gravity due to the head attachment make it difficult to control and swing accurately, necessitating additional short clubs for practice, which are costly and cumbersome to carry.
A removable grip with two sliding parts is attached to the golf club shaft, positioned towards the handle, allowing adjustment and easier control of the center of gravity, and includes a plastic material with rubber cushioning for stability.
Enables precise control of the club's center of gravity, facilitating correct swinging practice without altering the shaft length, and absorbs external forces for a stable grip.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a club for use in golf. [Background technology]
[0002] In golf, a club is used to hit a ball. The characteristics of the club affect the accuracy of the ball's flight distance and flight direction. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] JP 2023-121592 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] The patent documents disclose fitting devices for golf club shafts. However, it is unclear how the shaft should be configured to improve the flying distance and practice effect. Therefore, in this invention, the shaft configuration is clarified.
[0005] Unlike bats and tennis rackets, the center of gravity of a golf club is not located on the extension line of the shaft. Because the head is attached to the side of the shaft, the center of gravity is off-center, which makes it difficult to swing a golf club. The objective of this invention is to make it easier to control the club without changing the length of the club shaft. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] Golf clubs have long shafts and an unbalanced center of gravity, making it difficult to control the ball. For this reason, there is a practice method of hitting the ball with a club that is shorter than a normal golf club. In this case, it is necessary to have an additional short club, which requires additional costs and is cumbersome to carry around. In this invention, a removable grip is attached to the middle of a normal length club. This grip is made up of two members that slide against each other. By holding the grip in the hand and swinging the golf club, it is easy to control the center of gravity and the correct way to swing the club can be easily mastered. When playing golf, the grip can be removed. Effect of the Invention
[0007] The detachable practice grip of this invention is attached to the shaft of a golf club, and the attachment position is from the center of gravity of the club toward the handle of the golf club. The attachment position on the shaft can be fine-tuned depending on the user's physique. It also has flexibility to cushion external forces. [Brief description of the drawings]
[0008] [Figure 1] 1 is a diagram showing a detachable practice grip of the present invention. FIG. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the disassembled state when attaching the detachable practice grip of the present invention. [Diagram 3] 1 is a diagram showing the state in which the detachable practice grip of the present invention is attached to the shaft of a golf club. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0009] A grip consisting of two parts that slide against each other is attached to the shaft. The grip is attached starting from the golf club's center of gravity in the direction of the handle. When swinging the club with this grip, the distance from the golf club head to the grip is shorter than with a normal golf club, making it possible to adjust the length of the shaft. This makes it easier to control the center of gravity and makes it easy to learn the correct way to swing the club. The grip is made of plastic with rubber cushioning on the inside and outside. This allows it to absorb any external force acting on the grip. EXAMPLES
[0010] A golf club is provided with a shaft 1 and a head 2. A detachable practice grip 3 of the present invention is attached to this. The grip 3 is attached to the center of the golf club. Since it can be gripped close to the center of gravity of the club, it becomes easier to operate.
[0011] This eliminates the problem of uneven center of gravity without changing the length of the shaft, allowing for comfortable practice. Also, the position at which the grip is attached can be adjusted according to the user's physique.
[0012] If the grip 3 is made of plastic and rubber cushioning is added inside and outside, it will absorb fluctuations caused by external forces, resulting in a stable grip and club. [Explanation of symbols]
