Abstract:
1. A golf club swing weight apparatus comprising: a weight having an aperture formed therein; a strap having a length sufficient to extend through the aperture, around the weight and around a club shaft of a golf club so that the strap secures the weight to the club shaft; said strap including a loop element affixed to a first end thereof, and a first hook and loop type fastener material at said first end, a second end of said strap including a safety stop component fixedly secured to said strap, said safety stop component having dimensions such that said safety stop component prevents said second end from being completely pulled through said loop element; and said second end including a second hook and loop type fastener material secured at said second end that is engageable with said first hook and loop type fastener material; and wherein when said first and second hook and loop type fastener materials are engaged around said weight and said club shaft, said weight is securely held to said club shaft, and said safety stop component and said loop element cooperatively prevent said weight and said strap from being inadvertently released from said club shaft while swinging said golf club, and said safety stop component prevents the second end of the strap from being drawn through the loon element even if the first hook and loop type fastener material loop becomes detached from the second hook and loop type fastener material while swinging the golf club, to thus prevent releasing said weight from said club shaft while swinging the golf club.
