Patent ID: 8540591

Claim:
A method of training a golfer to apply optimum grip squeeze pressure for maximum control of strokes comprising the steps of: providing a golf club having an elongated shaft, the elongated shaft having a proximal end to be grasped by a user; placing a grip consisting of expanded synthetic rubber cushioning and training apparatus over the proximal end of the shaft, the expanded synthetic rubber cushioning and training apparatus comprising a sheath configured to surround the proximal end of the shaft along a desired length to cushion the grip and train the user to apply with both hands optimum squeeze pressure for maximum control of strokes; wherein the cushioning apparatus further comprises an elongated inner wall comprising ringed protrusions embedded within said cushioning apparatus constructed of expanded synthetic rubber of a density predetermined by the manufacturer to require optimum squeeze pressure for maximum control of strokes be applied with both hands by the golfer in order to feel said ringed protrusions therein; and wherein the cushioning apparatus consists of expanded synthetic rubber construction consisting of adjustable pressure sensors at said ringed protrusions to signal when optimum squeeze pressure for maximum control of strokes is applied with both hands by the golfer.
