  • Patent number: 7588500
    Abstract: A golf club swing weight apparatus. The apparatus has a first weight and a second weight each having a pair of apertures formed therein, and adapted to be secured against a club shaft of a golf club. A strap having a length sufficient to extend through the pairs of apertures, and around the first and second weights when the first and second weights are positioned adjacent one another on said club shaft, is used to secure the first and second weights to the club shaft. The strap may include a loop element affixed to a first end thereof, and a first hook and loop type fastener material at the first end. A second end of the strap may include a stop component fixedly secured to the strap. The stop prevents the second end from being completely pulled through said loop element. Thus, the weights may not be inadvertently separated from the strap while the apparatus is affixed to a club shaft and an individual is swinging the golf club.
