  • Patent number: 4213614
    Abstract: Combination weight attachment and golf club head cover for increasing the weight of the club head during practice strokes, thereby adjusting the added weight to suit the physical capability of the user. The cover consists of an upper compartment comprising a bag with a zipper closure designed to rest on the upper surface of the club head, and an open lower compartment which snugly accommodates the club head. The upper end of the cover depends from a semiannular collar including an opening constructed for slip-on engagement with the shank of the club just above the head, for holding the cover in place during the swing. Lead pellets or other weighted materials are enclosed in the zippered bag to provide means for adjusting the attached weight to individual taste.
