  • Patent number: 6568085
    Abstract: An apparatus for removing golf club grips. The apparatus (10) includes a body (12) with an integral handle (14). The body further includes a shaft guide (16) with concave portions (18) and (20) for guiding the apparatus along the shaft of the golf club. The apparatus includes a pair of brackets (26) and (28) that are operative to releasably and adjustably hold inwardly curved blades (30) and (32). The apparatus is used to remove golf grips by placing the end of the golf club on the ground. The shaft of the club may then be placed adjacent the concave portions of the shaft guide. By pushing the apparatus along the club shaft the blades are operative to create two parallel slices in the grip along the club shaft. The cut out portion of the grip between the parallel slices is directed away from the shaft by a ramp (56).
