Abstract: An extender is fixedly attached to the grip end of a golf club shaft to provide a shaft having a first predetermined length. The extender includes a plug inserted into the end of the shaft in co-axial alignment therewith and a grip portion secured on the plug to form an extension of the grip portion secured on the shaft. A similarly constructed second extender is adapted to replace the first extender to selectively change the length of the golf club shaft, e.g., from standard to oversized.
