Abstract: A golf swing training apparatus having a shaft with a longitudinal axis, a clubhead end, and a grip end; a split-handled grip affixed to the grip end which includes a fixed upper grip portion with an upper end and a lower end, and a slidable lower grip portion having an upper end and a lower end. The fixed upper grip portion is for holding with the non-dominant hand in the golf swing and the slidable lower grip portion is adapted for gripping with the dominant hand. A weighted mass is attached to the clubhead end of the shaft. A primary housing is affixed to the shaft between the grip and the mass on the clubhead end and includes at least one throughhole for removable insertion of either light emitting means or a swing weight. A first light emitting means is removably inserted into one of the throughholes in the primary housing for directing a first beam of light downwardly and parallel to the shaft.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for folding an adhesive face of tape upon itself and dispensing the folded tape is disclosed. Tape is dispensed from a roll, through a guiding collar having a curved space extending around and defined by a core mounted within a central opening of the guiding collar. As the tape exits the curved space, the tape is correspondingly curved in cross-section, with a portion of the sticky, adhesive face of the tape confronting another portion of the adhesive face. The correspondingly curved tape passes under an element for compressing or pinching the tape, which folds the tape upon itself and compresses the confronting portions of the sticky, adhesive face of the tape together. Rotation of the guiding collar varies the position of the curved space to permit adjustment of the fold width of the tape.
