  • Patent number: 5524892
    Abstract: A dual purpose training device for use with a golf club includes a base member having an inner concave side for releasable attachment to a golf club handle and an outer contoured side configured to guide a user's hands and fingers about the base member and handle in a predetermined manner to achieve a desired grip. A riser defined by a hollow tubular elongate member having a metal ball movably contained therein is releasably attachable to the base member so that it extends in substantially perpendicular relation to the base member, the ball striking opposite ends of the tubular member at predetermined positions throughout a proper golf swing to audibly indicate proper alignment and orientation of the golf club and hands, at various positions of the swing. The base member can be used independently as a grip teaching aid or in combination with the tubular member to also practice and develop a proper golf swing.
