  • Patent number: 9089754
    Abstract: A golf swing/putting trainer includes a support member including a body shaped like a plate or shaft and having a supporting wall for stopping against the user's body, and a handle including a shaft connected at one end thereof to the center of the body of the support member and having a handhold portion for holding by the user's both hands. Thus, the user can hold the handle with the two hands to abut the supporting wall of the support member against the abdomen, and then twist the waist to practice the backswing and swing actions. Alternatively, the user can hold the handle with the two hands and attach the two lower arms to the two bearing portions of the support member to practice the putting action.

  • Publication number: 20140066221
    Abstract: A hand grip sleeve for wrapping about a grip of a golf putter includes a flexible sleeve defining a sleeve hole extending from the front end to the rear end and a longitudinal opening cut through the peripheral wall, and a fastener provided at the flexible sleeve at two opposite sides of the longitudinal opening and operable to open or close the longitudinal opening. The fastener may be a hook and loop fastener, a zipper or snaps. Thus, the hand grip sleeve can be directly and conveniently attached to the grip of a golf putter to increase the diameter of the grip area of the golf putter for gripping tightly and comfortably. By means of the design of the longitudinal opening and the fastener, a user can easily install the hand grip sleeve on the grip of a golf putter.
