Golf club and method of use thereof |
(57) An improved golf club is provided having a tubular shaft, a tubular grip at one end
of the shaft and a club head at the other end. The grip is a cylinder of substantially
uniform diameter, the diameter being equal to or greater than twice the diameter of
the shaft. The grip is of sufficient length so as to allow the user to grasp the grip
with both hands without overlapping. A set of golf clubs of the present invention
has its club heads lying at a uniform angle of between 60-65 relative to the shaft
so as to improve squaring of the club head relative to the ball when swinging. The
total weight of the club is approximately 10% greater than ordinary golf clubs. The
invention further includes a novel grip and method of use of the aforesaid club.
