7416492 - Golf clubface swing trainer

The Golf Clubface Swing Trainer is a dedicated practice golf club designed exclusively to aid golfers understand and correct flaws in the concept of the clubface by helping them recognize what an open, closed and square clubface is at any point in the swing. Additionally, it is deigned to help golfers stretch, develop, and strengthen his or her muscles by swinging the trainer, which is weighted and balanced to achieve that purpose. The Golf Clubface Swing Trainer accomplishes these objectives by use of a weighted, rectangular cross section block shaped clubface orientation aid integral to and concentrically located between the grip and the shaft. The clubface orientation aid incorporates contrasting colors, lettering and indicia, all clearly visible to the golfer during the entire practice swing process, from address, backswing, downswing and follow-through, thus allowing him or her to make the necessary adjustments and corrections. As a further aid for golfers, the Golf Clubface Swing Trainer incorporates a colored grip designed to provide instruction on the proper positioning of the hands during the swing process.

7415867 - Golf shaft and club flex neutralization/matching and method for manufacturing same

In accordance with the present invention, this method encompasses a shaft with a neutral flex point mark and identification mark/sticker of quantitative characteristics that has been achieved by deflecting a shaft, at its tip, a specific distance while resting in a free floating position. Shafts are then sorted by the quantitative measurement of its propensity to bend(flex weight) into sets of shafts to be assembled into golf clubs by aligning the neutral flex point mark on the golf shaft to the neutral point mark on a golf club head.
