Abstract

A two handed grip of a golf club; wherein the hand furthest from the golf club head grips the golf club shaft in a conventional manner and the hand that is closest to the golf club head grips the golf club shaft with four fingers, not including the index finger, in a conventional manner, and wherein the index finger of the hand closest to the club head is disposed longitudinally along the golf club shaft in substantial alignment with the axis of the shaft. The pinky finger of the hand closest to the club head may be interlocked with the index finger of the hand furthest from the club head.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A two handed golf club grip on a golf club, wherein the golf club comprises a shaft, a club head with a club face, and a grip surrounding a portion of said shaft remote from said club head, wherein said grip comprises all of the fingers of a hand that is furthest from the club head wrapped around the club grip, four fingers, other than the index finger, of the hand that is nearer the club head wrapped around the club grip; wherein the index finger of the hand that is closest to the club head is stretchingly disposed on said grip and positioned longitudinally of the club shaft; whereby the effective length of contact between said hands and said grip is increased as compared to the length of contact between hands and club grip whereby making it easier to control the direction and carry of a hit ball.
