Weighted Golf Club Training Device

Abstract

A golf club training device is provided for strengthening the wrists of a player and thereby increasing the speed of his or her golf swing. The device comprises a club shaft, a handle and a club head. The club shaft is shorter than a standard golf club to permit use of the device in areas where a full-size club would be impossible. A standard golf club handle is disposed the club shaft upper end such that a user may utilize the same grip on the device as he or she would use on a standard club. The head of the club is removably secured to a lower end of the club, allowing club head replacement with differing weight to promote strength training of a user's wrists and arms. Repeated use of the device with increasing weight results in stronger wrist muscles, thereby providing greater swing control and club head speed.
