Hand device to aid in stable grip of a golf club

Abstract

A hand device described to stabilize the handle of a golf club in a golfer's grip throughout the golfer's swing. The device creates a stabilizing connection of the thumb and index finger of the user's dominant hand. The connecting area of the device, which anchors the thumb and index finger of the user's dominant hand together, stabilizes the club handle in the user's dominant hand allowing a more controlled grip, while allowing as much of the user's dominant hand surface to be in contact with the club handle as possible. The device can be used in training or actual play to provide a stable grip on the golf club handle when used with varying grip styles and grip pressure.

1 . A device to be worn on the dominant hand of the golfer to aid in stabilizing the golf club handle in a golfer's dominant hand throughout the golf swing and contact with the ball, contact with the ground, or contact with both. When properly placed at the base of the index finger and thumb of the user's dominant hand, the device holds the user's index finger and thumb in a pinched position. The connecting area of the device forms a “web” or “guide wall” between the index finger and thumb of the user's dominant hand, which receives the handle of the club, holding it firmly in the golfer's desired grip position, throughout the golfer's swing. The minimal size of the present device performs as stated while allowing the maximum amount of the surface area of the user's dominant hand to be in contact with the club handle, perpetuating more control over the golfer's swing. The device performs as stated with varying degrees of grip pressure and varying grip styles. The device is comprised of:
 A band made of a sturdy yet flexible material, stitched or fashioned in such a way to form two closely connected loops which fit snugly over the index finger and thumb of the user's dominant hand.
