Golf club and a grip for a golf club

Abstract

Examples of a golf club with weight counter balance means are described. The golf club comprises a grip with a weight port and a weight load configured to be removably inserted and secured into the weight port and a club head that has a weight recess and a weight insert configured to be removably inserted and secured into the weight recess. The weight load in the grip and the weight insert in the club head are counterbalanced and predetermined to fit user's parameters such that a same club can be fitted for different user or same user after progressing his/her skills by changing the grip weight and the club head weight.

         7 . The golf club of  claim 6 , wherein the at least two parallel circle lines being formed near the top end of the club grip forming a top distance control circle. 
     
     
         8 . The golf club of  claim 6  further comprising a bottom distance control circle comprising at least two parallel bottom circle lines formed around the circumference near the bottom end of the grip, the bottom circle lines being at a predetermined distance one from another, wherein the bottom circle lines being used for controlling the driving distance when a user uses a wedge golf club. 
     
     
         9 . The golf club of  claim 1  further comprising a direction alignment means comprising a first longitudinal line for a straight shots alignment, a second longitudinal line for a right to left directed shots and a third longitudinal line for a left to right directed shots, each of the longitudinal lines being parallel to each other, the first longitudinal line being positioned between and equidistant from the second and the third longitudinal lines, the longitudinal lines being formed at the face surface of the club grip and aligned with respect to the club head. 
     
     
         10 . The golf club of  claim 1 , wherein the weight recess in the club head having an entrance opening formed at a toe of the club head and extending from the toe toward a heel of the club head. 
     
     
         11 . The golf club of  claim 1 , wherein the weight recess is internally threaded and the weight insert has a threaded body for threadedly engaging the weight recess. 
     
     
         12 . The golf club of  claim 1 , wherein the weight recess is sized such that a weight insert with different weights can be fitted into the weight recess of the club head. 
     
     
         13 . A golf club grip configured to be mounted on a club shaft to form a handle of a golf club, the golf club grip comprising:
 a top end;   a bottom end;   a body having a gripping face surface and extending between the top end and the bottom end for golf club; and   distance control lines formed at the gripping face surface for controlling a driving distance of a user's shot, the distance control lines including at least two parallel circle lines formed around a circumference of the body, the at least two circle lines being at a predetermined distance one from another,   
       wherein the driving distance of the user's shot is controlled by controlling a position of a user's palm with respect to the distance control lines. 
     
     
         14 . The golf club grip of  claim 13 , wherein the at least two parallel circle lines being formed near the top end of the club grip forming a top distance control circle. 
     
     
         15 . The golf club grip of  claim 14 , further comprising a bottom distance control circle comprising at least two parallel bottom circle lines formed around the circumference near the bottom end of the club grip, the bottom circle lines being at a predetermined distance one from another, wherein the bottom circle lines being used for controlling the driving distance when a user uses a wedge golf club. 
     
     
         16 . The golf club grip of  claim 13 , wherein the at least two parallel circle lines being formed near the bottom end of the club grip forming a bottom distance control circle.
