Just wanted to trow out this idea. Instead of buying the training club would you guys consider allowing anyone who is interested to send in there own clubs and have you guys put the grip or grips on. This would allow you to play and practice with your own equipment. please reply
Thank You! |

What do you mean by line item 4? "The painting on the training club is set to help you get appropriate distance from the ball"
I don't recall every hearing about that aspect before. |

There are quite a few issues here -
1. The training grip (due to the amount of rubber) is considerably heavier than a normal grip - that is why the training club head is heavier to match the grip - meaning the swing weight and balance point of the club are set properly. If you put the training grip on a normal club, would loose the swing weight and balance point of club would be thrown way off. Meaning, you would loose a lot of feel, etc.. with the normal club, etc..
2. The training club is longer - because the training grip is longer - the grip is set up to accomodate 10 finger and overlapping grips - both. The grip is too long for a normal club - that is why the training club is longer - to make up for the longer grip.
3. As Kevin said - not USGA conformed. No, doesn't matter is just wanting to us to train - as with training club...
4. The painting on the training club is set to help you get appropriate distance from the ball, etc.. It is all set up as a system.

Clubs with molded grips are non-conforming under the rules, so you couldn't use them in a round you intended to post, FWIW. |
