Single-arm golf club
View Patent ↗A golf club includes a shaft with a length, a distal end, and a proximal end separated from the distal end by the length. A hand grip is disposed along the length and an arm-securing attachment is coupled to the proximal end of the shaft and has a substantially spiral-shape with a spiral direction away from the proximal end of the shaft. A club face is coupled to the distal end of the shaft.
1. A golf club comprising:
a grip portion having a distal end and a proximal end opposite the distal end;
a club head mechanically coupled to the distal end of the grip portion;
an arm-securing portion mechanically coupled with the proximal end of the grip portion and having a substantially spiral-shape with a spiral direction away from the grip portion the arm-securing portion comprising:
a proximal end;
a distal end opposite the proximal end and adjacent the grip portion; and
a generally increasing width running from the distal end to the proximal end, the generally increasing width measured in a dimension parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft; and
a shaft connecting the grip portion to the arm-securing portion, wherein the shaft has a longitudinal axis.
2. The golf club according to claim 1 , wherein the arm-securing portion is removably attached to the shaft.
3. The golf club according to claim 1 , wherein the club head has a shape of a putter.
4. The golf club according to claim 1 , wherein the arm-securing portion comprises:
an outwardly spiraling shape with a generally increasing spiral diameter.
5. The golf club according to claim 1 , wherein the grip portion is shaped as a negative mold of a hand.
6. The golf club according to claim 1 , wherein:
the grip portion has a longitudinal grip axis at a non-zero angle with respect to the longitudinal axis.
7. The golf club according to claim 1 , further comprising:
means for incrementally adjusting a distance between the arm-securing portion and the grip portion.
8. The golf club according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a distance adjustment device having at least one incremental adjustment to change a distance between the arm-securing portion and the grip portion.
9. A golf club comprising:
a shaft having:
an extent;
a distal end; and
a proximal end separated from the distal end by the extent;
a hand grip disposed along the extent;
an arm-securing attachment coupled to the proximal end and having a substantially spiral-shape with a spiral direction extending away from the proximal end, the arm-securing attachment comprising:
a proximal end;
a distal end opposite the proximal end of the arm-securing attachment and coupled to the proximal end of the shaft; and
a width increasing from the distal end of the arm-securing attachment to the proximal end of the arm-securing attachment, an increase of the width measured in a dimension parallel to the extent of the shaft; and
a club face coupled to the distal end.
10. The golf club according to claim 9 , wherein the arm-securing attachment comprises:
a length having an outwardly spiraling shape with an increasing spiral diameter.
11. The golf club according to claim 9 , wherein the hand grip is shaped as a negative mold of a hand.
12. The golf club according to claim 9 , wherein the club face is a shape of a putter.
13. The golf club according to claim 9 , wherein the arm-securing attachment is removably attached to the shaft.
14. The golf club according to claim 9 , further comprising:
means for incrementally adjusting a distance between the arm-securing attachment and the hand grip.
15. The golf club according to claim 9 , further comprising:
a distance adjustment device having at least one incremental adjustment to change a distance between the arm-securing attachment and the hand grip.
16. The golf club according to claim 9 , wherein the hand grip is integral with the shaft.
