Single-handed golf swing apparatus
View Patent ↗The present invention is a mono-manual golf swing apparatus. More particularly, the apparatus is an accessory for a golf club which facilitates singular manual dexterous handling of a golf club and eliminates unintended slipping while swinging. Of further advantage, this apparatus may be easily removed, attached and detached single-handedly.
1. A single-handed golf swing apparatus, comprising:
a peg having a shaft with a first end and a second end,
a knob abutting and connecting with the second end of the peg; and
a saddle abutting and connecting with the first end of the peg, the saddle having a front edge, a midsection extending from the front edge to a rear edge, and at least one wing extending from the midsection normal to the first end of the shaft of the peg;
wherein a tip of at least one wing being capable of moving; and wherein the saddle is able to bend in at least one of from a flat planar orientation in the direction normal to the front edge to the rear edge direction to an orientation where the saddle curves to encompass at least 95 degrees of a first circumference of a first circle from a center of the first circle, or the saddle is able to bend in the direction normal to the front edge to the rear edge direction from a second curved orientation where the saddle curves to encompass an amount of a second circumference of a second circle from a center of the second circle to a third curved orientation where the saddle curves to encompass an amount of a third circumference of a third circle from a center of the third circle where the difference between the amount of the second circumference and the amount of the third circumference is at least 95 degrees.
2. The single-handed golf swing apparatus of claim 1 wherein the knob of the peg having a radius greater than a radius of the shaft of the peg; and the first end and the second end of the shaft have one of a chamfer, fillet, and bevel such that a concavity is formed along a front surface and a rear surface of the shaft, facing the front edge and the rear edge of the saddle, respectively.
3. The single-handed golf swing apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a margin having a surface with a smooth continuous curvature extending from an upper surface to a bottom surface.
4. The single-handed golf swing apparatus of claim 1 wherein the saddle having an upper surface having a plurality of microcavities capable of providing increased frictional interaction between the first layer and a user's hand.
5. The single-handed golf swing apparatus of claim 1 wherein the saddle having a bottom surface having a plurality of microcavities capable of providing increased frictional interaction between the bottom surface and a golf club.
6. The single-handed golf swing apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of channels along a surface of the saddle extending at an angle approaching normal to the front edge to the rear edge.
7. The single-handed golf swing apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first angle the saddle bends from the second curved orientation to the third curved orientation where the saddle curves to encompass 225 degrees of the third circumference of the third circle from the center of the third circle.
8. The single-handed golf swing apparatus of claim 1 wherein the knob extends from the saddle at a point which is half-way between the front edge and the rear edge of the saddle.
9. The single-handed golf swing apparatus of claim 1 wherein an overall length of the saddle extending from the front edge to the rear edge being between 4-6 cm.
10. The single-handed golf swing apparatus of claim 1 wherein a distance from the front edge of the saddle to the knob is at least 1.5 cm and a distance from the rear edge of the saddle to the knob is at least 1.5 cm.
11. The single-handed golf swing apparatus of claim 1 wherein an overall length of the knob being saddle being between 0.5 cm and 2 cm.
