A device for improving a golfer's swing, the device having a training handle for a golf club wherein the golf club has a longitudinal shaft having at its superior end a gripping area and at its inferior end a head, the training handle originating on or immediately inferior to the gripping area and extending perpendicularly from the longitudinal shaft, the handle being oriented such that it is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the golf club head.

1 . A device for improving a golfer's swing, the device comprising:
 a training handle for a golf club wherein the golf club comprises a longitudinal shaft having at its superior end a gripping area and at its inferior end a head, the training handle originating on or immediately inferior to the gripping area and extending perpendicularly from the longitudinal shaft, the handle being oriented such that it is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the golf club head.   
     
     
         2 . The handle of  claim 1  wherein the handle is of sufficient length to enable gripping by a human hand. 
     
     
         3 . The handle of  claim 1  wherein the handle is of diameter similar to that of the gripping area. 
     
     
         4 . The handle of  claim 1  wherein the handle is permanently constructed to the golf club. 
     
     
         5 . The handle of  claim 1  wherein the handle is removably mounted to the golf club. 
     
     
         6 . The handle of  claim 5  further having at one end a mounting means for mounting the handle to the golf club shaft. 
     
     
         7 . The handle of  claim 6  wherein the mounting means is a cylindrical sleeve at one end of the handle, wherein the sleeve further can be removably tightened on the golf club shaft. 
     
     
         8 . The handle of  claim 7  wherein the sleeve is removably tightened by at least one through hole, at least one bolt traversing through the holes and at least one nut. 
     
     
         9 . The handle of  claim 1  wherein the handle further comprises an exterior gripping material. 
     
     
         10 . A method for improving a golfer's swing, the method comprising:
 mounting a training handle on a golf club wherein the golf club comprises a longitudinal shaft having at its superior end a gripping area and at its inferior end a head, the training handle originating on or immediately inferior to the gripping area and extending perpendicularly from the longitudinal shaft, the handle being oriented such that it is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the golf club head.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the handle is of sufficient length to enable gripping by a human hand. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the handle is permanently constructed to the golf club. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the handle is removably mounted to the golf club. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the handle further comprises at one end a mounting means for mounting the handle to the golf club shaft. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  wherein the mounting means is a cylindrical sleeve at one end of the handle, wherein the sleeve further can be removably tightened on the golf club shaft. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15  wherein the sleeve is removably tightened by at least one through hole, at least one bolt traversing through the holes and at least one nut. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the handle is encircled with a gripping material. 
     
     
         18 . An improved training golf club, the golf club comprising a longitudinal shaft having at its superior end a gripping area and at its inferior end a head, the golf club further comprising a training handle originating on or immediately inferior to the gripping area and extending perpendicularly from the longitudinal shaft, the handle being oriented such that it is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the golf club head and the handle being of a length sufficient to enable gripping by a human hand.
