Golf club grip pressure feedback device and method of use

Abstract

Devices and methods directed to golf training devices for providing feedback to the user on the grip pressure exerted on the golf club grip. In embodiments, the device is comprised of a grip configured to be coupled with the end portion of a golf club shaft. The grip is also comprised of at least one fluid reservoir portion, at least one fluid channel portion, fluid, and at least one feedback indicator portion. The fluid reservoir portions, in embodiments, are positioned within the grip. In other embodiments, the fluid reservoir portions are positioned on the inside surface of the grip between the grip and the golf shaft. In yet other embodiments, the fluid reservoir portions are positioned on the outside surface of the grip. The fluid reservoir portions are connected to at least one fluid channel portion. The fluid channel portions are connected to at least one feedback indicator portion.

         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said fluid reservoir portions are positioned within the grip. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said fluid reservoir portions are positioned on the inside surface of the grip. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said fluid reservoir portions are positioned on the outside surface of the grip. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said fluid is air. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said fluid is a liquid. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said fluid is water. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said fluid channel portions are at least two connected in series to one said feedback indicator portion. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein said fluid channel portions are at least two connected in series to one said feedback indicator portion. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein said fluid channel portions are at least two connected in series to one said feedback indicator portion. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein said fluid channel portions are at least two connected in series to one said feedback indicator portion. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said fluid channel portions are at least two connected in parallel to individual said feedback indicator portions. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein said fluid channel portions are at least two connected in parallel to individual said feedback indicator portions. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein said fluid channel portions are at least two connected in parallel to individual said feedback indicator portions. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein said fluid channel portions are at least two connected in parallel to individual said feedback indicator portions. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said fluid channel portions are connected in series and parallel to said feedback indicator portions. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein said fluid channel portions are connected in series and parallel to said feedback indicator portions. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein said fluid channel portions are connected in series and parallel to said feedback indicator portions. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein said fluid channel portions are connected in series and parallel to said feedback indicator portions. 
     
     
         20 . A golf club grip pressure feedback device comprising:
 a grip configured to be coupled with the end portion of a golf club shaft;   said grip comprising
 at least one fluid reservoir portion; 
 at least one fluid channel portion; 
 wherein said fluid channel portions are connected to at least one said fluid channel portion; 
 fluid; 
 at least one feedback indicator portion; 
 wherein said fluid channel portions are connected to at least one feedback indicator portion; 
   wherein said feedback indicator portion is positioned on the top of said grip;   wherein said fluid reservoir portions are positioned within the grip; and   wherein said fluid channel portions are connected in series and parallel to said feedback indicator portions.
