Abstract

Der Golfschläger hat einen Griff (1), einen Schaft (2) und einen Schlägerkopf. Damit sich ungewollte, ruckartige Muskelzuckungen beim Putten nicht nachteilig auswirken, weist der Griff (1) wenigstens zwei Griffteile (1a, 1 b) auf, von denen der eine Griffteil (1 b) begrenzt gegenüber dem anderen Griffteil (1a) und dem Schaft (2) um die Schaftachse tordierbar ist. Dadurch wirken sich die ungewollten Muskelbewegungen nicht auf die Genauigkeit beim Putten aus. Die Muskelzuckungen werden durch entsprechendes begrenztes Tordieren des Griffteiles (1 b) abgefangen.

Figure imgaf001
The golf club has a handle (1), a shaft (2) and a club head. So that unwanted, jerky muscle twitches do not adversely affect putting, the handle (1) has at least two grip parts (1a, 1b), of which one grip part (1b) is limited relative to the other grip part (1a) and the shaft (FIG. 2) is twistable about the shaft axis. As a result, the unwanted muscle movements do not affect the accuracy of putting. The muscle twitches are intercepted by appropriate limited twisting of the handle part (1 b).
