DRIVING SPUR FOR GOLF CLUBS Fil ed May 22, 1950 In 6 5101 w/zm/v .ZJd/MZLZ By I 1 I Patented Apr. 19, 1932 UNITED S 'lATES PATENT OFFICE WILLIAM J. CONNELL, OI ROCHESTER, NEW YORK mtwme srua iron com eLuBs Application filed Kay 22, 1930. Serial No. 454,686.
The object of this invention is to provide a new attachment for golf sticks or clubs which enables the player to hold the club claims at the end thereof.
In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of'a portion of the handle of a golf club provided with mv improved attachment with the right hand of the player shown grasping the club.

igure 4 is a side elevation of a portion of the handle of the club equipped with my improved attachment and viewed from the rear 5 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is a side elevation of a portion of the handle of the golf club viewed from the left of Figure 2. 4
In the drawings like reference numerals indicate like parts.
In the drawings reference numeral 1 indicates the handle of the golf club and 2 indicates the attachment or driving spur which embodies my lnvention. This attachment has a seat 3 therein which is semi-cylindrical, or is somewhat more than semi-cylindrical in that it engages half way around, or a little more than half way around the handle of the golf club. This attachment is placed on the golf stick at its thinnest part and is moved endwise along the stick to the thick part of the stick where the seat of the attachment firmly engages with the stick and holds it in place. The attachment is provided with screw holes through which screws or rivets 4 and 5 extend by which it is firmly attached to the handle of the golf club.
This attachment is preferably made of golf club and to become integral therewith. t is also made" to give-the thumb and forefinger a better grip on the handle of the club than would'be possible without it so as to increase the hearing which the lower hand has on the club. For this purpose one side of the attachment is provided with a spur 9 on one side of which is a flat side wall 6 which is approximately tan ential with the handle of the club. Exten ing diagonally or spirally across the attachment is a groove 7 on one side of which is the tapering wall 8, which rises to the peak of the spur 9, and then tapers off again radially and ends in an elevationor projection 10. On the other side of the groove 7 is provided an elevation 11 between which elevation 11. and the spur 9, the groove 7 is located.
As shown in Figure 1, the players hand grasps the handle of the club and the thumb normally rests in the groove 7 with theedge of the palm and a part of the forefinger resting against the tangential wall 6 with the spur between them. The end of the forefinger engages in the hollow' portion 12 between the elevation 11 and 10. Between the thumb and the palm, the club is grasped with a leverage due to the projection of the spur 9 indicated at Figure 5, which enables the player to hold the club just that much more firmly so that the club and its head is always held correctly in position for the stroke, and so that at the time of impact with the ball the head of the club cannot turn sideways and foul the stroke and drive the ball incorrectly, but instead the head of the club will keep its correct position and'communicate the full energy of the stroke to the ball thus securing accurate driving for the longest possible shot.
I claim:
1. An attachment for the handle of a golf stick comprising a seat that is adapted to surround more than half the handle of the golf stick, a spur on said attachment having one side thereof extending along the handle and substantially tangential to the handle, a groove extending diagonally or spirally around the attachment on the other side of said spur.
