Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a device that allows sportsmen to quickly and easily try out different grips on their club and purchase the desired configuration on the spot. This device helps them select the best grip for optimal performance. Additionally, it also prevents profit loss for manufacturers by ensuring that only their grips fit their clubs, which eliminates companies that make grip replacements.

Problems solved by technology

The swinging motion generated around a person's body creates centripetal forces, which could cause dislodgement of a shaft from a grip if proper resistance is not provided.
