Interesting Golf Club Grip Invention, But It Is Hard To Believe It Hasn’t Been Done Before

Ever wish you could easily turn your trusted loyal old putter into a face balanced putter? The invention that is disclosed in recently published patent application US Pub. No. 20090131194 titled “Weighted Golf Club Grips and Shafts” offers one way to achieve the goal. The application describes the invention as:

A weighted golf club grip for a golf club includes a hollow grip member that defines a first longitudinal channel for receiving a shaft and a second longitudinal channel disposed within a wall of the hollow grip member for receiving a plurality of weighted members disposed within the second channel. An end cap is attached to the end of the grip member. The weighted grip is capable of face-balancing the head of a putter and square-balancing the face of other golf clubs to an open, square, or closed position.

Good idea, but it seems like this has to have been done before.
