rules help

Is it against the rules to put a weighted swing sock on your club in the fairway and take pratice swings then remove the sock and hit your second shot?

I would say it is not allowed because the weighted sock is also considered a training aid which is not allowed during play.

Thats what I think, but can't find anything in the rules book.

Here you go...

Q. During a round, may a player make a stroke or a practice swing using a club with a weighted headcover or “donut” on it, or use any other device designed as a training or swing aid?

A. No — but see also Decision 4-4a/7 for the use of a weighted training club. (Revised)
