Maybe you are a genius inventor who will have the last laugh all the way to the bank. 

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

really doubt that...hell, I don't even take myself seriously.  awhile back I suggested taking a round tinker toy, sticking dowels in it to have an variable direction alignment rod and wouldn't you know it, I spied it on Amazon two weeks later.

This is all good creative thinking that comes out of the world's toughest sport to master. The only problem is you won't get rich off of specialized golf equipment.

haha..doesn't stop some of the on line marketeers from trying......That is mostly why I try to come up with my home made attempts. Many of the things I see are going for $20 and much higher, for something that can be made for under $5.  If I were serious about it, I might entertain the idea of applying for patents, but I've neither time,money, or inclination to do so.  I sometimes share an idea with an on-line pro who I am in frequent contact with, and if he wanted to take the idea and go commercial with it, no problem and more power to him/her. A few of mine were very well received, others not so much and bordering on the ridiculous.

Standard Pool Noodles are 2 inches outside diameter not 3.5 inches (those are called Jumbo). Google it.

Uhhh… since you're gonna be a jerk about it…

3.25" - https://www.target.com/p/swimways-super-swim-noodles/-/A-14776418#lnk=sametab

2.5" - http://amzn.to/2guGxXv

2.25" - http://amzn.to/2ganvsb

Hell, Googling "diameter of standard pool noodle" says:

Quote

Pool noodles are useful when learning to swim, for floating, for rescue reaching, in various forms of water play, and for aquatic exercise. The most common dimensions are about 160 centimetres (63 in) in length and 7 centimetres (2.8 in) in diameter.

It links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pool_noodle.

I found 4" pool noodles, 3.5" noodles, and just about every size in between 1.5" and 5". So what's that say? That pool noodles don't really have a "standard" size.

I said 3.5" because that's the first one I found, and what we have downtown for our instruction.

Not much larger (if at all) than Putter Fat Grips

The SuperStroke "Fatso 5.0" is 1.67". 2.8" is quite a bit thicker than 1.67".

Decide for yourself whether the application is for you, if not, then don't. Otherwise, maybe divert your attention on whether or not to drape a towel across your golf bag, all the while describing the dimensions, thread quality, nap, and important stuff like that.

Meanwhile, wait breathlessly for my latest nonsensical, incarnation deserving of your meticulous scrutiny.

Post stupid stuff, get replies telling you it's stupid.

Mostly I tend to ignore your stupid stuff. Nobody's going to ****ing put a pool noodle over their grip. This "application" is not for anyone.
