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.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
