Hello my name is Gerald Basden and I am the inventor of the "Eagle Claw", a Patented device developed to strengthen the golf grip for a more consistent ball striking swing. The idea came to me one day when I was experimenting with different golf grips in order to straighten out my golf shot. I discovered a golf grip that worked, but due to the required pressure I had to maintain in the back swing and in the follow through, I strained my thumb. It was then that I decided to invent a device that could do the following: Support my strained thumb. Allow me to increase the pressure in my golf grip. Allow me to maintain the pressure in my golf grip through out my golf swing. Straighten out my golf shot. Allow me to keep playing a great deal of golf!!! The Eagle Claw concept and protype was developed about 10 years ago and went into mass production 2 years ago so that others like me could benefit from this uinque device and strengthen their golf grip and develop more consistent swings. The "Eagle Claw" is an enhancement to a golfer’s natural golf grip and golf swing. It offers additional support for individuals who are disabled, physically impaired or injured, who have arthritis (or other disorder) and who also struggle with gripping, holding, and swinging a golf club throughout the entire golf swing, yet still wish to experience the joy of a pain-free round of golf.
