Hi folks.

I have invented a golf training aid which is currently published on Dragons Den web site (On line pitches) and is to be featured on BBC2 Oct 8.

If you have time can you take a look and maybe post a comment.

Cheers Johnny

A link would help Johnny!!!!

Johnny,

Had a look and it seems a great idea. Beats asking your pupil to present the club to you and pulling it to see what their Grip Pressure is. A couple of questions for you.

What price are you targeting for it?

What indication does it have for too much pressure?

Have you thought of combining it with a "Grip-rite (?)"

David,

Cost will be £14.99

Instructions tell user not to squeeze any harder as soon as there are no creases in the elasticated material. They also add that you would hold the club slightly firmer when playing from the rough.

The Grip-rite is constructed with too thick a rubber for it to work.

Cheers Johnny

Johnny,

Good luck with it, pity you couldn't put your Grip-Ezee into a Grip-rite. Now that would be a product.

Jonny -

I think Peter Jones (who plays golf pretty well himself) would ask the following Qs!

1) What makes this better than a tube of toothpaste (a common object that does the same thing for free)?

2) You can't use it whilst hitting balls so isnt it is a bit pointless? (Any professional would agree that most players grip it nice and loose until they actually swing at a ball)

3) Why have you valued your idea at over £160,000?

Well, I watched Dragons Den tonight and saw a quick mention and that was it. Didn't even get into 'The Den', something to do with being unsure of what investment was being asked for. Still, the idea got onto national TV and that is worth something.

So for the off post comment, did anyone see it last week when the shaft skins were on ?  I know a few guys bought those last year and the MD had posted on golfshake a few times.

 Johnny, I think it's a good idea as that's one point that I tend to forget about 'til the callouses on my hands remind me. Good luck with it anyway.
