Abstract:
A length adjustment mechanism useful on sports and other working implements allows the length of an implement to be easily adjusted. In the case of golf clubs, the length adjustment mechanism includes a handle with a set of interior threads that engage a set of exterior threads formed on an upper end of the golf club shaft. The handle can be screwed down over the threads on the upper end of the shaft to adjust the length of the club. The handle is then fixed with respect to the shaft, and a grip is formed over the handle. The handle can be selectively repositioned along the shaft to alter the length of the club by freeing the handle, screwing it to a new position, and re-fixing the handle in the new position.
