Not mine. This is a copy of the Star Grip model. The "grip cap" part will make it hard to remove some grips especially putter grips. The tube is not the same clear lexan one I provide and will not be as strong. Mine requires you the provide the blow gun which adds $3 - $6 but including that m

Wiffle balls are OK. You could also build the club with a larger diameter (suitable for gripping) round steel rod and turn down the hosel area to fit the club head.
