Rule 14-3 says no, you can't.
14-3. Artificial Devices, Unusual Equipment and Unusual Use of Equipment
Except as provided in the Rules, during a stipulated round the player must not use any artificial device or unusual equipment, or use any equipment in an unusual manner:
a. That might assist him in making a stroke or in his play...
Exceptions:
1. A player is not in breach of this Rule if (a) the equipment or device is designed for or has the effect of alleviating a medical condition, (b) the player has a legitimate medical reason to use the equipment or device, and (c) the Committee is satisfied that its use does not give the player any undue advantage over other players.
Penalty for Breach of Rule 14-3: Disqualification.When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

And the decision reinforces it
14-3/10 Use of Training or Swing Aid During Round
Q. During a round, may a player make a stroke or a practice swing using a club with a weighted headcover or “donut” on it, or use any other device designed as a training or swing aid?
A. No. The player would be using an artificial device to assist him in his play in breach of Rule 14-3, but see also Decision 4-4a/7 for use of a weighted training club. (Revised)

Even after reading the rule he was still sure he was right. Turns out he was talking about tubing to strech the shoulder. He saw a pro using it and assumed you could use all training aids as well :S
thanks boyswilly
