Abstract
A flexible elastomeric grip for a golf club has an elastomeric insert extending fully through the wall of the tubular grip and exposed on its exterior surface. The insert is comprised of a material having greater stiffness than the body material for enhancing gripability.
Claims1
A flexible tubular grip for being received over the shaft of a golf club comprising:
- (a) a tubular member formed of elastomeric material having a substantially closed end and an open end;
- (b) an elongated insert disposed in the tubular member and having a first surface exposed to the outer surface of the tubular member with the insert extending inwardly completely through the wall of the tubular member to have a second surface opposite the first surface exposed to and extending into the inner periphery of the tubular member, wherein, upon assembly of the grip over the shaft of the golf club, the insert is deformed such that a portion of the first surface is raised from the exterior surface of the elastomeric material of the tubular member.
