Abstract
A shock absorbing grip for a ball-struck impact imparting device such as a tennis racquet having a resilient compressible body which overlies the handle. An inflatable tube carried by the body is inflated by an air pump to selectively pressurize the tube to cause the tube to define a raised profile along the body adjacent the tube.
