Abstract
A shock absorbing grip for a golf club or racquet having a two-piece strip formed of a polyurethane layer bonded to a felt layer where one strip segment is wider or equal than the other strip segment. The strip is spirally wrapped about a golf club or racquet handle with the side edges being formed with recessed reinforcement side edges which are overlapped to form a water retarding joint between the side edges of the strip. The strip segments and side edges may be fabricated in contrasting colors to provide a unique decorative appearance.

The combination of a handle of an impact imparting device and a resilient grip, comprising:
- a strip fabricated from first and second strip segments adhered together along their facing edges, each segment consisting of an open-pored felt layer having a generally flat inner surface and side edges, and a flat closed pore polyurethane layer having its inner surface bonded to the outer surface of the felt layer, and with the felt layer providing strength for the polyurethane layer while the polyurethane layer both absorbs shocks and provides tackiness so as to inhibit slippage of a user's hand relative to a handle;
- the segments being of contrasting colors;
- an adhesive applied to the underside of the felt layer;
- and
- the strip being spirally wrapped about the handle.

- heat compressed radially inwardly extending reinforcement side edges formed in the polyurethane layer of the strip along the length of the strip;
- outwardly and downwardly slanted side edges formed along the length of the felt layer;
- an adhesive applied to the underside of the felt layer;
- and
- the strip being spirally wrapped about the handle with the underside of adjoining recessed side edges overlapping one another to form a water retarding joint between the adjoining side edges.
