Abstract
A golf club grip (10) with an integral hand placement indicator (20) for encouraging hand placement using a plurality of opposed arcs (32, 32′) for a traditional three knuckle power position which assists in squaring the club face (17) with a golf ball upon impact. The predetermined sinuous surface pattern (20) provides at least a first pair of opposed arcs (34, 34′), a second pair of opposed arcs (36, 36′) and a third pair of opposed arcs (38, 38′) with the second pair (36, 36′) and the third pair (38, 38′) being preferably indicative of a first hand position (40) and a second hand position (42).
Claims14
A golf club grip (10) with an integral hand placement indicator, comprising:
- an elastomeric body (12) having a generally cylindrical shape, said elastomeric body (12) further having a bore (14) constructed to be slidably received on a golf club shaft (16);
- and
- a predetermined sinuous surface pattern (20) on at least a front side (22) of said elastomeric body (12), said predetermined sinuous surface pattern comprises a plurality of contiguous pairs of opposed arcs (32, 32′) situated radially lengthwise along the golf club grip (10), said predetermined sinuous surface pattern (20) extending from an upper portion of said body (24) to a lower portion (26) thereof, said predetermined sinuous surface pattern (20) being constructed for indicating hand placement on the golf club grip.
A method for hand placement on a golf club grip (10), comprising the steps of:
- providing an elastomeric body (12) having a generally cylindrical shape with a bore (14) to be slidably received on a golf club shaft (16);
- forming a predetermined sinuous surface pattern (20) on at least a front side (22) of said elastomeric body (12), said predetermined sinuous surface pattern (20) comprising a plurality of contiguous pairs of opposed arcs situated radially lengthwise along the golf club grip and extending from an upper portion (24) of said elastomeric body (12) to a lower portion (26) thereof;
- and
- indicating hand placement on said elastomeric body (12) with said predetermined sinuous surface pattern (20).
