Abstract
An applicator for applying a grip-enhancing substance onto the grip or handle of an object such as a golf club, tennis racquet, hockey stick, hammer, etc. The grip or handle of the object is inserted into the applicator by way of a selectively closable opening formed in one end thereof. The applicator is then squeezed to transfer a grip-enhancing substance contained within the applicator onto the grip or handle. The grip or handle is then removed from the interior of the applicator.

An applicator for applying grip-enhancing substances on the grip or handle of an object, comprising:
- an elongated, hollow outer tubular member having first and second ends;
- said outer tubular member being comprised of a flexible material;
- an elongated, hollow intermediate tubular member, having first and second ends, positioned within said outer tubular member;
- said intermediate tubular member being comprised of a flexible, liquid-impervious material;
- an elongated, hollow inner tubular member, having first and second ends, positioned within said intermediate tubular member;
- said inner tubular member being comprised of a flexible absorbent material;
