A grip assembly configured to connect to a shaft of a ball striking device, the grip assembly comprising:

• a grip member having a hollow central passage configured to receive and engage a shaft of a ball striking device to connect the grip assembly to the shaft, the grip member being formed of a first material;
• a receptacle located at a distal end of the grip assembly and configured to receive a component, the receptacle being formed of a second material having less flexibility than the first material;
• wherein the receptacle and the grip are co-molded to form a single, integral piece.

A method comprising:

• forming a receptacle from a first polymer material, the receptacle having an opening configured to receive one or more components;
• molding a grip member by injecting a second polymer material at least partially around the receptacle to form a single, integral co-molded grip assembly, wherein the grip member has a hollow central passage;
• wherein the grip assembly is configured to connect to a shaft of a ball striking device by receiving a portion of the shaft within the hollow central passage, wherein the receptacle is located at a distal end of the grip assembly.
