Abstract
A grip for a golf club shaft defined by a resilient strip that is spirally wrapped about the shaft of the golf club to vary the longitudinal profile of the shaft and grip as compared to the original longitudinal profile of the golf club shaft. Such grip may be readily applied by a golfer as a replacement for the original grip. The resilient strip may be spirally wrapped about a sleeve that has been positioned on the golf club shaft or, alternatively, about the bare golf club shaft.
Claims7
The combination of a golf club shaft and a grip applied to said shaft, wherein the grip comprises an elongated strip of resilient material formed from an open-pored textile layer having an inner surface adhered to and abutting the golf club shaft, and a smooth polyurethane layer formed with closed pores, said polyurethane layer being bonded to the surface of the textile layer remote from the golf club shaft, with the pores of such polyurethane layer extending generally normal to the longitudinal axis of the golf club shaft, and wherein the longitudinal profile of the grip tapers in a straight line from one of its ends to its opposite end whereby when the strip is spirally wrapped about the golf club shaft, the longitudinal profile of such strip and shaft defines a grip that tapers in a straight line form one of its ends to its opposite end at an angle greater than the angle at which the golf club shaft tapers.
