Abstract

A grip sleeve includes a sleeve member for sleeving onto a shaft of a sports gear, and a flexible wrapping member wrapped about the sleeve member. The sleeve member has a head, a heel and a body between the head and the heel. The body of the sleeve member has a radially-recessed annular locating groove at least one of two distal ends thereof. The flexible wrapping member is wrapped about the body of the sleeve member in flush with the head and the heel for the grasp by hand comfortably. The flexible wrapping member has an end edge tightly engaged into the annular locating groove of the body of the sleeve member to prohibit axial displacement of the flexible wrapping member relative to the body of the sleeve member.
