Golf grip

Abstract

A golf grip that provides a user with tactile feedback is provided. The golf grip includes a grip body having an upper portion, a lower portion, a grip length, a proximal end, a distal end, and an exterior body surface. The exterior body surface is defined by a first octant, a second octant, a third octant, a fourth octant, a fifth octant, a sixth octant, a seventh octant, and an eighth octant. The golf grip includes at least a first tactile channel that extends longitudinally along the exterior body surface and is confined to a first tactile octant. The first tactile channel is formed with dimensions specifically tailored to harness the user's natural attributes of sensibility, proprioception, and neuromuscular memory to improve the user's ability to consistently hit a golf ball on the center of a golf club.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present disclosure describes a golf grip that gives a user a tactile feedback. It has a unique design that allows the user to have a consistent and precise feel when hitting the golf ball. This is achieved by a longitudinally extending tactile channel that is confined to a specific area of the grip. The dimensions of this channel are specifically tailored to match the user's natural sensory attributes, making it easy for them to consistently hit the ball on the center of the golf club. Overall, this technology provides an improved feel for the user and enhances their ability to consistently hit the ball with accuracy.

Problems solved by technology

For the most part, the golf grip has not been considered as a means for game improvement.

However, modern golf club heads do very little to help a golfer consistently hit the golf ball on the center of the golf club face.

The ability to consistently hit the golf ball on the center of the golf club face will lead to longer, straighter golf shots, which typically results in lower golf scores.
