Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a golf club grip that is designed to be more ergonomic and comfortable for golfers. The grip is shaped to allow the fingers of the golfer's non-dominant hand to close, tighten, and impact the surface of the grip simultaneously during a full swing golf swing. This grip design improves the golfer's ability to grip the golf club and make it easier to execute a smooth swing.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional golf grips, having an non-ergonomic larger diameter at the upper butt-end surface, automatically create undesirable static forearm tension during swing address and an unintentional mid-swing inefficient club levering which must be compensated for by semi-conscious timed manipulations during the kinetic phase of every golf swing using these grips.

Embodiment Construction

[0031]Referring to FIGS. 1-5, a full swing golf grip 100 in accordance with the present invention is shown attached to a golf club 102 on the upper end of a shaft 104 at the opposite end of a club head 106. The grip 100 is preferably a single, unitary, molded member made of rubber or a similar flexible composite material. The grip 100 is generally cylindrical in shape and has a hollow interior. An opening 108 at a lower end of the grip 100 enables the grip 100 to be placed over and secured to the shaft 104 using adhesive or suitable tape. A cap 110 at the top end of the grip 100 covers the upper end of the shaft 104.

[0032]The grip 100 is formed in two parts including an upper hand area 111 and a lower hand area 114. The lower hand area 114 is cylindrical in shape and is formed with a constant outer diameter along the entire length of the lower hand area 114 as seen in the drawings.

[0033]The upper hand area 111 is formed with a generally cylindrical, upper section 112 having a non-ta...

Abstract

A golf club grip structured to create simultaneous closing and impaction of the fingers of the golfer's upper hand during the execution of a full swing golf shot. The grip includes a constant diameter lower hand area and an upper hand section including an upper constant diameter section to accommodate the golfer's little finger and a second lower section having a gradually increasing diameter to accommodate the remaining three fingers of the golfer's upper hand.

Description

RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS[0001]The present invention is a continuation in part of application application. Ser. No. 13 / 317,233 filed Oct. 13, 2011 titled GOLF CLUB GRIP and application. Ser. No. 14 / 285,701 filed May 23, 2014 also titled GOLF CLUB GRIP.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]During the execution of a normal full swing golf shot, a golf club is gripped by a golfer with both hands with the uppermost, non-dominant hand being placed at the upper end of a golf grip attached to the upper end of the golf club shaft. Most conventional golf grips are made with either a constant diameter or with a tapering outside diameter that is progressively smaller away from the uppermost part of the grip at the butt end of the golf club. Typically, the uppermost or butt end of golf grips are formed with a larger diameter to prevent the club from slipping out of the hands of the golfer particularly during adverse weather conditions. Historically few attempts have been made to ergonomically fit ...
