Benefits of technology

The present invention is a golf grip design that is shaped to support and facilitate natural hand and finger action. It is called an ergonomic grip because it allows for a more beneficial and easier grip on the club. The grip is shaped to reflect the natural anatomy of the upper grasping hand and is progressively larger in a proscribed circumferential dimension beginning with the anticipated area of impaction of the little finger and continuing through the anticipated grip impaction area of the index finger. The result is a golf grip that allows the fingers of the upper hand on the grip hands to operate simultaneously during a full swing golf stroke.

Problems solved by technology

Few attempts have been made to properly fit the grip to the physical structure of the hand and fingers.
Conventional golf grips, having a larger diameter at the upper, butt end surface, create unwanted tension problems that must be compensated for during the execution of a golf swing.
