The present disclosure thus provides a unique flexible elastomeric grip for an implement handle such as a shaft of a golf club and has a pattern of voids/recesses in the form of grooves and/or dimples on the inner periphery thereof which may be spaced to provide different cushioning in longitudinally spaced regions of the grip. Where texture grooves are employed on the outer periphery of the grip of the present disclosure, the thickness of the material between the grooves and/or dimples on the inner periphery and the texture on the outer periphery is maintained at not less than one millimeter (1 mm).

A golf grip is disclosed having a unique ergonomic finger grip pattern consisting of a series of eight rounded finger pads extending outward along the length of the grip and having a specific proprietary ergonomic curvature and slope. The finger pads define seven concave depressions, or finger grooves, between each finger pad along the length of the grip, making up a unique and novel finger grip pattern that provides optimal comfort and support and increased shock absorption for the fingers and hands of a golfer suffering from arthritis or other hand-related ailments.

A grip tape includes an elongated tape body defining a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a coating layer of a predetermined sign formed of a coating on the second surfaced of the tape body by dot array printing with a spacer formed between each two adjacent coating spots.

The invention comprises a device and method for warming hands during a sporting or athletic activity particularly those requiring a rod-shaped tool such as a pom-pom, hiking pole, golf club, or the like. The device may be formed of flexible material with a pocket to hold a heating or cooling element. A mating means may be used to attach the device to the handle of the rod-shaped tool.

A lightweight flexible grip for a shock imparting implement having a plurality of through the wall cavities. The through the wall cavities may have any shape or form and be located in any desired arrangement and location on the grip. The present disclosure is particularly suited as a hand grip for a sporting implement like a lightweight golf club grip having good traction, comfort, and hand feel.

A handle for sport equipment comprises a tubular body (7) which extends along a longitudinal axis (L) and has an outer peripheral surface (8) adapted to be grasped by a user and shaped with a plurality of longitudinal faces (9) placed side by side in correspondence of edges (10) adapted to facilitate the positioning of the finger joints of the gripping hand by the user. The edges (10) are arranged along at least one pair of helical or spiral paths that develop around said longitudinal axis (L) with mutually opposite sign to subdivide each of said longitudinal faces (9) into a plurality of areas or flat surfaces (11) sized to accommodate a corresponding phalanx of the gripping hand of the user, each of said areas or flat surfaces (11) being perimetrically delimited by at least one pair of edges (10, 10) of each of the helical or spiral paths.
