[Problem] To provide a golf club grip having excellent anti-slipping performance, and feeling when the grip is wet, and further to provide a golf club grip having excellent durability and an improved head speed. [Solution] The golf club grip comprises a cylindrical portion for inserting a shaft, wherein the golf club grip has a narrow groove region comprising narrow grooves in an occupation ratio of 35% or more per 25 mm.sup.2 at at least a part of a surface of the cylindrical portion, and the narrow groove has a width (w) of from 0.1 mm to 0.7 mm and a depth (h) of from 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm. In addition, an interval (d) between the narrow grooves are preferably 1.5 mm or less.

An exercise apparatus includes an adjustable frame being attachable to an assistive ambulation device. The adjustable frame includes removable handles, fitting arms located on a lower portion of the adjustable frame to receive a fitness attachment, and attachment points on located on the lower portion of the adjustable frame to couple a resistance device. A jump rope trainer includes a handle; flexible tubing including a handle fastener to connect the handle to the flexible tubing; and a soft sphere shaped object. The flexible tubing includes a soft sphere shaped object fastener to connect the soft sphere shaped object to the flexible tubing.

A flexible grip for a golf club having in one version a groove with an acute angle undercut grove in either or both the inner and outer surface to improve gripability. In another version, either or both of the inner and outer surface may be textured with peaks and valleys with radius less than 0.2 mm. In another version, either or both of the inner and outer surfaces may have a textured surface with raised portions having a height less than 0.3 mm. In another version, either or both the inner and outer surface may have a microtexture with raised portions having a transverse section width not greater than 0.3 mm with a height about 2 multiples of the transverse section width. In another version, the wall of the grip has voids or hollow spaces for improved cushioning for the user's grip.

Provided is a customized golf club grip and methods of forming the same. The customized golf grips may include customization based on pronation and supination, a computer aided system for producing customized golf grips, a mold for producing a customized grip, a smart grip and use thereof for a customized grip, and the like.

A divot repair tool for fixing divots in the playing surface made while playing golf. The tool is attached to the grip of a golf club and used to replace and fix divots in the grass. The club allows the tool to be extended to the ground without bending over or squatting down, thus reducing sports related injuries. The divot repair tool includes removable prongs and blade that can be used to fix the divot holes using a levering motion or a rotational motion. The divot repair tool can include an automated motorized embodiment that can rotate the tool and the individual prongs to repair the divot holes. Both versions can press the divot material up against a flat surface of the tool to further flatten the playing surface.

A golf club shaft includes a tip end, a butt end, a first anisotropic portion that is twisted in a first direction in conjunction with a bending of the golf club shaft at a circumferential bending position, and a second anisotropic portion that is twisted in a second direction in conjunction with the bending. The second anisotropic portion is located on a tip end side relative to the first anisotropic portion. The second direction is opposite to the first direction. In the shaft, the twist accompanied by the bending in the first anisotropic portion can be offset by the twist accompanied by the bending in the second anisotropic portion.
