A flexible elastomeric grip for the shaft of a golf club having an end cap with a cavity for receiving a sensor and/or counterweight. The cap has a durometer hardness equal to or greater than the tubular body portion of the grip and a flange sized to match the larger diameter of the body, with a sleeve engaging the inner periphery of the larger end of the tubular body. In one version of the cap, the sleeve portion is extended in length and has stiffening ribs on the outer surface of the sleeve; and, in another version, the sleeve is shorter and may also have stiffening ribs on the outer surface of the sleeve. In another version of the cap, fibrous material is disposed in the flange and sleeve to increase lateral stiffness without increasing durometer.

An improved golf club gripwith a well-defined and pronounced reminder ribincludes in one embodiment of the present disclosure a groovepositioned in the exterior surfaceon each side of or surrounding a ridgethat extends lengthwise inside the bodyof the grip. When the golf gripis installed on a golf club shaft, the groovefacilitates the flexing of the grip material for forming the reminder rib. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the gripis provided with a raised portionof a selected material in a select region on the grip. When the golf gripis installed on a golf club shaft, the raised portionbecomes the reminder rib

Golf grip with reminder rib

A flexible grip for implements to be manually swung with speed and force, particularly golf clubs is disclosed. The grip is formed of elastomeric material die cut into patterns from uncured sheet stock. Discrete non-woven fibers of material having desired moisture absorbency are dispensed in random orientation onto the uncured sheet stock and embedded by rolling into the sheet stock. The pattern sheet stock, with embedded fibers is wrapped onto a mandrel which is inserted into a pre-mold, compressed thereon, removed and transferred to a compression mold, and cured. The mandrel is removed from the mold and the cured grip removed from the mandrel and installed onto the implement grip.
