Abstract
A moisture-absorbing grip for a handle of a golf club or a sports racket consists of an elongated strip of leather of a special transverse, cross-sectional profile which when spirally wound on the handle of a golf club or racket with the roughened nap side of the leather strip exposed provides a moisture-absorbing surface having ridges or peaks separated by arcuately curved grooves or valleys spirally oriented along the length of the club or racket handle. The resulting grip is not only moisture absorbent but conforms well to the hand of a player gripping the club or racket so as to resist slipping even when the player's hand or hands are profusely perspiring.
