Golf club grip

Abstract

A golf club grip for attachment to a golf club shaft formed of a lower section having a first diameter and an upper section having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. Both the lower section and the upper section each extend approximately half the length of the golf club grip with an interface section connection the lower and upper sections. The structure of the golf club grip promotes better feel and allows a golfer's non-dominant upper hand to obtain a firmer and stronger grip while allowing the dominant lower hand to impart more force to the ball with the golf club.

1 . A golf club grip for attachment to a golf club shaft wherein the improvement comprises: 
 a lower section of said grip having a first diameter and a length of approximately 4 to 6 inches, and an upper section of said grip having a second diameter smaller than said first diameter and a length of approximately 4 to 6 inches;    said lower section and said upper section each providing sufficient gripping space to accommodate the upper and lower hands of a golfer; and    transitional section which tapers between and connects said lower and upper sections.    
     
     
         2 . The golf grip of  claim 1  wherein said first and second diameters are constant along the entire length of each section.  
     
     
         3 . The golf club grip of  claim 1 , wherein said grip includes a cap on an upper end of said upper section and a shaft opening at a lower end of said lower section.  
     
     
         4 . (canceled)  
     
     
         5 . The golf club grip of  claim 1 , wherein each of said upper and lower sections extend approximately half the length of said grip.  
     
     
         6 . A golf club grip for attachment to a golf club shaft wherein the improvement comprises: 
 a lower section of said grip having a first diameter and a length of approximately 4 to 6 inches, and an upper section of said grip having a second diameter smaller than said first diameter and a length of approximately 4 to 6 inches;    said lower section and said upper section each providing sufficient gripping space to accommodate the upper and lower hands of a golfer;    transitional section which tapers between and connects said lower and upper sections;    said first and second diameters being constant along the entire length of each section; and,    said grip being formed as a single, unitary unit.    
     
     
         7 . A golf club grip for attachment to a golf club shaft wherein the improvement comprises: 
 a lower section of said grip having a first diameter and a length of approximately 4 to 6 inches, and an upper section of said grip having a second diameter smaller than said first diameter and a length of approximately 4 to 6 inches;    said lower section and said upper section each extending approximately half the length of said grip and sized to accommodate one of the hands of a golfer;    transitional section which tapers between and connects said lower and upper sections;    said first and second diameters being constant along the entire length of each section;    said grip having a cap on an upper end of said upper section and a shaft opening at a lower end of said lower section; and,    said grip being formed as a single, unitary unit.
