Two hang grip

Abstract

A grip for attachment to a handle of a striking instrument swung with both of a user's hands for striking an object, one hand being a leading hand for leading the instrument toward the object and the other hand being a following hand. The grip comprises a leading portion adapted for receiving the grip of the user's leading hand and defining a first coefficient of friction between the leading portion of said grip and the user's leading hand; and a following portion adapted for receiving the grip of the user's following hand and defining a second coefficient of friction between the following portion of said grip and the user's following hand; the second coefficient of friction being lower than the first coefficient of friction.

 said leading portion of said grip is proximal said following portion.   
   
   
       3 . The grip of  claim 1  wherein:
 said grip comprises:
 a single wrap of grip material comprising:
 a section of leading material; and 
 a section of following material. 
 
   
   
   
       4 . The grip of  claim 1  wherein:
 said grip comprises:
 an elongate tape comprising:

 a second end of following material. 
 
   
   
   
       5 . The grip of  claim 1  wherein:
 said grip comprises:
 a elongate sleeve of resilient material; and wherein 
 said leading portion includes
 a covering of leading material on a portion of said sleeve for receiving the grip of the user's leading hand; and 
 
 said following portion includes:
 a covering of following material on a portion of said sleeve for receiving the grip of the user's following hand. 
 
   
   
   
       6 . A grip for attachment to a handle of a striking instrument swung with both of a user's hands for striking an object, one hand being a leading hand for leading the instrument toward the object and the other hand being a following hand; the palms of the user's facing in opposite directions; the handle having a distal end connected to a striking portion of the instrument and a proximal end; said grip comprising:
 a leading portion adapted for receiving the grip of the user's leading hand and defining a first coefficient of friction between the leading portion of said grip and the user's leading hand; and   a following portion adapted for receiving the grip of the user's following hand and defining a second coefficient of friction between the following portion of said grip and the user's following hand; the second coefficient of friction being lower than the first coefficient of friction.   
   
   
       7 . The grip of  claim 6  wherein:
 said leading portion of said grip is proximal said following portion.   
   
   
       8 . The grip of  claim 6  wherein:
 said grip comprises:
 a single wrap of grip material comprising:
 a section of leading material; and 
 a section of following material. 
 
   
   
   
       9 . The grip of  claim 6  wherein:
 said grip comprises:
 an elongate tape comprising:
 a first end of leading material; and 
 a second end of following material. 
 
   
   
   
       10 . The grip of  claim 6  wherein:
 said grip comprises:
 a elongate sleeve of resilient material; and wherein 
 said leading portion includes
 a covering of leading material on a portion of said sleeve for receiving the grip of the user's leading hand; and 
 
 said following portion includes:
 a covering of following material on a portion of said sleeve for receiving the grip of the user's following hand. 
 
   
   
   
       11 . A striking instrument swung with both of a user's hands for striking an object, one hand being a leading hand for leading the instrument toward the object and the other hand being a following hand for following the instrument toward the object; said instrument including:
 a striking portion for striking the object;   a handle including:
 a distal end connected to said striking portion; and 
 a proximal end; and 
   a grip attached to said proximal end of said handle including:
 a leading portion adapted for receiving the grip of the user's leading hand and defining a first coefficient of friction between the leading portion of said grip and the user's leading hand; and 
 a following portion adapted for receiving the grip of the user's following hand and defining a second coefficient of friction between the following portion of said grip and the user's following hand; the second coefficient of friction being lower than the first coefficient of friction. 
   
   
   
       12 . The striking instrument of  claim 11  wherein:
 said leading portion of said grip is proximal said following portion.   
   
   
       13 . The striking instrument of  claim 11  wherein:
 said grip comprises:
 a single wrap of grip material comprising:
 a section of leading material; and 
 a section of following material. 
 
   
   
   
       14 . The striking instrument of  claim 11  wherein:
 said grip comprises:
 an elongate tape comprising:
