Texturized golf grip surfaces

Abstract

A golf grip comprising two texturized surface patterns formed by outward-extending resiliently pliable protrusions. The first texturized surface pattern encircles an upper portion while the second texturized surface pattern encircles a lower portion of the golf grip. A border region separates the two texturized surface patterns. The border region defines an elongate tongued shape of the first texturized surface pattern extending along the top surface of the golf grip from its butt end and further defines an elliptical wave shape receding toward the butt end of the golf grip the opposite side surfaces of the golf grip. The two texturized surface patterns may be identical wherein each texturized surface pattern comprises a plurality of rows of equidistantly spaced-apart globular protrusions extending outward from the golf grip, each of the rows offset from its adjacent rows whereby the spaced-apart globular protrusions form a honeycomb pattern.

1 . A texturized golf grip having a proximal butt end and a distal end for receiving thereinto and demountably engaging a golf shaft, the texturized golf grip comprising:
 two texturized surface patterns formed by outward-extending resiliently pliable protrusions wherein a first texturized surface pattern encircles an upper portion of the golf grip and a second texturized surface pattern encircles lower portion of the golf grip; and   a border region separating the first texturized surface pattern and the second texturized surface pattern, said border region defining an elongate tongued shape of the first texturized surface pattern extending along the top surface of the golf grip from its butt end and further defining an elliptical wave shape receding toward the butt end of the golf grip, said elliptical wave shape receding along the opposite side surfaces of the golf grip.   
     
     
         2 . The texturized golf grip of  claim 1 , wherein the two texturized surface patterns are identical and each texturized surface pattern comprises a plurality of rows of equidistantly spaced-apart globular protrusions extending outward from the golf grip, each of said rows offset from its adjacent rows whereby the spaced-apart globular protrusions form a honeycomb pattern. 
     
     
         3 . The texturized golf grip of  claim 2 , wherein the base diameter of each of the spaced-apart globular protrusions forming the first texturized surface pattern is greater than the base diameter of each of the spaced-apart globular protrusions forming the second texturized surface pattern. 
     
     
         4 . The texturized golf grip of  claim 2 , wherein the base diameter of each of the spaced-apart globular protrusions forming the second texturized surface pattern is greater than the base diameter of each of the spaced-apart globular protrusions forming the first texturized surface pattern. 
     
     
         5 . The texturized golf grip of  claim 1 , wherein the first texturized surface pattern comprises a plurality of rows of equidistantly spaced-apart elongate protrusions extending outward from the golf grip, each of said rows offset from its adjacent rows thereby forming a herringbone pattern, and the second texturized surface pattern comprises a plurality of rows of equidistantly spaced-apart globular protrusions extending outward from the golf grip, each of said rows offset from its adjacent rows thereby forming a honeycomb pattern. 
     
     
         6 . The texturized golf grip of  claim 1 , wherein the first texturized surface pattern has a first colour and the second texturized surface pattern has a second colour. 
     
     
         7 . The texturized golf grip of  claim 1 , configured for demountable engagement with a putter shaft. 
     
     
         8 . The texturized golf grip of  claim 7 , wherein the grip is tapered inward along its length from its proximal end to its distal end. 
     
     
         9 . The texturized golf grip of  claim 7 , wherein the grip is tapered outward along its length from its proximal end to its distal end. 
     
     
         10 . The texturized golf grip of  claim 7 , wherein the grip is cylindrical along its length from its proximal end to its distal end. 
     
     
         11 . The texturized golf grip of  claim 7 , wherein the proximal end of the grip has an end cap component for releasingly engaging a ball marker. 
     
     
         12 . The texturized golf grip of  claim 11 , wherein the proximal end of the grip has an end cap component has a retaining rim that extends partially around the circumference of the end cap. 
     
     
         13 . The texturized golf grip of  claim 11 , wherein the end cap component is fitted with a magnet for magnetically engaging a metallic ball marker.
