Weighted Golf Grip

Abstract

A golf grip having a weighted rear, longitudinal underside section providing a high Moment of Inertia to increase resistance to twisting and turning when the grip is connected to a golf club during the execution of a golf shot.

1 . A golf grip for attachment to a golf shaft including a gripping area for a golfer's hands comprising: a front topside, a shaft encasing section, sides and a rear, longitudinal underside section, an upper butt end and a lower end with a shaft opening accessing an interior bore in said grip; said front topside of said golf grip formed of a first lighter weight material; and, said rear, longitudinal underside section extending between said upper butt end and said lower end being formed with a second material heavier than said first lighter weight material whereby said grip will have an increased MOI to resist twisting and torque. 
     
     
         2 . The golf grip of  claim 1  wherein said first material and said second material have different densities. 
     
     
         3 . The golf grip of  claim 2  wherein said rear, longitudinal underside section has a density with greater weight. 
     
     
         4 . The golf grip of  claim 1  wherein said rear, longitudinal underside section is formed with a c-shaped cross sectional configuration. 
     
     
         5 . The golf grip of  claim 1  wherein said rear, longitudinal underside section extends the majority of the distance between said upper butt end to said lower end. 
     
     
         6 . The golf grip of  claim 1  wherein said front, topside shaft engaging section and said rear, longitudinal underside section are separate members connected together to form a unitary golf grip. 
     
     
         7 . The golf grip of  claim 1  wherein said rear, longitudinal underside section is formed with multiple, aligned weights. 
     
     
         8 . The golf grip of  claim 1  wherein said rear, longitudinal underside section includes a separate, unified elongated weight member. 
     
     
         9 . The golf grip of  claim 8  wherein said weight member is embedded in a rear underside of said grip. 
     
     
         10 . The golf grip of  claim 8  wherein said weight member is attached to a rear underside of said grip. 
     
     
         11 . A golf grip for connection to a golf shaft having a plurality of sections including a lightweight, upper frontside section and a lower rear, longitudinal section characterized by said lower rear section being formed with substantially heavier weighted material than said upper, frontside section. 
     
     
         12 . A golf grip for attachment to a golf shaft including a gripping area for a golfer's hands comprising; a golf shaft encasing section forming a front, topside section of the grip: said grip including sides, a rear, longitudinal underside section, an upper butt end and a lower end; an interior bore to accommodate connection to said golf shaft; a shaft opening accessing said interior bore; said front, topside shaft encasing section of said golf grip formed of a first lighter weight material; and, a separate longitudinal weight member attached to said rear, longitudinal underside section; said longitudinal weight member being formed with a second material heavier than said first lighter weight material of said topside, shaft encasing section, whereby said grip will have an increased MOI to resist twisting and torque. 
     
     
         13 . The golf grip of  claim 12  whereby said weight member is attached to an outer area of said rear, longitudinal underside section. 
     
     
         14 . The golf grip of  claim 12  further defined by said weight member being imbedded within said grip at said rear, longitudinal underside section of said grip. 
     
     
         15 . The golf grip of  claim 14  wherein said weight member is an elongated rod embedded between said upper butt end and said lower end of said grip. 
     
     
         16 . The golf grip of  claim 12  wherein said weight member is further defined by a series of individual weights closely spaced in a longitudinal direction between said upper butt and said lower end of said grip. 
     
     
         17 . The golf grip of  claim 12  wherein said weight member extends essentially the entire distance between said upper butt end and said lower end.
