Golf club grip

Abstract

A golf club grip structured to create simultaneous closing and impaction of the fingers of the golfer's upper hand during the execution of a full swing golf shot. The grip includes a constant diameter lower hand area and an upper hand section including an upper constant diameter section to accommodate the golfer's little finger and a second lower section having a gradually increasing diameter to accommodate the remaining three fingers of the golfer's upper hand.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A grip for a golf club having an axial length and that is configured to be griped by a dominate and a non-dominate hand of a golfer, the grip comprising:
 a dominate hand portion configured to receive the dominate hand of the golfer;   a non-dominate hand portion coaxially aligned and integral with the dominate hand portion, and the non-dominate hand portion being configured to receive the non-dominate hand of the golfer;   the non-dominate hand portion further comprising:
 a butt end section that is spaced from the dominate hand portion; 
 a transition section having a first outer diameter that tapers from about 1.0 inches to about 0.75 inch; 
 the butt end section having a first axial length, relative to an axis of the grip, that is no greater than 1.25 inch; 
 the transition section having a second axial length, relative to the axis of the grip, that is about 3 inches; and 
 the outer diameter tappers at a rate between about 0.02 inches and 0.03 inches per inch of axial length. 
   
     
     
         2 . The grip of  claim 1 , wherein the dominate hand portion has a second outer diameter and the butt end section has a third outer diameter that is smaller in size than the second outer diameter. 
     
     
         3 . The grip of  claim 2 , wherein the second outer diameter is about 1 inch. 
     
     
         4 . The grip of  claim 3 , wherein the third outer diameter is about 0.75 inch. 
     
     
         5 . The golf grip of  claim 1 , wherein the dominate hand portion has a third axial length, relative to an axis of the grip, that is about 5 inches. 
     
     
         6 . The golf grip of  claim 1 , wherein the dominate hand portion has a third axial length, relative to an axis of the grip, that is greater in length than the second and first axial lengths. 
     
     
         7 . A grip for a golf club having an axial length and that is configured to be griped by a dominate and a non-dominate hand of a golfer, the grip comprising:
 a dominate hand portion that has a first outer diameter that is about 1.0 inches and is configured to receive the dominate hand of the golfer;   a non-dominate hand portion coaxially aligned and integral with the dominate hand portion, and the non-dominate hand portion being configured to receive the non-dominate hand of the golfer;   the non-dominate hand portion further comprising:
 a butt end section that is spaced from the dominate hand portion the butt end section has a third outer diameter that is about 0.75 inches; 
 a transition section having a first outer diameter that tapers from the dominate hand portion to the butt end section; 
 the third outer diameter tapering from about 0.75 inches to about 1.0 inches; 
 the butt end section having a first axial length, relative to an axis of the grip, that is about 1.25 inches; 
 the transition section having a second axial length, relative to the axis of the grip, that is about 3 inches; and 
 the first outer diameter tappers at a rate 0.0263 inches per inch of axial length. 
   
     
     
         8 . The grip of  claim 7 , wherein the dominate hand portion has a second outer diameter and the butt end section has a third outer diameter that is smaller in size than the first outer diameter. 
     
     
         9 . The grip of  claim 8 , wherein the first outer diameter is about 1 inch. 
     
     
         10 . The grip of  claim 9 , wherein the third outer diameter is about 0.75 inch.
