Grip for golf club

Grip for golf club description/claims

This invention relates to a golf club of which hand grip part is built-in with advertising or PR-related print layer, which can be viewed easily, protected from damage, and its image is enhanced for clearer view.

Golf is a game for players to grip golf clubs to hit golf balls to drive the balls into small holes at a certain distance and location. A golf club consists of a head to hit ball, a shaft made with metal or other material, and a grip which covers the end of shaft for the player to hold the club. Since the grip needs to be suitable for holding and not slippery, it is usually formed by winding and layering long strip made of rubber or plastic material around the shaft spirally, or formed with plastic material as a single body with the shaft.

However, conventional grips formed in above described methods require time, labor, and cost. In addition, layering method requires to prepare the layer material at appropriate length to prevent shortage or excess.

In golf games, players drive balls with golf clubs, holding the club tightly wearing gloves. Therefore, players' hands sweat, and golf club grips are subject to contamination and deterioration by sweat. Therefore, grips are commonly formed opaquely, in dark colors such as black or deep blue.

Since golf club grips attract players' eyes, golf club manufacturers print or engrave company logos, brands, or other advertising signs.

Golf club grips not only attract eyes but also are touched with hands most frequently. Therefore, conventional methods of printing signs or marks on grips are liable to be contaminated with sweat and/or dust, and erased by friction with hand.

Depressed or relieved engravings are not so distinctive to eyes, and printing ends in being detached or giving unpleasantness by adhesive.
