BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to sports apparatus and more particularly, to a grip for the handle of a sports apparatus. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] The handle of a sports apparatus is provided for the holding of the user's hand so that the user can control the operation of the sports apparatus. Because the handle has a hard structure not comfortable to grasp for the user's hand, a soft grip may be used and wrapped about the handle. [0005] A grip for this purpose may be formed of a flexible or soft grip belt for wrapping about the periphery of the handle. The grip belt has one single material and one single color. Various materials, including PU (Polyurethane), rubber, EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), and etc., may be used for making a grip belt. PU has the advantage of soft touch. Rubber has the advantage of non-slippage. EVA has shock absorbing advantage. However, a single color grip is monotonous, not attractive to consumers. [0006] Therefore, different grips are developed to eliminate the aforesaid drawback. U.S. Pat. No. 6,843,732 entitled "MULTI-SEGMENT SINGLE PANEL GRIP" discloses a grip for the handle of a golf club having multiple two layer panels that are wrapped about an underlisting sleeve. The edges of the panels are adhesively sealed together. The grip reduces impact and shock and provides a feeling of tackiness in the manner of a spirally wrapped polyurethane-felt grip while allowing the use of multiple color panels and easy instillation onto a golf club shaft. This design of grip is not satisfactory in function. Because there are different contact pressure between the fingers and palm of the hand and the grip, different cushions are required. For example, when used in a racket for badminton, it requires a relatively softer contact area for the fingers and an area having a relatively stronger shock absorbing power for the palm. When used in a golf club, the left hand and the right hand require a different touch. [0007] Further, the touching pressure between the hand and the grip may vary with different users. In general, the gripping effect of a grip must be designed subject to the type of the sports apparatus or personal requirement. The aforesaid prior art design has a limitation to the effect of grasping and allows only arrangement of colors at the top and bottom sides. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is one object of the present invention to provide a grip, which allows change of the structure of a particular gripping area to fit different users or different requirements. [0009] It is another object of the present invention to provide a grip, which allows change of the structure and/or color of particular gripping area or areas. [0010] To achieve these objects of the present invention, the grip comprises a sleeve for sleeving onto the handle of the sports apparatus; a covering covered on the sleeve and provided with a recessed portion at an outer surface thereof; and a patch fitting the recessed portion of the covering. The patch has an outer surface, an inner bonding surface bonded to the recessed portion, and a contour fitting the contour of the recessed portion.
