BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a grip for sports gear such as a club and a racket. [0003] 2. Related Prior Art [0004] In U.S. Pat. No. 6,857,971, there is disclosed a single-panel golf club grip G consisting of a sleeve U and a panel S wound around and adhered to the sleeve U. The sleeve U is generally made of rubber or plastics. The sleeve U is located around a shaft 92 of a golf club GC or a putter P. The panel S generally consists of a felt layer 62 provided around the sleeve U and a polyurethane layer 60 provided around the felt layer 62. [0005] However, problems have been encountered in using the grip G. For one thing, the sleeve U serves no other purposes except providing a surface to which the panel S can be adhered. For another, the sleeve U made of rubber or plastics is heavier than the panel S consisting of the polyurethane layer 60 and the felt layer 62. Therefore, the grip G comes short of a light grip. [0006] The present invention is therefore intended to obviate or at least alleviate the problems encountered in prior art. SUMMARY OF INVENTION [0007] According to the present invention, a grip is disclosed for a handle of a sports gear such as a golf club, a badminton racket and a tennis racket. The grip includes a strip, a ring and a cap. The strip is located around and adhered to the handle. The strip includes a first transverse edge, a second transverse edge opposite to the first transverse edge and two longitudinal edges adhered to each other. The ring is located around the handle in order to cover the first transverse edge. The cap is located at the tip of the handle in order to cover the second transverse edge. [0008] An advantage of the grip of the present invention is that it weighs only a little. [0009] Another advantage of the grip of the present invention is that it is firmly attached to the handle for the use of the ring and the cap. [0010] Other advantages and novel features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description referring to the attached drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS [0011] The present invention will be described through illustration of three embodiments referring to the drawings.
