Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible easily mold a grip part of sporting goods, such as a golf club, so as to meet a user and to use the sporting goods in an optimum state by forming the grip part of a thermoplastic resin having a softening temperature higher than the human body temperature. SOLUTION: The golf club 1 has a slender rod-like shaft 4 and the front end of this shaft 4 is provided with a head 5. The base end of the shaft 4 is provided with the grip 2. The grip 2 is formed of a grip member 3 of a slender and approximately cylindrical shape. The thermoplastic resin or shape memory plastic having the softening temperature higher than the human body temperature and lower than the boiling temperature of water, more adequately the softening temperature of 60 to 100 deg.C, is used as the material used for this member. The user grips the grip 2 like in a use state in the state of heating the grip member 3 to the softening temperature or above, by which the grip member 3 is deformed and is then cooled and the grip 2 having optimun gripping degree optimum for the user is obtained.

Next, the use of the golf club 1 of this embodiment will be described. Prior to use, the grip member 3 is appropriately deformed by, for example, denting a portion where hands and fingers are arranged so that the golf club 1 conforms to the gripping method of the user's grip 2 by the following procedure. Keep it. (1) First, the golf club 1 is immersed in hot water heated to, for example, about 70 to 75 ° C. for a while depending on the material used, and the grip member 3 of the golf club 1 is warmed to a softening temperature. The portion of the grip member 3 is brought into a softened state with flexibility.

(2) Next, by holding the heated golf club 1 by gripping the grip 2 as in a normal use state, the grip member 3 is appropriately deformed and then cooled to a temperature lower than the softening temperature. To fix the deformed state. As a result, the grip member 3 is recessed at the position where the user's finger is arranged, and the golf club 1 deformed into a shape optimal for the gripping state of the user is completed.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the grip member 3 is fixedly provided in advance on the shaft 4 of the exercise equipment 1.
It may be configured to be detachable. That is, only the grip member 3 or only the grip portion 2 including the grip member 3 may be distributed as a single unit. In this case, the user can use the grip member 3
Can be used by attaching to the same kind of exercise equipment 1.
For example, it is also possible to use what was used for the driver of the golf club for the putter. At this time, only the grip member 3 may be detachable from the shaft 4 of the golf club, or the grip 2 with the grip member 3 (for example, a member in which the grip member 3 is attached to the outer periphery of a short bar). Alternatively, the shaft 4 may be detachably attached to the base end by screwing or the like.
