Description

  The present invention relates to a grip for a golf club and a golf putter having the same, which can exert an antislip effect not only in a dry state but also in a wet state, and at the time of holding by hand. The present invention relates to a golf club grip with an excellent fit and a golf putter provided with the same.

A conventional golf club grip is slippery when it gets wet with water or sweat because EVA and rubber generally used as a resin constituting the grip body do not have water absorbency.
Therefore, in order to exert the anti-slip effect, form irregularities or grooves on the grip surface made of an elastic material such as rubber (Patent Documents 1 to 3), or attach a sheet-like material that absorbs sweat on the surface Is being done.
However, there is a problem that complicated and expensive molds are required to form asperities and grooves on the grip surface, and a problem that the fit feeling when held by the hand is reduced, and a fine pattern or color printing on the surface There is a restriction on appearance design that it can not be applied beautifully.

Moreover, although the sheet-like material which absorbs sweat has the characteristics that a pattern and a character can be printed finely on the surface, if the surface is dry, it may be slippery rather than it.
Therefore, in order to eliminate such a drawback, it has been proposed that a large number of small non-slip projections made of silicon be scattered on the grip surface and the grip surface be covered with the projections made of silicon.
Such a silicone non-slip has the effect of intimate contact with the hand when it is dry, but has the problem of becoming slippery rather when it gets wet due to sweat or rain.

  In addition, there is a problem that it may not be possible to concentrate on the swing when the unevenness or anti-slip projection is arranged in the thumb part where the sense is particularly sharp, and such a problem requires delicate force adjustment and In a golf putter (a golf club for putter) that concentrates
