Abstract

A grip assembly for a golf club (10) is provided. The grip assembly includes an elongate, thin-walled, tubular, parallel-sided grip member (14) having a sufficiently large diameter such that a shaft(11) will fit within the grip member. First and second support insert members (17,18) support and space the shaft (11) from the grip member (14) such that a void is formed within the grip member. The grip member (14) is provided with holes (20) such that air is allowed to circulate within the void thereby providing a cooling effect for the grip. The holes (20) also provide a frictional effect for the grip. The inside surfaces of the support members (17,18) are chamfered to assist in draining any moisture that may enter the void. The inserts (17,18) are made of elastomeric material of differing Shore hardness.
