Abstract

See full text

A grip for a piece of sporting equipment has a unitary body formed from a relatively flexible material. The grip includes a pair of gripping surfaces comprising a plurality of slots for receiving a users fingers. The gripping surfaces are offset to ensure that the user properly grips the piece of sporting equipment to maximize power and control of the equipment. By maintaining proper positioning from setup through follow through of a swing, proper energy transfer from the large muscles of the user's body to the equipment is accomplished. Impact-based injuries and repetitive injuries are minimized, and pain associated with certain swings is minimized. The grip may be formed from an impression of a user's grip, from which a grip mold is formed. The grip mold is positioned around the handle of an actual bat, filled with urethane, and allowed to cure into the disclosed grip.
