Abstract

A golf club grip includes an elongated body having an irregular pentagon-shaped five-sided cross-section with a contoured periphery and a consistent cross section along a longitudinal length of the body. The body can have at least one aperture formed therein. The at least one aperture can include first and second apertures defined by hollow cylindrical openings extending through one longitudinal end of the body. Each of the first and second apertures can have a longitudinal axis, which can extend parallel to one another. The longitudinal axes can define a plane extending in a direction generally perpendicular to a putter head face to be assembled to the body for right handed and left handed golfers, wherein a putter shaft to be located in either of the first and second apertures during assembly provides either an offset position or an onset position of a putter face with respect to the grip.

Claims (28)

1. A golf club grip comprising:

an elongated body having an irregular pentagon-shaped five-sided cross-section with at least one side longer than one of the other sides, rounded angles and a consistent cross-section along a longitudinal length.

2. The golf club grip of claim 1 further comprising:

the consistent cross-section extending along an entire longitudinal length of the elongated body.

3. The golf club grip of claim 1 further comprising:

at least one aperture defining a hollow cylindrical opening through one longitudinal end of the elongated body.

4. The golf club grip of claim 3 , wherein the at least one aperture is centered on a longitudinal axis of the elongated body.

5. The golf club grip of claim 3 , wherein the at least one aperture further comprises first and second apertures.

6. The golf club grip of claim 5 , wherein each of the first and second apertures has a longitudinal axis.

7. The golf club grip of claim 6 , wherein the longitudinal axes of the first and second apertures extending parallel to one another.

8. The golf club grip of claim 6 , wherein the longitudinal axes define a plane extending in a direction generally perpendicular to a putter head face to be assembled to the body for right handed golfers and left handed golfers.

9. The golf club grip of claim 6 , wherein during assembly a putter shaft can be located in either of the first and second apertures to selectively provide an offset position or an onset position of a putter head face with respect to the body for right handed golfers and left handed golfers.

10. A golf club grip comprising:

an elongated single monolithic body having first and second hollow cylindrical apertures extending into the elongated single monolithic body from one longitudinal end.

11. The golf club grip of claim 10 , wherein each of the first and second apertures has a longitudinal axis.

12. The golf club grip of claim 11 , wherein the longitudinal axes of the first and second apertures extending parallel to one another.

13. The golf club grip of claim 11 , wherein the longitudinal axes of the first and second apertures define a plane extending generally perpendicular to a putter head face to be assembled to the body for right handed golfers and left handed golfers.

14. The golf club grip of claim 11 , wherein during assembly a putter shaft can be located in either of the first and second apertures to selectively provide either an offset position or an onset position of a putter head face with respect to the body for right handed golfers and left handed golfers.

15. The golf club grip of claim 10 further comprising:

an irregular pentagon-shaped five-sided cross-section of the body with at least one side longer than one of the other sides.

16. The golf club grip of claim 15 , wherein the irregular pentagon-shaped five-sided cross-section of the body has at least one of a contoured periphery and rounded angles.

17. The golf club grip of claim 15 , wherein the irregular pentagon-shaped five sided cross-section of the body has a consistent cross section along a longitudinal length.

18. The golf club grip of claim 17 further comprising:

the consistent cross section of the body extending along an entire longitudinal length of the elongated body.

19. A golf club grip comprising:

an elongated body having an irregular pentagon-shaped five-sided cross-section with a contoured periphery and a consistent cross section along a longitudinal length, the consistent cross section extending along an entire longitudinal length of the elongated body, the elongated body having first and second apertures defining hollow cylindrical openings through one longitudinal end of the body, each of the first and second apertures having a longitudinal axis, the longitudinal axes of the first and second apertures extending parallel to one another, the longitudinal axes defining a plane extending in a direction generally perpendicular to a putter head face to be assembled to the body for right handed and left handed golfers, the irregular pentagon-shaped five-sided cross-section of the body having a side of longest dimension extending generally parallel to the plane defined by the longitudinal axes of the first and second apertures, wherein a putter shaft to be located in either of the first and second apertures during assembly selectively provides either an offset position or an onset position of a putter face with respect to the body.

20. The golf club grip of claim 19 further comprising:

a cylindrical plug for closing any unused aperture in the body during assembly.
