Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a golf club grip showing a good feeling both at hitting and at waggling. The present invention provides a golf club grip comprising a cylindrical portion for inserting a shaft, wherein the cylindrical portion has a compression strain in a range from 46% to 55% at a compression stress of 20 kg/cm 2 , and a compression strain in a range from 63% to 69% at a compression stress of 120 kg/cm 2 .

Claims (17)

1. A golf club grip comprising a cylindrical portion for inserting a shaft, wherein the cylindrical portion has a compression strain in a range from 46% to 55% at a compression stress of 20 kg/cm 2 , and a compression strain in a range from 63% to 69% at a compression stress of 120 kg/cm 2 ,

the cylindrical portion comprises a cylindrical inner layer and a cylindrical outer layer covering the cylindrical inner layer along the entire longitudinal direction thereof,

the cylindrical inner layer material hardness H in (JIS-A) is higher than the cylindrical outer layer material hardness H out (JIS-A), and

the cylindrical inner layer has a material hardness H in (JIS-A) in a range from 40 to 65, and the cylindrical outer layer has a material hardness H out (JIS-A) in a range from 40 to 65.

2. The golf club grip according to claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical inner layer is a porous layer.

3. The golf club grip according to claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical inner layer has a density in a range of 0.25 g/cm 3 to 0.40 g/cm 3 .

4. The golf club grip according to claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical outer layer has a thickness in a range of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm.

5. The golf club grip according to claim 1 , wherein a hardness difference (H in −H out ) between the material hardness H in (JIS-A) of the cylindrical inner layer and the material hardness H out (JIS-A) of the cylindrical outer layer is more than 0 and 25 or less.

6. A golf club comprising a shaft, a head provided on one end of the shaft, and a grip provided on another end of the shaft, wherein the grip is a golf club grip comprising a cylindrical portion for inserting the shaft,

the cylindrical portion has a compression strain in a range from 46% to 55% at a compression stress of 20 kg/cm 2 , and a compression strain in a range from 63% to 69% at a compression stress of 120 kg/cm 2 ,

the cylindrical portion comprises a cylindrical inner layer and a cylindrical outer layer covering the cylindrical inner layer along the entire longitudinal direction thereof,

the cylindrical inner layer material hardness H in (JIS-A) is higher than the cylindrical outer layer material hardness H out (JIS-A), and

the cylindrical inner layer has a material hardness H in (JIS-A) in a range from 40 to 65, and the cylindrical outer layer has a material hardness H out (JIS-A) in a range from 40 to 65.

7. The golf club according to claim 6 , wherein the cylindrical inner layer is a porous layer.

8. The golf club grip according to claim 6 , wherein the cylindrical inner layer has a density in a range of 0.25 g/cm 3 to 0.40 g/cm 3 .

9. The golf club grip according to claim 6 , wherein the cylindrical outer layer has a thickness in a range of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm.

10. The golf club grip according to claim 6 , wherein a hardness difference (H in −H out ) between the material hardness H in (JIS-A) of the cylindrical inner layer and the material hardness H out (JIS-A) of the cylindrical outer layer is more than 0 and 25 or less.
