Patent ID: 11253760

Abstract:
Attachment of an interchangeable grip sleeve particularly suited for golf requires three basic securing movements. In the first movement, the grip is situated and secured into place on the shaft by fastening toe components at the lower, distal portion of the grip onto the shaft using an insertion tool. In the second movement, heel components of the grip are positioned onto the shaft, by either rotational torque or downward pressure, optionally using a tightening tool, which results in securing the upper, proximal portion of the grip onto the shaft. In the third movement, once both heel and toe embodiments of the grip have been fastened to the shaft, the internal core diameter of the grip is decreased in order to secure the grip to the shaft, such as by rotating or twisting the entire grip body, wherein an internal mechanism maintains the grip body in the torqued or twisted position, thereby preventing the grip body from rotating back.
