  • Patent number: 4524973
    Abstract: A golf club handle which compensates for gripping pressure differences between upper and lower hands is comprised of a tubular housing which accommodates upper and lower depressor pads positioned in opposite sides of the housing. Springs associated with each depressor pad and positioned within the housing force the depressor pads outwardly. The force of the upper spring is greater than the force of the lower spring. Levers within the housing couple the relative movements of the depressor pads so that inward movement of one pad produces outward movement of the other pad.
