Abstract: A soft-feel handgrip for a handle construction having cushioning members for the top and bottom of the grip and a thermoplastic sheath wrapped around each member with concealed overlapped sheath ends and a method of making the handgrip employing dielectrical sealing. The invention also encompasses a handgrip in which the sheaths for the top and bottom of the handgrip may be different, i.e. one can be a porous non-thermoplastic sheath while the other can be a thermoplastic sheath, yet the instant method will effectively seal the disparate members dielectrically and at the same time conceal the sealed overlapped ends of the sheaths thereby enhancing the esthetic appeal of the handle.
