  • Patent number: 5135226
    Abstract: A single-finger gripping device is particularly useful for providing a non-slip grip surface at the pivot point between the handle of a golf club and the hand of a golfer using a conventional overhand grip. Preferably made of a thermoplastic material, the device is annularly shaped and fits around the index finger of a wearer without putting constricting pressure thereupon. The outer surface of the device is smooth and the inner surface has cleats which extend inwardly from the inner surface. The cleats provide friction between the device and a finger beneath when pressure on the club handle from the wearer's thumb presses the device against the finger. Perforations in the device provide good aeration to the finger as does the elevation of the ring away from the finger by the cleats.
