  • Patent number: 8425339
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and devices of enhancing power grip on an athletic apparatus allow for a constant pressure by the thumb and index finger to be applied to the golf club. The enhanced grip of the left thumb and index finger is sufficient to maintain proper grip during the golf swing and, most importantly, at impact. The disclosed systems and devices of enhancing power grip on an athletic apparatus comprise an index finger support, a thumb support and a locking mechanism. In an example embodiment, the index finger support comprises a slight curvature (or bevel) which allows this portion of the grip to be on the underside of the golf club. The thumb portion of the grip may be straight, exerting pressure on the top portion of the golf club.
