  • Patent number: 7261639
    Abstract: A method and device for preventing a golfer's hands from slipping off a golf club grip. The device has a body with an opening that defines an inner perimeter of the body, an outer perimeter spaced radially outward from and surrounding the inner perimeter, and a slot in the body that extends between the inner and outer perimeters thereof. The slot has a width greater than the diameter of the golf club shaft to permit installation of the body on the golf club. The opening in the body has a minimum dimension larger than the diameter of a second grip portion of the grip but smaller than the diameter of a first grip portion of the grip, so that the body can be prevented from being removed from the club over the first grip portion. In this manner, the device is secured on the grip by an interference fit.
