ABSTRACT:
A molding apparatus for manufacturing a molded golf club grip includes a mold member having a generally cylindrical shaped cavity disposed therein and defined by an internal annular surface. The cavity has a longitudinal axis and a circular cross sectional configuration. An elongate core bar is disposable within the cavity with the longitudinal axis of the cavity and the core bar being coextensive. The core bar has an external surface which is spaced apart from the internal annular surface of the mold member when the core bar is disposed in the cavity and the annular surface of the mold member cooperates with the external surface of the core bar to define a molding cavity for receiving a moldable material therein for molding a golf club grip. The external surface of the core bar includes first and second substantially planer portions disposed substantially parallel to each other, a third planer portion disposed substantially perpendicular to the first and second portions and an arcuate portion interposed between the first and second portions. The configuration of the annular surface of the mold member and the external surface of the core bar enables the molding apparatus to manufacture a golf club grip having an elongate cavity disposed coaxial to the longitudinal axis of the body of the grip wherein the elongate cavity is defined by first and second planer internal surfaces disposed substantially parallel to each other, a third planer internal surface disposed substantially perpendicular to the first and second planer surfaces and an arcuate internal surface disposed between the first and second internal surfaces. The grip when disposed on the cylindrical shaft of a golf club includes first, second and third elongate projections disposed substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the grip. The first, second and third elongate projections extend in a radial direction from the longitudinal axis of the grip and add to the width of the grip to facilitate the proper lay of the grip and the golf club in the hand of a person using the grip. These projections are beneficial to enable the grip to be securely gripped by a person who cannot make a tight fist such as one having arthritis.
