ABSTRACT:
A micropattern grip surface for use on a grip, and particularly a grip for a golf club, wherein the pattern includes alternating upstanding ridges and grooves between the ridges. In a preferred embodiment, the ridges extend with a generally longitudinal direction of extension component on the grip with a generally circumferential direction of extension component and also may be parallel. The ridges in an embodiment zigzag along the longitudinal direction. In an embodiment, at intersections or bends between the zig and the zag line elements, additional free end barbs extend from the intersections. The density, width and height of the line elements of the ridges are selected to provide drag on the hand or object gripping the grip, preferably in both the longitudinal and circumferential directions, and to give the grip a velvety feel. Alternatively, each of the ridges is comprised of some line elements. Each ridge or a set of line segments thereof may be aligned in a direction of at least one of longitudinally along, circumferentially around, obliquely to the axis or spirally around the grip surface.
