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. The perforations pass through the cleats such that compression of a cleat between the finger and the club handle creates a suction cup effect within the body of the cleat spacing between the club handle and the wearer's hand provided by the device reduces friction between the club handle and the hand.
