Claim 1
Independent Claim
101 words
An improved molded, one-piece, slip-on grip for non-rotational retention on the elongated handles of tennis rackets and the like of the type comprising an elongated sleeve having an open end and a closed end, said improvement comprising: a plurality of axially extending circumferentially spaced internal flats formed in the internal surface of said grip and forming an equilateral polygon adjacent the closed end thereof, said flats are of decreasing circumferential extension away from said closed end and terminate at an axial distance from said closed end which is in the range of 15% to 65% of axial length of said grip.
