Abstract A hollow tapered generally cylindrical golf club grip made of an elastomeric material, of which at least the upper or thicker part grasped by the direction-determining hand (usually left hand) has an arcuate surface on the side touching ball (heel) of the thumb, and the remaining surface touching the other four fingers consists of 6 - 10 lateral planes is provided. When this grip is grasped by the direction-determining hand, the second joints of the fingers placed on one of the edges and thus the grip never slips from the hand.
