US Patent 7566375 Panel grip with cut-outs and inserts

A grip for the handle of a golf club having at least a sheet with a cut-out and an insert. The insert is positioned within or against the cut-out of the sheet to define a panel. The panel is then attached to an underlisting sleeve. The grip reduces impact shock and provides a feeling of tackiness in the manner of a spirally wrapped polyurethane-felt grip while allowing the use of multiple color panels and inserts, easy installation onto a golf club shaft, and placement of various materials in various grip areas.
