Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to grasping surfaces for the handles of implements, such as sporting equipment, and to methods of packaging and preparing same for application, and to methods for applying same to such equipment, and in one embodiment comprises at least one tube of elastomeric material which has been rolled back on itself to form a ring-like or grommet-like structure which is spiral in cross-section and has been positioned on a support core from which it may be rolled onto the handle portion of the implement which it is to cover and then unrolled to form a continuous covering for grasping purposes.
