Patent of the Week – “Air Cushion” Golf Grip Patent

I am not familiar with the Eing Nan Rubber Company of Taiwan, but this week they were the recipient of an interesting golf grip patent. USPN 7214141 titled “Air Cushion Type Sleeve of a Handle of a Golf Club” is directed to a golf grip with an underlisting formed with a plurality of cavities. The outer sleeve then seals the underlisting forming air pockets in the cavities. Check out the following figure from the patent.

I would love to get my hands on a few of these grips to see how they feel. Congratulations Eing Nan Rubber Company!
