The grip is comprised of a deformable cover formed of a thermoplastic material which is stable and semi-rigid at normal ambient temperatures and is soft and deformable when heated in boiling water. The cover is attached to an implement handle heated and deformed to the shape required by a specific implement user. The method of forming the grip includes the steps of coating the implement handle with a cover material, heating the implement handle until the material has become softened, and grasping an implement handle while the cover is soft and deformable, thereby causing the cover to be molded to a user\s specific shape. The high coefficient of friction and the moldability of the material results in a superior grip.

A handle for an elongated implement to be held by the hand of a user comprising: a tubular deformable cover formed of a thermoplastic material which is stable and semi-rigid at normal ambient temperatures and is soft and deformable when heated, said cover consisting essentially of a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate softening at a temperature in a range from above ambient temperature to the temperature of boiling water, said cover having a bore extending therethrough enabling the cover to be telescopically installed upon said implement, with the inner surface of the cover adhering to the implement and the outer surface of the cover being deformable when in the heated state to provide a contoured gripping surface unique to and directly grippable by the hand of a specific user.
