A grip for a shaft is provided. The grip includes an elongated tubular body having an axis, an outer surface on the body including a polygonal outer surface portion which is polygonal in transverse cross section defining flats joined at vertices and an inner surface on the body including a first inner surface portion opposite the polygonal outer surface portion. The first inner surface portion has a plurality of longitudinally extending grooves respectively disposed parallel to and in radial alignment with the vertices of the polygonal outer surface portion, whereby when the grip is disposed on the shaft and a user's hand applies pressure to one of the vertices, that vertex will flex inwardly toward the shaft thereby relieving pressure on the user's hand.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A grip for a shaft, the grip comprising:an elongated tubular body having an axis;an outer surface on the body including a polygonal outer surface portion which is polygonal in transverse cross section defining flats joined at vertices; andan inner surface on the body including an inner surface portion opposite the polygonal outer surface portion and having a plurality of longitudinally extending grooves respectively disposed in alignment with the vertices of the polygonal outer surface portion along lines intersecting the axis and respectively intersecting the vertices, the grooves being disposed symmetrically about the lines and allowing a greater degree of deflection of the vertices toward the axis than of the flats in response to pressure applied to the polygonal outer surface portion.
