The disclosure herein includes a grip for a golf club with a flexible tube and a layered sheet. The tube includes a tubular body and raised portions extending from the tubular body. The outer surface of the raised portions cooperates with the layered sheet to form a gripping surface. The grip reduces impact shock and provides a feeling of tackiness while providing increased variation in the physical characteristics of the gripping surface. The disclosure further provides a golf club grip that includes a resilient strip spirally wrapped about an underlisting sleeve having a cap and a nipple. The underside of the cap is formed a downwardly facing circumferential slot that receives the upper edge of the strip. The nipple is formed with an upwardly facing groove that receives the lower portion of the strip. The disclosure further provides for a panel style grip.

1. A method of making a grip configured to be grasped by a user, said method comprising the steps of: providing a tube having a body with a first end, a second end including a cover defining a substantially closed outer surface, a support surface positioned between said first and second ends and a first raised section extending outwards from said support surface and integrally formed with said support surface, a second raised section extending outwards from said support surface and integrally formed with said support surface, said tube defining three regions of equal length extending from said first end to said second end including a first region adjacent the first end, a second region adjacent the second end, and a middle region between the first and second ends;said first raised section including a first exposed surface and a first connecting surface extending between said support surface and said first exposed surface, said first raised section integrally formed with said cover and having a length of at least about one half inch extending around the circumference of said tube such that said first raised section forms a portion of a gripping surface configured to be gripped by a user in the second region, and said second raised section including a second exposed surface and a second connecting surface extending between said support surface and said second exposed surface, said second raised section extending along said body in said middle region toward said first end, said second raised section extending to and ending in an elliptical-like point in the first region wherein said elliptical-like point is defined by the intersection of said second connecting surface and said second exposed surface;providing a multilayered sheet comprising an inner layer and an outer layer, said multilayered sheet configured to overlay said support surface and not said exposed surface of either said first or second raised sections;wrapping said multilayered sheet about said tube such that said multilayered sheet contacts said support surface of said tube and wraps entirely around the circumference of said tube body near said first end; andadhering said inner layer of said multilayered sheet to said support surface, wherein an outer surface of said multilayered sheet and said first and second exposed surfaces cooperate to define the gripping surface. 2. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein a portion of said first raised section extends a minimum of at least approximately 2 inches toward said first end. 3. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said multilayered sheet includes providing said multilayered sheet wherein said inner layer of said multilayered sheet comprises a fabric. 4. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said multilayered sheet includes providing said multilayered sheet wherein said inner layer of said multilayered sheet comprises ethylene-vinyl acetate. 5. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein said first end further defines an opening. 6. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein said first exposed surface includes a friction enhancing pattern. 7. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said multilayered sheet includes providing said multilayered sheet wherein said outer surface of said multilayered sheet includes a friction enhancing pattern. 8. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein first and second raised sections are separated by at least a portion of said support surface. 9. A method as in claim 8, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein said second raised section is generally shaped in the form of an ellipse having its long axis extending along the length of said body and having a second elliptical-like end. 10. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said multilayered sheet includes providing said multilayered sheet wherein at least one outer edge region of said sheet is skived. 11. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein said first connecting surface is transverse to said support surface. 12. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein at least a portion of said first connecting surface defines an angle with said support surface in the range of approximately 90 degrees and 175 degrees. 13. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein at least a portion of said first connecting surface defines an angle with said support surface in the range of approximately 95 degrees and 150 degrees. 14. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein at least a portion of said first connecting surface defines an angle with said support surface in the range of approximately 5 degrees and 90 degrees. 15. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein at least a portion of said first connecting surface defines an angle with said support surface in the range of approximately 25 degrees and 85 degrees. 16. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein said tube comprises a molded material. 17. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein said tube comprises a molded rubber. 18. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said multilayered sheet includes providing said multilayered sheet wherein said inner layer of said sheet to be adhered to said connecting surface is not skived. 19. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein said second exposed surface includes a friction enhancing pattern. 20. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein said second connecting surface is transverse to said support surface. 21. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein at least a portion of said second connecting surface defines an angle with said support surface in the range of approximately 90 degrees and 175 degrees. 22. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein at least a portion of said second connecting surface defines an angle with said support surface in the range of approximately 95 degrees and 150 degrees. 23. A method as in claim 1, wherein said step of providing said tube includes providing said tube wherein at least a portion of said second connecting surface defines an angle with said support surface in the range of approximately 5 degrees and 90 degrees. 24.
