Developed with the assistance of top rubber scientists, Prop-O-Grip is a light- weight molded rubber cover that zips over the handle of any club. It adds no bulk to the club handle, and after the correct grip becomes a matter of habit, the golfer can eliminate it without any feeling of awkwardness. So light in weight it can readily be carried in the pocket or golf bag, it has been engineered for strength, to stand up under the constant beating and friction of play. Golf pros who have tested the device are enthusiastic about its possibilities. The molded rubber projections and thumb grooves, they say, are an aid in indicating to the novice golfer the exact way his hands should be aligned for the best grip and its low retail cost puts it within the reach of every golfer.
