Also, since there is an area where a plurality of projections or dents are formed being separated independently one by one. Accordingly, when the whole of the element body of the grip is ground from the surface in a uniform depth, the fiber is exposed in the area having a plurality of plane portions and the fiber is not exposed in the area having a plurality of jogs.
