Abstract
The invention pertains to a method of installing a grip on a hand held implement. The method includes the steps of providing a grip with a tubular body, closed end, open end, and cup-shaped flange about the open end, deforming the flange so that is is spaced from the tubular body and forms a gap therewith; stretching the flange over a collar of a vacuum chamber; exposing the grip to a vacuum; inserting the hand held implement into the grip; releasing the vacuum; and then severing the cup-shaped flange from the grip.
