Abstract
A grip for displaying information on sports equipment having a gripping end includes a bottom layer overlaying the gripping end, an intermediate layer having textual information or a design placed thereon, and a substantially transparent top layer overlaying the intermediate and bottom layers. The intermediate layer faces outwardly from the bottom layer such that the information is visible, and is protected from damage by the top layer. Integral rib and groove structures may be used to assist in securing the top and bottom layers to one another. A weighted end cap may assist in providing a balanced feel to the equipment.
