1. A method of making a grip for use with a handle portion of an article, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a sleeve member comprising a hollow cavity configured to receive at least a portion of the handle portion of the article, the sleeve member comprising ethylene vinyl acetate and defining a first end, a second end and a mounting surface;
providing a gripping member comprising an inner layer comprising ethylene vinyl acetate and an outer layer comprising a first fabric and polyurethane wherein the first fabric is thin relative to the polyurethane with the polyurethane penetrating through the fabric from an outer surface of the fabric to an inner surface of the fabric, the polyurethane and first fabric cooperating to define an inner surface for the outer layer;
joining the inner surface of the outer layer to an outer surface of the inner layer of the gripping member so that the polyurethane forms an interface with a substantial portion of said outer surface of said inner layer and extends beyond the outer surface of the fabric; and
joining the inner layer of the gripping member to the mounting surface of the sleeve member such that the ethylene vinyl acetate of the sleeve member is jointed to the ethylene vinyl acetate of the gripping member.
