    said finger and palm swells forming areas of increased thickness of said grip when said grip is wrapped about said object;

    said finger swell and said palm swell being sufficiently spaced from one another so that said finger swell provides resilient cushioning beneath the fingers of a gripping hand that grips said flexible gripping surface disposed on the object, while said palm swell provides resilient cushioning beneath the palm of the gripping hand;

    fastening elements near said first and second edges of said hand grip apparatus;

    said fastening elements near said first and second edges cooperating with each other to secure said hand grip apparatus about said object;
