The handle is coupled to the head. The neck that extends substantially between the head and the handle. Additionally, the neck cover is selectively positionable substantially about the neck to provide a smooth transition between the head and the handle. The neck cover includes an engineered surface formed from at least one of rubber, polymer, foam, composites and plastic. Additionally, the neck cover can include an ergonomically formed outer surface that can be selectively gripped by the hand of the user. For example, the outer surface can be shaped to fit into a crease between a palm and forefingers of the hand of the user. |
