A handgrip, such as a golf club grip, having non-slip features is formed from a silicone rubber composition comprising an organopolysiloxane gum, a silica filler material, an organosilicone processing aid, a texturizing material, and a quantity of hollow spheres. The texturizing material and spheres are first blended into the composition while heating the composition. The rubber composition is then placed in a suitable mold and cured with a peroxide catalyst to form the handgrip. The external surface of the cured handgrip is buffed to fracture the hollow spheres nearest the surface and improve the non-slip character of the handgrip. The spheres may be of epoxy, ceramic or metallic material or of glass. <IMAGE>
