the bottom thereof see fig4 the amount of moisture absorbing material to be used is not critical the amount should be sufficient to ensure that enough moisture absorbing material 18 is used so that virtually the entire handgrip 15 is contacted by the moisture absorbing material when handgrip drying device 10 is shaken inverted or otherwise rotatated so as to dry handgrip 15 handgrip 15 is inserted into handgrip drying device 10 so that end 15 a thereof first enters handgrip drying device 10 and substantially all of handgrip 15 is enclosed in tubular body 11 velcro strip 12 is then pressed together so that it locks securely around shaft 16 as illustrated in fig5 and closes top 20 of handgrip drying device 10 handgrip drying device 10 can then be shaken inverted or rotated to produce contact between moisture absorbing material 18 and handgrip 15 after such shaking and rotation as is desired handgrip 15 may be removed immediately from handgrip drying device 10 or alternatively it may be retained inside handgrip drying device 10 until the equipment is to be used when handgrip 15 is removed from tubular body 11 the hook and loop velcro strip 12 at the open end helps to brush off any moisture absorbing material 18 that may still be adhered to handgrip 15 another advantageous feature not illustrated is to have terry cloth or other rough material within tubular body 11 to assist in removal of moisture absorbing material from.
