A golf club grip includes a hollow tapered body having a front surface and a generally opposed rear surface defining a depth dimension therebetween, and first and second side surfaces respectively extending between and connecting the front and rear surfaces and defining a width dimension between outer extents thereof. At least the front surface of the golf club grip is planar, while the side surfaces are preferably radiused. The body includes an upper portion, an intermediate portion, and a lower portion, with the upper and intermediate portions, in combination, extending at least 60% of the body length from the second end, with at least the upper and intermediate portions of the body having a width dimension to depth dimension ratio of at least 1.1:1.
