Try a little WD40... makes nearly anything rubber slippery while wet &
loses the slipperiness when dry. Old trick to get motorcycle grips on
the handlebars. Also works for golf club grips (with double stick tape
under them)... be sure they get a couple days to dry thoroughly before
swinging hard, tho..... whoops, quantum leap. ;-)
