Redesigning Zipline handle grip

Playcraft Systems

Introduction

Original Grip

Background

In an update to Playcraft's zipline product, I asked if I could redesign the handle grip. The original grip was a rotomold rubber with concentric grooves for fitting one's fingers. This look was generic, so I explored how we could modernize the look while maintaining functional requirements.
