A golf club grip includes a cylinder, a plurality of threads formed on in the outer surface of the cylinder, and a plurality of covers wound spaced apart around the cylinder. The process comprises partially hydrolyzing an aqueous slurry of a pretreated lignocellulosic feedstock with cellulase enzymes, one or more than one \u03b2-glucosidase enzyme and a binding agent for binding the \u03b2-glucosidase enzyme to fiber solids present in the aqueous slurry. The gelatinous material can include a metallic second phase suspended in the gelatinous material, to improve its thermal conductivity.
