No solace, but Swix cork grips are typically made with two seams, which
apparently is why they are so flimsy.

I recently left the cork portion of my pole handle on the Birken

As an alternative, I still have the functional plastic portion of the
grip. What could I place in the hand-hold portion of the handle to
fill it like the cork?

Thanks for your help

I feel your pain! I've lost the cork portion of swix grips more than
once, but luckily stopped and picked up the pieces both times. My
daughter wasn't so smart/lucky and lost the cork on hers. There is no
alternative that I have found to buying a new grip. That's
unfortunate because they are absurdly expensive.

I tried to fashion a replacement piece of cork for my daughter's from
a sheet of cork material I have in the garage (gasket material). It
wouldn't work because the cork on the grip is actually sculpted or
molded to a varying thickness. You might be able to cobble something
together if you're more clever than I am.
