Racquet flex control device
An improved racquet handle, such as for a tennis or racquetball racquet, comprised of a flex control device that enables a user to adjust the flexibility of the racquet handle. The increased flexibility of the racquet handle enables a user to impart greater force on a ball, such as a tennis ball, and also dampens or reduces the amount of vibration and/or shock otherwise imparted to the racquet user when the racquet strikes the ball. The flex control device of the present invention is comprised of a fixed insert portion and an interchangeable, removable insert that enables a user to control the amount of the flexibility of the racquet.

TENNIS RACKET HAVING FILLER THEREIN
A tennis racket includes a tubular body and a bridge member. The tubular body has a first tubular member and a second tubular member. The first and second tubular members each have a grip portion, a neck portion, and a frame portion. The interior of the tubular body is divided into a first chamber, a second chamber, and a central chamber by two partition walls disposed in the tubular body. Two fillers are disposed in the first and second chambers respectively. The bridge member is a solid structure connected with the two frame portions of the tubular body. By means of the aforesaid arrangement, the structural strength of the tennis racket is enhanced, and the shock-absorbing effect is provided by the fillers.

HEATED HANDLE FOR SPORTING EQUIPMENT
A heated sports handle for paddles or racquets for use in cold environments. The handle includes a thermoelectric wrap and a power module. The power module can regulate its output to provide sufficient energy to warm the hand of a user of the paddle. The handle includes a housing to provide structural integrity and a filler material to provide shock absorption for the power module during play. A temperature setting of the handle may be adjustable. The power module may be rechargeable, including optionally by wireless means. The handle is configured for communication with a smartphone or similar device.

Handle for sports or work equipment and equipment comprising the handle
A handle for sport equipment comprises a tubular body (7) which extends along a longitudinal axis (L) and has an outer peripheral surface (8) adapted to be grasped by a user and shaped with a plurality of longitudinal faces (9) placed side by side in correspondence of edges (10) adapted to facilitate the positioning of the finger joints of the gripping hand by the user. The edges (10) are arranged along at least one pair of helical or spiral paths that develop around said longitudinal axis (L) with mutually opposite sign to subdivide each of said longitudinal faces (9) into a plurality of areas or flat surfaces (11) sized to accommodate a corresponding phalanx of the gripping hand of the user, each of said areas or flat surfaces (11) being perimetrically delimited by at least one pair of edges (10, 10) of each of the helical or spiral paths.
