The golf tee marking device can place a notch in a golf tee multiple times and at multiple heights, one height for drivers and another height for irons. The golf tee marking device comprising a housing for inserting and holding a golf tee, at least one lever having means for crimping said golf tee within said housing, when said lever is activated. Wherein said golf tee is positioned in said housing and said lever is activated by a user, said crimping means creates a notch on said golf tee to the correct height of the golf tee.

A baseball bat fabricated from a limb of a tree, procured without harvesting any of the tree's trunk. Because of this technique, the process of the present invention is much less wasteful. Many bats can be fabricated from a single tree, without felling the tree itself. The process of fabrication of the present invention is drawn to working with the properties of the harvested tree limb. In this manner, a billet is fabricated on a lathe with its center placed concentric with the center of the tree limb, thusly concentric with the limb's growth rings. By doing so, the growth rings within the limb will not be bisected during fabrication of the billet. When the billet is further turned on a lathe to shape the billet into a baseball bat, the growth rings within the limb will be minimally bisected, thus increasing the strength of the baseball bat of the present invention, as compared to the baseball bats of the prior art.

The present disclosure provides for a face sheet for resurfacing a pickleball paddle. The face sheet includes a backing having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface, where the first major surface and the second major surface include a patterned texture on at least a portion of the first major surface to provide grip against a surface of a pickleball being struck by the pickleball paddle having the face sheet. The face sheet can further include an adhesive material on at least a portion of the second major surface of the backing, where the adhesive material helps to secure the face sheet to the pickleball paddle.

The present invention relates to a method and a system for manufacturing a board body (10), such as a skateboard, from a blank (20) having an indefinite shape. The blank (20) with the indefinite shape is collected by a handling robot (50). The shape of the blank (20) is scanned in three dimensions by means of a vision system (47) and a virtual image of said blank (20) is stored in a memory and used to calculate a three dimensional cutting path for milling the blank (20) into said board body (10).

Disclosure herein are various forms of hybrid baseball bats comprising a wood shell having a radial wall and an outer radial surface profile defining a baseball bat. The wood shell having a central core with a central surface thereon extending from a distal end of the bat to the proximal end of the bat. The central surface being profiled with a taper that in some embodiments extends entirely through to the proximal end. A fibrous construct is housed in the central core and infiltrated with an epoxy resin for strength, shape adherence and bonding to the central surface. Disclosed are various manufacturing techniques for manufacturing hybrid bats including resin epoxy infiltration from removable or permanent core forced volume displacement means and/or high-pressure two-part epoxy injection means.
