GOLF CLUB HEADS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS
Examples of golf clubs and methods to manufacture golf clubs are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club may include a golf club head, a hosel portion, and a shaft. The hosel portion may be positioned rearward of a center of gravity of the body portion. The shaft portion may be coupled to the hosel portion and may have a first shaft portion and a second shaft portion. The first shaft portion may extend from the hosel portion and tilt toward the face portion with no lateral tilt toward a toe portion or a heel portion of the body portion. The second shaft portion may extend from the first shaft portion toward the heel portion and toward a face portion of the body portion. Other examples of golf club heads and methods to manufacture the same may be described and claimed.
STICK WEIGHT SUPPORT
Embodiments of a stick weight assembly for use within a shaft of a golf club, wherein the shaft includes a shaft inner surface defining a shaft bore, the stick weight assembly comprising: a stick weight comprising: a rod sized for insertion into the shaft bore, the rod having a top end and a bottom end, wherein the top end defines an outer top end geometry; a disk coupled to the rod bottom end and sized to abut a tip end of the shaft; and a stick weight support comprising: a first end; a second end; a first portion having an outer surface defining a dome wherein the dome is sized for insertion into the shaft; a second portion coupled to the first portion comprises an outer surface and a plurality of ridges projecting outward from the outer surface and sized to engage the shaft inner surface; wherein the stick weight support defines a cavity extending from the second end towards the first end, wherein the cavity is configured to receive the top end of the rod.

Apparatus for connecting shaft portions of sports equipment
The present invention provides an apparatus for connecting shaft portions of sports equipment comprising a first shaft portion of sports equipment; a second shaft portion of sports equipment; a locking means for mounting the first and second shaft portions; the locking means comprising a locking ring, an extending member and a first receiver means; the extending member mounted to the second shaft portion; the first receiver means comprising a hollow portion adapted for receiving the first portion of the extending member; the first receiver means mounted to the first shaft portion; the locking ring rotatable mounted on the extending member; the extending member comprising a first portion which is removable mounted to the first receiver means; and the first portion adapted for restricting the rotational movement of the extending member inside the first shaft portion.
BALANCE POINT ALIGNMENT FOR GOLF SHAFTS AND GOLF CLUBS
A shaft for a golf club includes a first end, a second end, and a demarcation. The first end is adapted to attach to a club head. The second end is adapted to receive a grip distal to the first end. The demarcation is positioned at or adjacent to the balance point of the golf club between the first end and the second end.
Hockey stick with nanofiber reinforcement
A construct for a hockey stick formed from layers of fiber tape and a reinforcing nanofiber material. The nanofiber is integrated into the molded hockey stick to increase the strength and toughness of inter-laminar bonds between the fiber tape. The nanofiber may include carbon nanotubes.
ADJUSTABLE PUTTER SHAFT STIFFENER
A golf club has a first shaft coupled to a club head, a second shaft configured to slidably engage a portion of the first shaft, a grip coupled to the second shaft, and an adjustable length shaft assembly received by the second shaft and configured to allow a portion of the first shaft to slide in relation to the second shaft in a first configuration, and to restrict a portion of the first shaft from sliding in relation to the second shaft in a second configuration. The grip is restricted from rotation about the first shaft or the second shaft as the first shaft slides in relation to the second shaft.
DIVOT REPAIR TOOL
A divot repair tool comprising a shaft having a first end and a second end, the shaft having a handle at the first end of the shaft and a divot head having one or more prongs at the second end of the shaft wherein the second end the shaft is fused to the divot head, a method of using the divot repair tool to repair divots, comprising embedding one or more prongs from the divot head into turf beneath the divot, applying a leveraging motion to the handle and lifting the turf and a method of using the divot repair tool to retrieve golf balls, comprising applying one or more prongs from said divot head underneath one or more golf balls and scooping said golf balls upward.
