Smart golf putter heads
A golf putter clubhead is designed with a unique structure using a geometry and a balance technology to provide super symmetry, harmony and balance at motion and at rest. The clubhead includes a body with triangular members, a putting face, and optional holes. The triangular form clubhead does not require compensation during the swing thus allowing for greater repetition and simplicity of movement in turn producing performance benefits via consistency. The geometric triangular shape of the clubhead provides an instantly recognizable assistance in proper alignment at the rest position. The body of the clubhead may be hollow and feature inner symmetrical structures to complement the form of the body and to enhance and provide superior weight distribution and balance, thus, providing a performance edge in swing consistency and performance, and allowing for repeatability of the clubhead.
FLOW RESISTANCE INCREASING SWIM WEAR
A device to aid a swimmer in training includes a piece of swimwear and a plurality of flow resistance increasing structures attached to the swimwear. The flow resistance increasing structures include a fill material constructed with a polymerized, monofilament material. The polymerized, monofilament material can include tulle.
CHEST PROTECTOR
The present invention is directed to a chest pad that significantly reduces the occurrence of commotio cordis among athletes. The chest pad may be utilized as a stand-alone chest protector intended to provide coverage primarily for the upper chest wall and the cardiac area. The chest pad may also be implanted into or utilized in traditional chest protectors that provide full coverage of the user's torso. The chest pad of the present invention provides additional protection to the heart of the wearer such that impact in the heart area with a projectile is absorbed by the chest pad.
Glove with elastic wristband
A lightweight, breathable glove for baseball or softball is provided that generally includes a strap that extends over at least a portion of an opening in which a wearer may place his or her hand. The strap is at least partially made of an elastic material so that the strap can extend and contract. The glove may thus have a reduced weight to provide superior ease of use. Further, the conforming fit of the glove provides for enhanced control of the glove, which provides superior utility and performance for the glove, as well as other advantages. Alternatively, the glove may include a thong which may extend from the glove and may engage an elastic band at one of its ends. Thus, the elastic band may engage both the glove and the thong so that the size of the opening can increase and decrease due to the strap and/or elastic band.
System and methods for adjusting variable geometry, height, weight distribution dynamics in orthotic devices and equipment
An active suspension orthotic support system is disclosed. The suspension orthotic support system comprises at least one variable resistance beam extending from a heel section to a mid-arch section of the footwear, wherein rotation of the variable resistance beam from a first position to a second position causes a resistance provided by the variable resistance beam to vary between a minimum resistance to a maximum resistance.
GOLF CLUB HEAD WITH HOSEL HOLE COVER
A golf club head with a hosel hole cover that helps improve the performance of the golf club head is disclosed. More specifically, the present invention relates to a golf club head having a hosel hole cover at a bottom portion of an interchangeable connection system that not only provides improved performance of the golf club head by strategically utilizing an existing opening to adjust the weighting of a golf club head, but it also improves the aerodynamics of the golf club head by eliminating undesirable recesses that could be detrimental to the aerodynamics of a golf club head.
Batting tee
A batting tee and/or hitting training device is provided that includes a platform, a support extending upwardly from the platform and a holder disposed on the support opposite the platform for holding the ball to be hit. The holder includes a lower tubular member and an upper ball-retaining portion that are integrally formed with one another.
Apparatus reducing compensatory leg, ankle and foot movements during heel raise exercises in rehabilitation and fitness
Portable blocks of high density, closed cell foam each with a different height, in progression from shortest to tallest. The taller blocks have tops divided in half width-wise, creating an upper and lower surface. As such, a user engages the blocks with a foot of the user straddling the upper half and the lower half; wherein upon a heel raise of the user upon the block, plantar and dorsiflexion movement is achieved substantially devoid of pronation and supination.
Portable devices for exercising muscles in the ankle, foot, and/or leg, and related methods
A method for exercising muscles in an ankle, foot, and/or leg of a user includes positioning a foot of a user onto a first body of an exercise device. The first body is spaced away from a second body of the device and pivotably connected to the second body of the device at a pivot axis. The pivot axis is adjacent to a central portion of the first body. The method includes rotating the first body about the pivot axis, with the foot, against a first resistive force. Rotating the first body includes subjecting the foot to a first motion. The method includes positioning the foot onto the second body. The method includes rotating the second body about the pivot axis, with the foot, against a second resistive force. Rotating the second body includes subjecting the foot to a second motion, the second motion being different than the first motion.
TRAINING DEVICE FOR STICK-BASED SPORTS
An adjustable flexible device for use in training activities for stick-based sports. The device is comprised of a flexible material provided in a planar surface in a flattened and free state. The device includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a slot located through the material and configured to securely receive the first end. In use, the device is wrapped into a cylindrical shape around the stick and secured in place via the slot and first end coupling. The device material properties provide that it is collapsible.
