The present invention provides an anti-rotational element, in the form of an adapter, a member integrated into the shaft or integrated into the head that increasing the front-to-back dimension of the stick compared to the side-to-side width dimension of the stick. The increased front-to-back dimension increases the anti-rotational torque that a lacrosse player, particularly a goalie, can generate. As a result, the goalie can prevent the stick from rotating in their hands when shots are off center relative to the longitudinal axis of the shaft thereby allowing the goalie to make saves that would otherwise result in a goal. The invention also aids in instructing goalies to avoid too tightly gripping the stick, which slows a goalies reaction time for a save.

The present disclosure relates to a shaft for athletic activities comprising, along at least a part of the length of the shaft: an internal wall (31) made of a first fiber-reinforced composite; and an external wall (30), fixed to the internal wall, and made of a second fiber-reinforced composite, wherein one or more cavities (32A, 32B, 32C) are present between the internal wall and the external wall.

A putter type golf club includes a putter head with a ball striking face, a shaft attached to said putter head, and an elongated grip attached to the shaft. The elongated grip includes a lower section, an upper section and a cap forming a butt section at the upper area of the grip, the lower section of the elongated grip including a shaft opening at a lower end thereof, the lower section of the elongated grip structured to accommodate the hands of a golfer, the upper section of the elongated grip having a leading edge located in a direction toward and closest to an intended target with the putter head in a normal position prior to executing a normal putting stroke.

A baseball grip training device is provided for use with a baseball bat, comprising a base adapted to contact a bat grip, wherein the base includes one or more shaped surfaces adapted to receive one or more of an index finger and a middle finger of a user; a retaining member extending from the base shaped to surround one or more of the index finger and the middle finger of the user; and a bat contacting surface adapted to contact the bat grip, wherein the bat contacting surface and the shaped surfaces are separated by a predetermined distance to lift the index finger and the middle finger of the user away from the bat grip sufficient to place greater reliance on the remaining fingers to hold the bat grip during a swing of the bat. The device is preferably constructed from a resilient material.

Provided is a table tennis racket comprising a blade, a handle, and a thumb support part at which at least a portion of a thumb contact part of a blade flat surface protrudes upward from the flat surface of the blade so as to form a protruding part.

Shooting accuracy in archery may be greatly improved by increasing the precision and repeatability in which an archer establishes “anchor points,” which are contact points between the archer and a drawn bow and arrow at a moment of launch. One such contact point is the hand gripping the bow grip. The invention provides a bow grip aid which enables an archer to repeatably grip the same location of the bow grip and maintain consistent grip firmness from one shot to the next. Reducing variances of this aspect of the archer's form benefits the archer by reducing variances between the archer's sighting process and determination of point of aim, and the impact point of the arrow on its target. The invention helps archers grip a bow more consistently so they can consistently place each arrow where they want it to go.

A handgrip for placement about an elongated member is disclosed. The handgrip includes a resilient body member having an arcuate gripping surface adapted to conform to the outer surface of the elongated member. A plurality of outwardly extending curvilinear projections are adapted to conform to the shape of a hand of a user. A finger engaging member extends from the resilient body member. The finger engaging member is adapted to retain the handgrip on the hand of a user after the elongated member is released.

A portable cocking practice device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a first shaft part having a hollow therein and having an opening at one end thereof, which is connected to the hollow; a second shaft part inserted and fixed into the hollow of the first shaft part through the opening of the first shaft part over the entire length or a part of the length thereof; and an rod withdrawing part received inside the second shaft part so as to withdraw a given rod out of the second shaft part by an uncocking operation of a golf swing, thereby improving a user's convenience and portability while increasing similarity to the actual golf swing and enabling a cocking practice according to each golf club.
