  • Publication number: 20240165467
    Abstract: An improved putter grip is provided. The putter grip includes an alignment strip oriented lengthwise on the front-facing surface of the putter grip, the alignment strip widening toward the lower end of the putter grip for placement of the golfer's thumbs. The putter grip includes a polygonal cross-sectional area that increases toward the upper end of the elongated handle, and the butt end is rearwardly offset relative to the longitudinal axis of a shaft opening. In addition, the rear-facing surface of the putter grip is outwardly concave when viewed from a side direction to provide an ergonomic gripping surface for the golfer's non-dominant hand.

  • Publication number: 20240066361
    Abstract: A golf ball retriever adapted to be removably affixed to a putter grip is provided. A grip cap secures the golf ball retriever to an internally threaded port in the putter grip, which functions as a point of attachment for counter weights and other accessories. The golf ball retriever includes folding arms that are movable from a stowed position to a deployed position, forming a claw-like pocket for grasping a golf ball. The folding arms can be manually manipulated from the deployed position to the stowed position for conventional use of the putter or when returning the putter to a golf bag.

  • Publication number: 20220362643
    Abstract: A golf club grip may include a docking tube and an elongated handle. The docking tube may be configured to couple to a golf club shaft and may include a docking tube sidewall. The elongated handle may be detachably couplable to the docking tube. The elongated handle may include an elongated handle sidewall defining an axial opening configured to receive the docking tube. At least one of the docking tube sidewall and the elongated handle sidewall may include a projection and the other of the docking tube sidewall and the elongated handle sidewall may include a channel. The channel may be configured to receive the projection to prevent rotation of the elongated handle relative to the docking tube when the elongated handle is coupled to the docking tube.

  • Patent number: 10295299
    Abstract: A cocking mechanism is disclosed. The cocking mechanism comprises an actuator assembly, a hand crank assembly, and a bow string hook assembly. The actuator assembly further comprises clutch assembly having a bearing housing, a bearing cage, a support axle and bearing elements. The bearing housing is defined by an inner peripheral surface having a plurality of inwardly extending annular ramps, wherein the bearing elements contact a portion of the ramps to prevent rotation of the support axle in a first direction, but allows for rotation of the support axle in a second direction when the actuator assembly is in a locked configuration. This provides for immediate braking action against any unforeseen forward motion of the bow string of a crossbow such as when inadvertently or accidently releasing the removable hand crank assembly during the cocking operation.
