Publication number: 20160220875Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described herein to provide a golf club, such as, for example, a putter, with adjustment features that can be used to adjust the golf club to have a select loft angle and/or a select lie angle. In some embodiments, an adjustable golf club can be adapted to have one or more site alignment members coupled to a head of the adjustable golf club. The site alignment member(s) can include markings or patterns visible to a golfer that can be used to aid the golfer with alignment of the golf club relative to a ball or target. In some embodiments, a site alignment member is provided that can be adapted to be coupled to an existing golf club. For example, in some embodiments, an alignment adapter platform can be used to couple a selected site alignment member to a club head of a golf club.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2016Publication date: August 4, 2016Inventors: Vikash Sanyal, David Stuart Cooper, JR., Jeffrey D.

Patent number: 9387379Abstract: In some embodiments, a golf club includes a reversible grip that that is universal to dexterity and can be used on a golf club configured for both right-handed golfers and left-handed golfers. Such a reversible golf club grip can provide the golf club with an identical grip configuration without removing the grip from the shaft of the golf club. In some embodiments, a reversible golf club grip as described herein can be used on an adjustable golf club such that as the orientation of the golf club shaft is reversed between a right-handed and left-handed dexterity, the grip can be used for either orientation without being repositioned on the shaft. In some embodiments, a reversible golf club grip can be configured to promote a traditional hands placement on the golf club grip in both right-handed and left-handed orientations.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2015Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Inventors: Vikash Sanyal, David Stuart Cooper, Jeffrey D.

Publication number: 20050067780Abstract: A system that includes a plurality of toy blocks and a method for reconfiguring one or more of the plurality of toy blocks. The method including taking off a first removable wrap from the one of the plurality of toy blocks so as to separate the first removable wrap from a core of the one of the plurality of toy blocks. The first removable wrap includes content associated with a first area of subject matter. The method also includes placing a second removable wrap around the core, the second removable wrap including content associated with a second area of subject matter. In variations of the invention, some of the cores include an instability feature, which imparts an instability when the toy block is positioned in a predetermined orientation with respect to one or more other toy blocks.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2004Publication date: March 31, 2005Inventors: Vikash Sanyal, Juli Sanyal

Publication number: 20050064379Abstract: An educational system and method, which may incorporate features of a book, a block game, and/or a puzzle, with the purpose of teaching various principles or lessons. The inventive system includes a plurality of pieces of potentially different geometric shapes. The pieces are sequential in nature and each block is associated with a portion of the story. As part of the story, a participant is asked various questions, allowing the participant to test their instincts and/or knowledge. Based on the decisions that are made, different faces of the blocks are set down. If the correct decisions are made, the end result is a structure, which by its textual, graphical, and/or sculptural appearance, as a whole, communicates an idea or concept. In variations of the invention, each piece has an instability feature, and when the participant incorrectly answers a question, the participant is directed to orient the piece in such a way with respect to one or more other pieces that an unstable structure is created.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2004Publication date: March 24, 2005Inventors: Vikash Sanyal, Juli L.

Patent number: 5938543Abstract: A multiple density golf club head including a heel formed of a dense metallic material, a toe formed of a dense metallic material and a center segment formed of a non-metallic material is provided. The non-metallic material of the center segment has a density substantially less than the metallic material comprising the heel or the toe. The materials in the heel, toe and center segment extend for the entire depth of the club head. The positioning of the higher density regions at the heel and toe of the golf club provides for desirable heel-toe weighting characteristics. Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing a golf club head in accordance with the present invention. The method incorporates various manufacturing techniques into a cost effective process for manufacturing the club head of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1997Date of Patent: August 17, 1999Assignee: Never Compromise, Inc.Inventors: James P. McGeeney, Thomas C. Morris, Vikash Sanyal
