Abstract: A sports implement includes a main body portion, a handle portion extending from the main body portion, and a grip member. The main body portion includes a first contact surface, a second contact surface, and a sidewall positioned about a perimeter of each of the first and the second contact surfaces. The handle portion defines a handle central axis extending therethrough. The grip member includes a grip body portion and a grip end portion. The grip body portion is operably coupled with the handle portion. The grip end portion defines a grip central axis extending therethrough. The handle central axis is offset from and parallel to the grip central axis.

Abstract: A sleeve adapted for receiving the solid or hollow end of a sports stick. The sleeve has dorsal and ventral cantle regions each providing a curved support surface for the hand of the athlete when the athlete is gripping the sports stick. The dorsal cantle region and the ventral cantle region each have a radius of curvature in the sagittal plane wherein the radius of curvature of the ventral cantle region is greater than the radius of curvature of the dorsal cantle region.

Abstract: Described is a knob for application to the gripping end of a hollow stick. The knob comprises a rounded, oblique, cylindrical support structure, transitional shaft and tang aligned on a common longitudinal central axis. The support structure comprises a greater diameter rounded, cantle-like support and gripping structures.
