Abstract: A goal frame includes a frame. The frame is mounted with a ball net to form a goal when the frame is in an unfolded state. The frame includes support members, at least one connecting member, and posts. The support members are pivotally connected to the connecting member. The connecting member has stop portions corresponding to the support members. When the support members are blocked by the stop portions, the frame is in the unfolded state. When in the unfolded state, the posts are mounted to the support members, respectively. The posts are detachable. The support members are limited by the ball net and the corresponding stop portions to retain the goal frame in the unfolded state. The assembly of the goal frame is simply. The goal frame can be folded quickly and conveniently by pivoting the support members. The cost of the components is low.

Abstract: A constrained frequency resonator is incorporated into the shaft of a striking implement for transferring and, advantageously, amplifying momentum from a striking end to a gripped end of the striking implement, thereby amplifying the sensation of a strike felt at the gripped end. The resonator has a substantially hourglass shape, with wide ends and a narrow waist, and is made of stainless steel or another very hard material. The shape of the resonator causes it to act as a vibration frequency filter that transfers and, preferably, amplifies a certain frequency or band of frequencies. The striking implement may be a golf club, pool cue, or other implement in which frequency transfer to a gripping section is desired.

Abstract: A sound absorbing rebounding device provides a way for a person to practice dribbling a basketball while minimizing sounds and vibrations emanating from the basketball and the device during such practice. The device has a frame, a rebounding surface that mimics or replaces the hard surface on which a user would normally dribble to cause a rebounding effect, and a base to separate or space the rebounding surface from the floor, so that sounds and vibrations during bouncing of the basketball are not transferred to the surface on which the device is resting. The frame shape allows the user to practice dribbling in all different directions around the user's body placed relative to the user's legs, such as a T, an H, or the number 8. The device may be collapsible via hinges placed within its frame that allow the device to be collapsed in varying degrees of compactness.
