  • HIGH PERFORMANCE NANO-METAL HYBRID FISHING TACKLE
    Publication number: 20120058263
    Abstract: Fishing tackle is coated with nanostructured material to modify and improve the performance. The fishing tackle includes a fishing rod which is coated adjacent a first end section, in a middle section, adjacent a second end section, or over an entire surface to improve the action, power or any performance characteristic and/or decrease weight, The fishing tackle includes a fishing reel which is coated in whole or part with a nanostructured material to improve strength, corrosion resistance or performance and/or decrease weight. The fishing tackle includes a fishing rod guide which is coated with a nanostructured material to improve performance and/or decrease weight. The area of coverage and thickness of the material coated on each component of the fishing tackle can be changed, as stipulated by design criterion.

  • BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL BATS WITH FUSED NANO-STRUCTURED METALS AND ALLOYS
    Publication number: 20110036724
    Abstract: A sports bat, such as a baseball or softball bat, is electro-deposited with a nanostructured metal. Bats made from aluminum alloys or other metals may be electro-deposited with varying thicknesses of nanostructured metals such as nickel, nickel iron, cobalt phosphorous, or similar materials. The bat substrate alloy can be any metal or alloy. The coating may be done using an electro-deposition process.

  • High performance nano-structured metalwood golf club heads and iron heads and components thereof
    Publication number: 20090312118
    Abstract: A metalwood coated at least partially with a nanostructure material offer improved performance over existing golf club heads made from a combination of steel and titanium alloys or composite club heads made in part or wholly from fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) and metallic sub-components. The components of the metalwood may be coated with variable thicknesses of electro-deposited nanostructure metals and alloys.
