Abstract: A bow comprises a body, two branches mounted on the body, and a string stretched between the two free ends of the branches. The body of the invention is made up of two distinct pieces that are fixed to each other, namely:a) a front piece (2) whose end portions (2") are designed to receive the flexible branches; andb) a back piece (3) whose front face (3a) has the same profile as the back face (2a) of the front piece (2) so that it can be applied snugly against the back face (2a), and whose back face (3b) is locally shaped to form a grip (4). In addition, the side faces of the back piece (3) are in alignment with the side faces of the front piece (2), and the front piece (2) and the rear piece (3) are made of different materials and/or have different densities.

Abstract: A golf club with a head provided, on its upper part, with a neck on which is affixed the lower part of a handle by the neck and the handle fitting into each other. The base of the contact surface of the golf club, between the external side of the neck and the internal side of the handle, is distant from the base of the neck, by which the latter connects to the upper part of the head, at a predetermined length which is equal to that which will eventually be subjected to bending.
