  • Patent number: 5064198
    Abstract: A device for use by a golfer during a putting stroke.When putting, the strap is used by placing the adjustable wristband on the wrist of the trailing hand of the putting stroke. The finger strap is wrapped around the middle finger of the same hand with the wrist comfortably flexed to allow for the holding of the putter shaft. This fixed position will also freeze the movement of the other wrist and force the player to putt with a pendulum-like motion of the hand, arms and shoulders.

  • Patent number: 5058890
    Abstract: The instant invention relates to a bat swing speed and power enhanced comprised of a cylindrical member having two sets of a plurality of spaced apart wing elements extending from its surface in a pattern about the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical member. The wings of each set are attached to the cylindrical member at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical member and being equally spaced about the longitudinal axis of the member.

  • Patent number: 4795163
    Abstract: The champion perfect passer is an instructional device used to teach the skill of the forearm bump pass for the sport of volleyball.The passer is used by placing the fixed sleeves on the users biceps, and reaching the hands forward to grasp the moveable ball with thumbs together on top of the ball and rolling them over to a position where they contact the rod at its front with the tips of the thumbs. Fingers on both hands are clasped under the rod and pull up against the rod. This causes the arms to assume the proper passing position, and will not allow for the elbows to bend which is the most difficult bad habit to break in volleyball. All normal volleyball bump passing drills are completed with the passer in place and the student is taught proper form and body position.
