Abstract: A composition for use in sporting grips, and the like, is disclosed. The composition may be used, for example, in making a golf club grip. The disclosed grip provides for improved shock absorption and other beneficial properties.

Abstract: A grip is disclosed herein. The grip includes a closed end, an open end, a composite shell including a laminate composite fiber material, a foam layer, and an elongated cavity. The foam layer is inward of the composite shell. The elongated cavity extends from the open end towards the closed end. The elongated cavity is inward from the outer layer and the foam layer. In embodiments, the grip also includes a core tube inward of the outer layer and of the foam layer. The core tube forms a elongated cavity for receiving a shaft of the club.

Abstract: A golf club head is disclosed that comprises a body having a striking face and a sole, wherein a recess is formed in the sole. An insert is located within the sole recess, the insert including a core and an intermediate layer that at least partially separates the core from the recess wall. The intermediate layer has a hardness and a modulus of elasticity that are less than that of the core, such that when the golf club head is used to strike a golf ball, the resulting vibrations are dissipated by compression of the intermediate layer and movement of the core with respect to the intermediate layer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a set of golf clubs. The clubs are divided into at least a first group and at least a second group of golf clubs. The first group desirably comprises a plurality of club heads each having a main body of low density metallic material. The second group of golf clubs desirably comprises a plurality of club heads each having a main body of higher density metallic material than the density of the metallic material of the main body of each of the heads of the first group. The first group of clubs desirably comprises lower numbered clubs than the second group of clubs.

Abstract: The present invention is a golf club head whose engagement surface is formed between an upper metal piece and a lower metal piece, the upper piece being composed of relatively lighter and less dense material and the lower piece being composed of relatively denser and heavier material. The union of the two pieces is along a single unitary plane. By utilizing this type of design, in which two engagement surfaces of different metallic composition are joined on a single plane to create a continuous engagement surface on the club head, the benefits of improved balance and enhanced performance that result from the lower piece being heavier than the upper piece can be achieved without the need to fit a precisely engineered weight into a precut opening in the golf club head, thus making the manufacture of golf club heads easier and more efficient.

Abstract: A system for mounting a clock's working components and dial mechanism on a support platform to form a self-contained assembly which can be easily installed and removed from an enclosure. A clock movement supporting the working components is releasably supported from one side of a rigid, shaped mounting bracket for precise alignment with the dial mechanism which is releasably supported from the opposite side of the bracket by a plurality of dial posts. Attachment of the bracket to the dial panel mounts the movement and dial mechanism as a unit, and the dial panel is mounted on receiving fasteners for easy installation and removal. The bracket is fabricated to close tolerances to ensure alignment of critical components and consistent spacing between the movement and dial mechanism, and is sufficiently rigid to maintain these alignments and spacing and to sustain forces imposed upon the clock during handling and shipment.
