Abstract: A resilient elastic bat grip for baseball and softball bats that covers the knob on the bat handle. The grip has a bulbous shape which is wider then the knob of the baseball bat, and fits snugly in the batter's palm such that the bat is controlled by one or more fingers and swung with the batter's wrist below the end of the bat. The grip does not require all five fingers to hold the bat, and as a result, increases the maneuverability of the wrist which allows greater bat speed and whipping motion. A rounded base enables a single, double or triple finger drop for more bat speed and less wrist rigidity. This also allows added finger support for better control of the head of the bat during the swing as it passes through the power zone.

Abstract: A resilient elastic bat grip that attaches to baseball and softball bats to assist with hand placement, safety, injury prevention, wrist mobility, bat control and bat speed. The grip is stretched over and around the knob at the end of the bat handle. It can be temporarily or permanently attached. An upper ridge provides additional safety by increasing finger hold on the bat. A rounded outer surface ergonomically fits into the wedge of the thumb and crease of the palm increasing the surface area of contact. The elastic grip does not require all five fingers to hold the bat, and as a result, increases the maneuverability of the wrist which allows greater bat speed and whipping motion. The increased surface area of the elastic grip, the upper ridge and the rough textured coating provide greater friction and surface tension throughout the swing thereby increasing safety and control. A rounded base enables a single, double or triple finger drop for more bat speed and less wrist rigidity.

Abstract: A foam panel system which is secured to studs, to conventional drywall, or other support surfaces and an installation kit therefore. The foam panels have a surface that can be prepared to resemble a variety of materials, including brick, stone, wood, artwork, coral, tiles, or even commercial information such as corporate logos, etc. Surface preparation can be accomplished by a computerized laser cutter to cut standard or unique images into the surface of a foam panel. Alternatively, molds can also be prepared with unique patterns or standard designs which are used to create panels by conventional molding techniques. Alternatively, hot dies can be used to impress a variety of surface treatments into a finished or unfinished foam panel. After the surface design is created, it may be dyed or distressed or suit a particular desired design result. Optional precut cable channels can be designed which span one or more foam panel segments to allow cables to be run within a wall with no cutting at the job site.
