Abstract: A grip is described in which longitudinal cavities are formed within the grip. The grip may be used on a golf club or tennis racket. When a golf club or racket strikes a ball, the club or racket undergoes an opposing force. This opposing force may produce various torsional or rotational vibrations within the club or racket. These forces can cause discomfort and damage to joints. The cavities act to permit material between the cavities to deform, preferentially dampening high frequency torsional vibrations and isolating the user. The cavities may also be formed to permit a user to experience low frequency oscillations while preferentially dampening the higher frequency vibrations that cause discomfort and pain. In this manner, users may experience much of the low frequency vibrations that are indicative of striking quality while avoiding discomfort associated with poor striking.

Abstract: A projectile firing gun or weapon barrel is adapted with a gas porting system having conduits and outlets specifically configured and positioned for maximizing reductions in muzzle jump and recoil. Principles of reverse thrust are maximized to reduce muzzle jump by incorporating porting holes located toward the butt end of the barrel, which porting holes are in fluid communication with gas conduits terminating in upwardly directed openings for maximizing the generation of downward thrust forces. Venting explosion gases in a substantially upward direction maximizes downward vector thrust force to counteract muzzle jump. Venting the explosion gases at the butt end of the barrel maximizes the duration of thrust forces as gases are vented well prior to the projectile exiting the barrel. The conduits may be configured with nozzle outlets so as to redirect and concentrate the escaping gases thereby maximizing the forces to counter muzzle jump and recoil.
