Abstract
Game apparatus, e.g., a game racquet or a golf club, with selectively variable and maintainable weight distribution, e.g. by moving material (e.g., liquid and/or solid weight members) within or on the apparatus and selectively positioning the weight(s) and maintaining weight position in or on the apparatus; in one aspect, the game apparatus having dual opposed channels for weight members; and in one aspect a set of a plurality of weight members for connection to a game apparatus.
Claims15
A game apparatus comprising a body with a first portion for holding by hand and a second portion for hitting a ball;
- the first portion having a first end distal from the second portion and a second end adjacent the second portion;
- the first portion having a channel therethrough from the first end to the second end;
- the second portion having a space therein, the second portion having a space opening in communication with the space and with the second end of the first channel of the first portion;
- weight material movably disposed for movement in and through the first channel and into and from the space of the second portion;
- said movement including movement from the first end of the first channel, to and through the space opening, and into the space of the second portion;
- and said movement including movement from the space of the second portion, to and through the space opening, into the first channel, and to the first end of the first channel;
- and said movement initiated by manipulation of the body to subject the weight material to force that moves the weight material.
A game racquet comprising a body, part of the body defining a body opening therethrough, the body opening defined by a first side of the body and a second side of the body, the first side opposite the second side, the body having a top, the body opening having a bottom, a plurality of strings over the body opening, dual opposed channels adjacent the body opening comprising a first body channel and a second body channel, the first body channel in the first side and the second body channel in the second side, the first body channel extending within the body from the top of the body to the bottom of the body opening, the second body channel extending within the body from the top of the body to the bottom of the body opening, a weight member is not passable from the first body channel to the body second channel, a first weight member movably disposed within the first body channel, a second weight member movably disposed within the second body channel, movement of each weight member within its respective channel initiated by manipulation of the body to subject the weight material to force that moves the weight material.
