<p>Striking implements that have an improved ability to store and quickly release significant energy during flexure and at the same time have significant vibration damping capability to impart a desired 'feel' to the user. A shape memory alloy element (8) is inserted at a specific flex point along the length of the sports implement to permit a desired degree of flexure, with an enhanced leverage effect, and to absorb undesired vibrational energy.</p> |
