<p>HOCKEY STICK PRACTICE WEIGHT Although practice weights exist for golf clubs and baseball bats, they cannot readily be adapted for use on hockey sticks because baseball bats and golf club handles increase in diameter from the butt end towards the head end and are circular in cross section so that the practice weight usually is a doughtnut shaped device with a central aperture which is slipped over the end of the handle and secured therealong by wedging action. Centrifugal force during practice swings, increases this wedging action. Hockey sticks are not only rectangular in cross section but decrease in size from the butt end towards the blade. Furthermore, the butt end is always heavily taped making it impossible to engage and disengage this type of weight over the handle. The present device is U-shaped to engage the hockey stick shaft or handle anywhere along the length thereof, and is clamped in position by means of clamp screws. A flexible cover is secured by one end thereof to one side of said weight and is wrapped around the weight to cover the clamp screws and the weight and overlaps the one end and is fastened thereto by means of detachable friction fastening means.</p> |
