Abstract
A formable sports implement, of a fiber and resin composite construction and typically for attachment to a shaft, is capable of being formed to a selected shape using a low cost and simple procedure. Typically, the implement is preheated to a relatively low temperature, formed using low pressure, and allowed to cool. Upon cooling, the formable implement retains its shape, is capable of withstanding the forces of normal sports play, and retains advantages of composite construction.
