Abstract
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 is inserted at a specific flex point along the length of the sports or utility striking implement to permit a desired degree of flexure, with an enhanced leverage effect, and to absorb undesired vibrational energy. Typical sports or utility striking implements utilizing the invention include, but are not limited to, golf clubs, hockey sticks, polo clubs, tennis rackets, racket ball rackets, baseball bats, pole vaults, rowing oars, picks, axes, hammers, and the like.
