A sheath for an article of athletic equipment having a shaft, which includes a cap and a rolled sheath. The cap is mounted on the free end of the athletic equipment and the sheath is unrolled onto the shaft to the desired length or the entire length of the shaft. The cap and sheath are preferably made from injection molded rubber, neoprene of other polymers that permit production in various thickness, colors and lengths. The elasticity of the material preferably gives it memory and durability. The diameter of the sheath is preferably smaller than the diameter of the shaft of the athletic equipment so that it stretches to a tight fit. After the sheath is unrolled to the desired length, excess material may be cut off, if desired. |

A device for launching an object which includes a flexible shaft having a distal end and a proximal end and a handle located at the proximal end sized to enable a user to grip the device while launching an object. An object gripping claw is located at the distal end of the flexible shaft, the gripping claw including first and second flanges which together define a capture volume for an object, the first flange being a stationary post and the second flange being a flexible web extending from the flexible shaft, the second flange being sufficiently flexible to deform in retaining an object within the capture volume and to release an object for launching when the flexible shaft is swung in a forward circular path. |

A device for launching and catching an object is provided. The device may include a body having an inlet, an outlet, and a channel therebetween. A propulsion mechanism may be housed within the body and include a motor. The propulsion mechanism may receive an object traveling at a first speed within the channel and from the inlet and to adjust the speed of the object to a second speed enroute to the outlet such that the object is launched into the air. A receiving funnel defined by the body may catch the object as the object descends such that the object is directed back into the inlet. A method of playing a catch game is also provided which may include one or more devices for launching and catching an object. |

A projectile launching device, which preferably includes a main body, a handle, a plunger, a plunger handle, and a projectile chamber. The plunger handle is connected to the plunger and preferably located proximate the rear of the main body. The invention is fabricated in such a way that allows the user to grasp the handle, pull the plunger handle towards them, and launch a projectile away from them. Preferably, the projectiles launched are spherical. In addition, the handle is preferably hollow In order to act as spare projectile storage. Preferably, the projectile is launched using a burst of air. The burst of air is created when the-user pulls back on the plunger handle and releases it. |

The automated ball-throwing device includes a housing defining a first distal end with a ball-dropping bowl. The ball-dropping bowl is adapted to receive a ball therein. The ball-dropping bowl includes an inclined surface that extends downwardly to an interior of the housing. The interior of the housing includes a first set of guide rails that extend in parallel relationship with a portion of the inclined surface. A second set of guide rails and a conveyor belt are located inside of the housing. The second set of guide rails and the conveyor belt align adjacent to a third distal end of the inclined surface. A ball is able to roll down the inclined surface, and onto the conveyor belt. The first set of guide rails and the second set of guide rails aid the ball through the interior of the housing. |

A device for training users to utilize proper mechanics when throwing a football includes an open-ended glove having a slot communicating with a compartment that is sized to receive an arched insert plate. When the glove is worn by a user, the arched insert plate permits flexion of the user's wrist while preventing extension of the user's wrist, unless sufficient force is applied. When throwing a football, the arched insert plate prevents the user's wrist from improperly extending backwards during the follow-through motion of throwing a football. A padded spacer is included on the surface of the palmar portion of the glove for encouraging the user to properly grip the football using primarily his or her fingertips. |
