The device is made from a polymeric material with a weight enclosed therein.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A sport-specific training and conditioning device for a sport using a handheld implement having a grip portion, the device comprising a handle section shaped like the grip portion of the implement, the handle section having first and second ends, and a weight section at the second end of the handle section, the center of mass of the device being less than about 18 inches from the first end of the handle, the device being formed of a polymeric material with a weight enclosed in the polymeric material in the weight section.  
     
     
         2 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 1  wherein the device is molded from a polymeric material, with the weight embedded in the polymeric material in the weight section.  
     
     
         3 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 1  wherein the handle section and the weight section are formed in at least two pieces which interfit to form a chamber in the weight section for receiving the weight.  
     
     
         4 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 1  wherein the center of mass of the device is less than about 13 inches from the first end of the handle.  
     
     
         5 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 1  wherein the center of mass of the device is less than about 13 inches from the first end of the handle, but past the graspable portion of the handle.  
     
     
         6 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 1  wherein the weight has a diameter of less than about 4 inches.  
     
     
         7 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 1  wherein the weight has a length of less than about 4 inches.  
     
     
         8 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 1  wherein the device weighs more than the hand-held implement used in the sport.  
     
     
         9 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 1  wherein the handle is shaped like the grip portion of a bat.  
     
     
         10 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 1  wherein the handle is shaped like the grip portion of a racket.  
     
     
         11 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 10  wherein the grip is shaped like the grip portion of a tennis racket.  
     
     
         12 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 1  wherein the handle section is shaped like the grip portion of a golf club.  
     
     
         13 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 1  wherein the handle section is shaped like the grip portion of a hockey stick.  
     
     
         14 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 1  wherein the handle section is less than about 10 inches long.  
     
     
         15 . A sport-specific training and conditioning device for a sport using a handheld implement having a grip portion, the device comprising a handle section and a weight section, the handle section shaped like the grip portion of the implement, and having first and second ends and being less than about 10 inches long, and the weight section being disposed on the second end of the handle section, the device being formed of a polymeric material with a weight enclosed by the polymeric handle on the weight section, the center of mass of the weight being less than about 13 inches from the first end of the handle section.  
     
     
         16 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 15  wherein the device is molded from a polymeric material, with the weight embedded in the polymeric material in the weight section.  
     
     
         17 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 15  wherein the handle section and the weight section are formed in at least two pieces which interfit to form a chamber in the weight section for receiving the weight.  
     
     
         18 . The sport-specific training and conditioning device according to  claim 15  wherein the center of mass of the device is not located on the handle section.
