it will be appreciated that it is not essential for the audio feedback devices to be made separate from the instrument it is within the scope of this invention to mould or otherwise form the audio feedback devices as part of the sports implement and the devices will be so formed during the manufacture of the sports implement where the sports implement is manufactured using a moulding process the necessary grooves and ridges can easily be formed during that moulding process alternatively the sound producing formations can be cut into the sports implement after the forming of the implement one advantage of having the audio feedback device as a tubular member separate from the sports implement itself is that the ends of the audio feedback device can be twisted relative to each other about the tubular member axis to provide a helical form to the device the sound produced by the device as the sports implement is swung through the air will be substantially reduced as a result of this twisted configuration and accordingly this twisting capability will provide an 34 on off 34 feature for the device if it is desired to reduce the sound made by the device a limited twist can be applied to the ends of the device which will reduce the sound provided by the device to that selected by the user it will be appreciated that there is a direct relationship between the dimensions and forms of the ridges on.
