GripIt Rite is one of Spark Innovations latest successful designs. It is a golf training aid that teaches and develops golf's most important fundamental, the perfect grip. GripIt Rite checks, corrects and reinforces a professional grip that will lead to longer, straighter shots. Voted among the top 3 "New Products" at the 2010 PGA Merchandise Show, the GripIt Rite is a one-piece unit that snaps onto your club's grip forcing correct finger and hand placement. A dial alignment indicator aligns with the club face to set up a neutral grip position for a straight shot or to set up a draw or a fade. Spark Innovations developed the GripIt Rite with Henry Brunton, Canadian PGA Master Professional, US Kids Golf Top 50 Kids Teacher and the only Canadian listed among GOLF Magazine's Top 100 Teachers in America.

The neater feeder is another example of Spark Innovations award winning products.
- Winner of the Dog Fancy Magazine Editor's Choice Award
- Cat Fancy Magazine Editor's Choice Award
- Pet Style News Editor's Choice Award
- The Pet Product News Editor's Choice Award
The Neater Feeder is designed with protective walls to contain splashes and spills from an inadvertent kick or an excited pet. This revolutionary system holds spilt food in an upper reservoir while spilt water flows down a gentle slope through a patent-pending filtering system. The spilt water drains into a lower reservoir that can safely contain more than an entire bowl of spilt water keeping it off the floor until you are ready to dispose of it. Keeping the spilt food in the upper reservoir, off the floor, not only saves you work, but also keeps it clean for reuse.

New metal foam that can revolutionize the auto industry.
Mechanical and aerospace engineering professor Afsaneh Rabiei recently invented a new material that is actually stronger than stainless steel but lighter than aluminum. Rabiei's metal foam is primarily made out of hollow steel spheres surrounded by aluminum. According to the following news report, it can absorb seven to eight times the energy absorbed by other similar foams. Almost half a million dollars invested by the National Science Foundation over the last 5 years has just yielded a space age material so light and strong that it makes a 28 mile per hour crash feel like a gentle fender blip at 5 mph.
A metal foam with such a high strength-to-density ratio that it could revolutionize the auto industry. She says it isn't the first metal foam, but hers has tested out as the strongest, partly because it utilizes a metallic matrix to support the cell walls.
