The disclosure relates to the technical field of pickleball, and specifically to a pickleball racket.
A pickleball sport is a sport of hitting a ball with a racket. It started from Benburich Island in Seattle, USA. The pickleball sport is a mixed sport of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. For the amount of exercise, the pickleball sport is more relaxed, pleasant, and flexible than a badminton sport and a table tennis sport. Therefore, the pickleball sport is better than the badminton sport and the table tennis sport in physical exercise, and the amount of exercise of the pickleball sport is less than that of the tennis sport. Tennis enthusiasts who are not used to playing tennis and whose physical strength declines rapidly are suitable for playing pickleball as a regular exercise item, and the pickleball sport is suitable for all ages.
In the pickleball sport, a racket is one of main tools used in this sport. The racket mainly includes a racket handle and a racket frame connected to the racket handle, and the racket frame is provided with a racket surface for hitting the pickleball. Existing pickleball rackets need to improve their shock absorption effects and areas for controlling the pickleball.
The purpose of the disclosure is to provide a pickleball racket with a better shock absorption effect and better control performance.

Referring to
Specifically, the end of the racket handle 1 connected to the racket body 2 is provided with the first wavy concave-convex structures 3, which is more conducive to grip and provides good stability, while also provides a shock absorption effect and helps to reduce the impact on a wrist and an arm when swinging the pickleball racket. The racket body 2 is provided with the second wavy concave-convex structures 4 corresponding to the first wavy concave-convex structures 3, which can make the connection between the racket handle 1 and the racket body 2 more stable, while also enhances the structural strength of the pickleball racket. The first wavy concave-convex structures 3 of the racket handle 1 are closely connected to the second wavy concave-convex structures 4 of the racket body 2, which helps to improve the stability and control performance of the pickleball racket. The second wavy concave-convex structures 4 of the racket body 2 increase an area for controlling a pickleball, and the pickleball racket can provide better control performance based on the increased area, which is more conducive for a player to control a direction and a speed of the pickleball. The racket handle 1 is connected to the racket body 2 by bonding.
Furthermore, the racket handle 1 includes a grip part 5 for gripping and a connecting part 6 for connecting the racket body 2. The connecting part 6 and the grip part 5 are integrated into one body using a mold.
Specifically, the grip part 5 is a part gripped by the player and is a main area for holding the racket, which provides a comfortable and stable gripping, so that the player can better control the pickleball racket. The connecting part 6 is configured for connecting the racket handle 1 and the racket body 2, that is, the first wavy concave-convex structures 3 of the racket handle 1 are used for connection. The integral molding means that the connecting part 6 and the grip part 5 are connected together without obvious division. By integrally molding the grip part 5 and the connecting part 6 based on a mold, a more stable connection can be provided, and the overall structural strength of the pickleball racket can be enhanced, so that the pickleball racket can be more durable in the pickleball sport, and at the same time, it is also helpful to maintain a tight connection between the racket handle 1 and the racket body 2.
Furthermore, the number of the first wavy concave-convex structures 3 is not less than two, the number of the second wavy concave-convex structures 4 is not less than two, the first wavy concave-convex structures 3 are arranged side by side in a continuous manner, and the second wavy concave-convex structures 4 are arranged side by side in a continuous manner.
Specifically, the above design enhances the stability of the connection between racket handle 1 and the racket body 2, provides a better shock absorption effect, and also increases the pickleball control area of the racket body 2, and provides the player with a better user experience.
The pickleball racket of the disclosure further includes a wrapping layer 8 configured to wrap the racket handle 1 and the racket body 2.
Specifically, the wrapping layer 8 is a layer covering the surfaces of the racket handle 1 and the racket body 2, and is configured for completely wrapping the racket handle 1 and the racket body 2. The wrapping layer 8 can be made of coating, rubber, synthetic material or other suitable materials. By providing the wrapping layer 8, the following effects can be achieved: the wrapping layer 8 can provide a better gripping surface, so that the player can grasp the pickleball racket more firmly. The wrapping layers 8 can also protect the surfaces of the bracket handle 1 and the racket body 2 from damages, abrasion or other external factors. The wrapping layer 8 may also provide a comfortable feel and reduce discomfort to the player when holding the pickleball racket.
Furthermore, the racket body includes at least one racket plate 9, in other words, the racket body includes at least one plate structure. Two ends of each racket plate 9 are provided with upper wavy concave-convex structures 10 and lower wavy concave-convex structures 11 respectively, so that adjacent racket plates 9 of the multiple racket plate 9 can be connected through the upper wavy concave-convex structures 10 and the lower wavy concave-convex structures 11. This design can enhance the overall stability of racket body 2, allow multiple racket plates 9 to cooperate better during use, and provide better control performance of pickleball.
Furthermore, the number of the upper wavy concave-convex structures 10 of the racket plate 9 is not less than two. The upper wavy concave-convex structures 10 are arranged side by side in a continuous manner. The number of the lower wavy concave-convex structures 11 of the racket plate 9 is not less than two. The lower wavy concave-convex structures 11 are arranged side by side in a continuous manner.
Specifically, the number of the upper wavy concave-convex structures 10 of the racket plate 9 is not less than two. The upper wavy concave-convex structures 10 are arranged side by side in a continuous manner. The number of the lower wavy concave-convex structures 11 of the racket plate 9 is not less than two. The lower wavy concave-convex structures 11 are arranged side by side in a continuous manner. These wavy concave-convex structures are arranged side by side continuously, which means they are arranged adjacent to each other in the same direction in sequence. This design helps to increase the stability of the racket body 2, provide better control performance, reduce the vibration during swing, and provide players with a better user experience.
Furthermore, the racket body 2 is internally provided with a PP honeycombed plate.
Specifically, the PP honeycomb plate is also known as the polypropylene honeycomb plate. The PP honeycomb plate is a material with lightweight and high-strength material, and usually used to make sports equipment, boxes, automotive parts, etc. The structure of the PP honeycomb plate is similar to a honeycomb consisting of many small hexagonal cells, and thus it has good compression resistance and strength. The PP honeycomb plate is a relatively lightweight material, which can reduce the overall weight of the pickleball racket and help players swing the pickleball racket more easily. Although the PP honeycomb plate is lightweight, the PP honeycomb plate has excellent compressive strength, which can ensure the structural stability and durability of the pickleball racket. Since the PP honeycomb plate has a honeycomb structure, the PP honeycomb plate has a certain shock absorption effect, which can reduce the impact on the wrist and arm when swinging the pickleball racket. The PP honeycomb plate usually has good wear resistance and durability, which can make the pickleball racket have a long service life.
It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the disclosure is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the disclosure. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered as exemplary and non-limiting from any point of view, and the scope of the disclosure is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and all changes falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims should be included in the disclosure.
