However, when such rackets are actually used, the sweet spot, as the main hitting area, bears frequent and large impacts, causing the PP honeycomb core material to easily deform. This not only affects the accuracy of hitting and the effectiveness of power transmission, reducing the hitting experience of players, but also in the long run, the deformation of the sweet spot will cause damage to the racket structure and shorten the service life of the racket. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the rigidity of the sweet spot of the PP honeycomb core material racket to enhance its overall performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] A Pickleball racket with a PP honeycomb core material has a PP honeycomb core material as the inner core, and on each of the two sides, there are successively arranged a non-woven fabric layer and a surface layer;

[0006] In the PP honeycomb core material, a rigid support is embedded in the PP tubes in the sweet spot.

[0007] Preferably, in the PP honeycomb core material, the PP tubes are covered with a POE film, and adjacent PP tubes are melt-bonded through the POE film.

[0008] Preferably, the rigid support is a bead or a column, and the material is metal or plastic.

[0009] Preferably, the installation quantity of the rigid support is 60%-80% of the total number of PP tubes in the sweet spot.

[0012] Preferably, when the surface layer is a carbon fiber layer and a glass fiber layer, the glass fiber layer accounts for 50%-60% of the total mass of the surface layer; and the glass fiber layer is the outer layer.

[0013] The production process of the above-mentioned Pickleball racket with a PP honeycomb core material includes the following steps:

[0014] S1: Melt and extrude PP particles to form a PP pipe, and cover the outer surface of the PP pipe with a POE film;

[0015] S2: Inject a high-strength binder into 60%-80% of the total number of PP pipes in the sweet area. Then, press the beads into the core board from one side and bond and fix the beads; or press the columns into the PP pipes and bond and fix the columns with a high-strength binder. Heat the PP pipes pre-installed with beads or columns together with other ordinary PP pipes through a hot-melt process at a temperature of 180-200°C and a pressure of 0.5-1 MPa, so that the POE film covering the outer surface of the PP pipes melts, and adjacent PP pipes are bonded through the melted POE film to form a complete honeycomb core board structure;

[0016] S3: Bond non-woven fabrics to both sides of the core material obtained in S2 respectively; coat the glue film on both sides of the PP honeycomb core material and perform hot pressing and compounding with the non-woven fabric, and control the hot pressing temperature at 120-140°C and the pressure at 1-1.5 MPa;

[0020] Preferably, the production process of the PP honeycomb core material pick racket further includes appearance decoration.

[0021] Advantages of the present invention:

[0022] 1. In the present invention, by adding rigid support members in the sweet area, the rigidity of the sweet area is significantly enhanced, effectively reducing the degree of deformation of the sweet area during hitting, making the hitting more accurate, and the power transmission more direct and efficient, bringing a better hitting experience to players and meeting the needs of players at different levels for high-quality rackets.

[0100] In order to more intuitively reflect the advantages of the sweet spot enhanced rigid structure in the present invention, a comparative test was conducted. An ordinary Pickleball racket with a common PP honeycomb core material without sweet spot enhancement treatment was selected as the control group and compared with the improved racket in Example 3.

[0101] Rigidity test: Using professional material rigidity test equipment, the same pressure was applied to the sweet spots of the two groups of rackets. The results showed that when the pressure on the sweet spot of the ordinary racket reached 50 N, an obvious 3-mm depression deformation occurred; while for the racket of Example 3 of the present invention, when the pressure reached 80 N, the depression deformation was only 1 mm, which fully proved the remarkable effect of the sweet spot enhanced rigid structure on improving rigidity.

[0102] Hit performance test: Twenty Pickleball players with the same level were invited to conduct hitting training with the two groups of rackets respectively, and the hitting accuracy and power feedback were recorded. After statistics, the hitting accuracy of the players using the racket of the present invention increased by an average of 25%, and the power transfer efficiency increased by an average of 30%. The players generally reported that the hitting was more stable and the control feeling of the ball was stronger.

[0103] Durability test: Simulating a high-intensity game environment, continuous hitting tests were carried out on the two groups of rackets. After 800 continuous hits, obvious deformation and wear appeared in the sweet spot of the ordinary racket, and delamination signs began to appear in some areas; while for the racket of Example 3 of the present invention, after 1500 continuous hits, only slight wear occurred in the sweet spot and the overall structure remained intact, which strongly proved the positive effect of the sweet spot enhanced rigid structure on improving the durability of the racket.

[0104] Through the above specific implementation manners and comparative tests, it can be clearly seen that the present invention effectively improves the rigidity, hit performance and durability of the sweet spot of the Pickleball racket by adding beads or columns into the PP pipes in the sweet spot, and has remarkable technical advantages and practical application values.
