AI Technical Summary
The existing Peak racket surface material is too hard, resulting in low ball spin and reducing the user experience and enjoyment.
A Peak racket with a uniform distribution of hardness and softness on its face is designed. This is achieved by embedding a hard part and a soft part within the racket face. The hard part is made of carbon fiber, and the soft part is made of EVA or sponge. The soft part is formed by a spiral distribution through support strips. When the ball hits the hard part, it collapses into the soft part, increasing spin.
It increases the ball's spin, enhancing the user experience and fun.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to sports equipment, and more particularly to a racket with a uniform distribution of softness and hardness on the racket face. Background Technology
[0002] Pickleball is a sport that involves hitting a ball with a racket. It originated on Benbridge Island in Seattle, USA. It is a hybrid sport of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. In terms of physical activity and intensity, pickleball is better than badminton and table tennis. Furthermore, the activity level and intensity of pickleball are lower than those of tennis. Tennis enthusiasts who are not used to playing tennis or whose physical fitness declines quickly are suitable for playing pickleball as a regular exercise. It is suitable for all ages, and approximately 2.5 million people in the United States participate in the sport year-round. It has become a regular part of physical education classes in middle schools.
[0003] Existing Peak rackets consist of a racket body and a handle. The racket body is usually made from a single piece of material, such as wood, plastic, or fiberglass / carbon fiber composite honeycomb. The material is usually quite rigid, and the face plate has little deformation, resulting in low spin on the ball and reducing the user experience and enjoyment. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by providing a racket with a uniform distribution of softness and hardness on the racket face.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] This utility model provides a pick with a uniformly distributed hardness and softness in the racket face. The pick consists of a racket face and a handle. The racket face is composed of upper and lower panels and a central core. The central core includes:
[0007] Hard parts are embedded within the surface of the paddle, and there are gaps between each hard part;
[0008] The soft part is embedded in the interval;
[0009] The hard part includes a straight section extending along the axial direction of the racket face and a curved section that connects to the straight section at both ends.
[0010] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solutions include at least the following:
[0011] When the ball hits between the hard and soft parts, because the hard part is harder than the soft part, the ball will move towards the soft part due to its own kinetic energy and the force of the user's swing. This will compress the soft part and cause it to collapse, making the ball spin outwards from the hard part to the soft part, thus increasing the degree of spin and the fun of the ball in the air.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 or Figure 3 A type of racket with a uniformly distributed hardness and softness in the racket face. The racket consists of a racket face and a handle. The racket face 10 is composed of upper and lower panels and a central core. The core includes: a hard part 20 embedded in the racket face 10, with a gap between each hard part 20, and the hard part 20 is made of carbon fiber; and a soft part 30 embedded in the gaps, and the soft part 30 is made of EVA or sponge, specifically, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, when the ball strikes between the hard part 20 and the soft part 30, because the hard part 20 is harder than the soft part 30, the ball, due to its own kinetic energy and the force of the user's swing, will move closer to the soft part 30 and compress it, causing it to collapse. Figure 5 F in the equation represents the force exerted on the ball by the hard part 20, causing the ball to rotate outwards from the hard part 20 towards the soft part, thereby increasing the degree of rotation of the ball in the air.
[0025] The hard part 20 includes a straight part 211 extending along the axial direction of the racket face 10 and a curved part 212 connecting the beginning and end of the straight part 211, so as to adapt to the form of the racket face 10 extending in a straight line in the middle and curving at the beginning and end, so that the hard part 20 and the soft cloth are evenly distributed on the racket.
[0026] Furthermore, the hard part 20 is a support strip 21 embedded in the racket face 10, and the support strip 21 is distributed in a spiral shape; and the support strips 21 are spaced at fixed intervals, such as... Figure 1Or as shown in 3, where X is the spacing between the support strips 21, and X' is the interval between the support strips 21 and the edge of the racket face 10. Preferably, X>X'.
[0027] Among them, the part of the support bar 21 that faces the same direction as the axial direction of the racket is the straight part 211, and the part that connects the two ends of the straight part 211 is the curved part 212. The curved part 212 bends outward towards the racket face 10. The straight part 211 is distributed in the central area of the racket face 10, and the curved part is distributed in the edge area of the racket face 10.
[0028] Based on the above, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the red line segment is the straight section 211, the blue line segment is the curved section 212, and the red and blue arrows are the directions of ball rotation and rebound, respectively. In the figure, the blue and red arrows point in different directions.
[0029] Example 1: There is one support bar 21, and the support bar 21 rotates from the edge of the racket face 10 around the racket face 10 to the center of the racket face 10. This distribution of the support bar 21 allows the curved part to be distributed over a large area at the front and rear of the racket, which is beneficial for users who are used to hitting the ball with the front of the racket face 10.
[0030] Example 2: The racket face 10 is divided into a first part 11 and a second part 12 with its axis as the dividing line; the support bar 21 includes a first support bar 21 and a second support bar 21. The first support bar 21 and the second support bar 21 are both starting from the dividing line between the racket face 10 and the handle of the racket, and rotate around the first part 11 and the second part 12 to the center respectively. This distribution of the support bar 21 allows the straight part 211 to be distributed over a large area in the center and front end of the racket, and the curved part to be distributed on the left and right sides of the front end of the racket, which is beneficial for users who are used to hitting the ball with the middle of the racket face 10.
[0031] The two embodiments described above are available for users with different habits and offer a high degree of choice. In addition, it should be noted that the support bar 21 can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to achieve the above effect. At the same time, the number of rotations of the spiral, the interval width, and the thickness of the support bar 21 can all be adjusted in production according to the actual situation. Regardless of the number of rotations, the interval width, or the thickness of the support bar 21, all are within the protection scope of this application.
[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0033] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present invention.
