Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of table tennis rackets, and in particular relates to a four-sided, face-reversible handle for a table tennis penholder racket. [Background technology]

[0002] Table tennis is a sport that is popular worldwide and is the national sport of China. It can be played both indoors and outdoors, and has a wide range of participants. It is safe because it does not involve direct physical contact like soccer or basketball, and is effective in developing muscle strength and improving cranial nerve response functions through coordinated whole-body exercise. Table tennis rackets are essential equipment for competitive play, and the right racket improves a player's hitting accuracy and technical level. Conventional penholder-style rackets typically have a straight handle, with the thumb and index finger positioned on the racket face and the other fingers positioned underneath, allowing the racket to be controlled with the forearm and wrist. However, this design makes it difficult to tilt the racket face forward during forehand strokes, which tends to cause the elbow to lift up, and creates a lack of face opening during backhand strokes, making it prone to net errors. Furthermore, the grip feels poor when used for extended periods of time. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model proposes a highly practical handle structure.

[0004] The four-sided, face-reversible handle for a table tennis penholder racket according to the present application includes a handle body, which is composed of a neck portion and a shaft portion, and the neck portion is located at the connection position between the shaft portion and the racket face, with one side of the neck portion having a gently curved surface structure and the other side having a semicircular curved surface structure. The thickness of the upper end of the neck portion is smoothly tapered, and the lower end of the neck portion smoothly connects with the shaft portion. Preferably, the gently curved surface structure fits the natural curvature of the thumb. Preferably, the semicircular curved surface structure fits the natural curvature of the index finger. Preferably, the neck portion and the shaft portion are integrally formed from a wooden material. Preferably, the handles are provided on both sides of the racket in the same shape.

[0005] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The angle of the racket face can be adjusted more naturally before and after forehand attacks, backhand attacks, and face flips, significantly improving the penholder's ability to use a variety of attacking techniques and tactical flexibility. 2. The conventional structure makes it difficult to lean forward, and the lack of face opening and poor grip feel when using a backhand backhand stroke have been eliminated. The design is compatible with the biomechanics of the human hand, improving operability for backhand backhand strokes, forehand front strokes, and forehand backhand strokes, and aligning the grip feel and function before and after face inversion. 3. It uses a shape design that has aesthetic appeal. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] In order to more clearly explain the technical solution of the present utility model, the following will be explained with reference to the drawings in a clear and understandable manner. Obviously, the following drawings are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the protection scope of the present utility model, and those skilled in the art can further obtain other drawings according to these drawings without any creative ingenuity. [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a front view of the handle of a right-handed racket. [Figure 2] Figure 2 is a three-dimensional view of the handle of a right-handed racket. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a front view of the handle of a left-handed racket. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The technical means in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. In describing the embodiments of the present invention, terms such as "center," "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inside," and "outside" are used based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings or based on the customary arrangement of the product of the present invention when in use. This is intended to facilitate and simplify the description of the present invention, and does not imply that devices or components must have a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and "third" are used for distinction purposes only, and do not imply relative importance. Additionally, the terms "horizontal," "vertical," "pendant," etc. do not require that a part be absolutely horizontal, vertical, or pendant, but may be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply refers to a more horizontal direction than "vertical," and does not necessarily have to be perfectly horizontal, but may be slightly tilted.

[0008] As shown in the drawings, the four-sided, face-reversible handle for a table tennis penholder racket according to the present application includes a handle body 1, which is composed of a neck portion 101 and a shaft portion 102. The neck portion 101 is located at the connection position between the shaft portion 102 and the racket face, and one side of the neck portion 101 has a gently curved surface structure 103, and the other side has a semicircular curved surface structure 104. The gently curved surface structure 103 fits the natural curvature of the thumb, and the semicircular curved surface structure 104 fits the natural curvature of the index finger. The thickness of the upper end of the neck portion 101 gradually decreases smoothly, and the lower end of the neck portion 101 smoothly connects to the shaft portion 102. The neck portion 101 and the shaft portion 102 are integrally molded from a wooden material. The handles are installed in the same shape on both sides of the racket, and for a right-handed racket, the gently curved surface structure 103 is arranged on the left side and the semicircular curved surface structure 104 is arranged on the right side. When using the racket, the user places their thumb on the gently curved surface structure 103, their index finger on the semicircular curved surface structure 104, and the remaining fingers on the underside of the handle. This makes it easier to tilt the racket face forward when using a forehand, facilitating switching between forehand and backhand strokes. It also allows for more natural adjustment of the racket face angle when using a backhand stroke, improving the success rate of backhand strokes. The design eliminates the difficulty of tilting the racket forward and the lack of face opening and poor grip feel when using a backhand backhand stroke. The design is compatible with the biomechanics of the human hand, improving operability for backhand strokes, forehand strokes, and backhand strokes, and aligns the grip feel and function before and after the face is inverted. This significantly improves the use of a variety of forehand and backhand attacking techniques and tactical flexibility of the penholder. It also features an aesthetically pleasing shape.

[0009] The above are merely examples of preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the present invention. All modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
