Pickleball paddle having head geometry to enlarge sweet spot area

The invention relates to a pickleball paddle having an enlarged head resulting in an enlarged sweet spot area. The enlarged head includes a perimeter edge defined by a top edge and left and right curved side edges that extend from the top edge to a base end. A horizontal axis line extends through the left and right curved side edges to define the maximum width of the head. A sweet spot area is located approximately two thirds the height of the head from the base end, and the horizontal axis line is positioned to extend through the sweet spot area. An edge guard extends over the perimeter of the head and avoids the creation of any overlap segment or bulge to preserve usable handle length. The invention also relates to an edge treatment for dampening vibrations and adding weight to the pickleball paddle.

Identifying the sweet spot of a bat

A test fixture for identifying the sweet spot of a bat includes one or more vibration absorbers, which may include cuffs, caps, and cuff / accelerometer combinations. An impact mass driven by motors strikes the bat at a series of locations along the barrel of the bat while the magnitude of vibration at the handle of the bat is measured by an accelerometer. The sweet spot is identified based on the minimum of the maximum measured acceleration values. The vibration absorbers inhibit gross movement of the bat and accelerate quiescence of oscillatory vibration of the bat between strikes, thereby reducing test time and increasing accuracy.

Magnetic Golf Club

PendingUS20260131208A1Golf clubsGolf BallGolf club
A golf club head modified to comprise magnetic inserts proximal to the striking surface is disclosed. These magnetic inserts alter the properties of the golf club head such that the striking surface imparts greater force to a golf ball when hitting the “sweet spot”. Various configurations and embodiments disclosed may further alter the properties of the golf club head striking surface.

Golf club head

Even when the batting position is inconsistent, it suppresses the decrease in ball distance. [Solution] A golf club head comprising a striking surface 10 for striking a ball. The striking surface 10 includes a sweet spot SS. The striking surface 10 includes a high-friction portion 10H with a large surface roughness, a low-friction portion 10L with a small surface roughness, and an intermediate-friction portion 10M whose surface roughness is smaller than that of the high-friction portion 10H and larger than that of the low-friction portion 10L. When the striking surface 10 is divided into four regions A1 to A4 by a virtual first axis V1 passing through the sweet spot SS and a virtual second axis V2 passing through the sweet spot SS and intersecting the first axis V1, the high-friction portion 10H is located in region A4, which is the closest to the heel and the closest to the sole among the four regions A1 to A4. The low-friction portion 10L is located in region A1, which is the closest to the toe and the closest to the crown among the four regions.

Apparatus and methods for optimizing the performance of swinging implements

A method of optimizing a swinging implement, such as a bat, includes receiving an initial location of a sweet spot of the implement; receiving a contact point distribution for real-world usage of the implement; and performing at least one iteration of an optimization process to improve alignment between the sweet spot of the swinging implement and the contact point distribution. The optimization process involves adjusting one or more attributes of the implement (such as dimensions, shape / profile, and / or material properties) and computing an adjusted location of the sweet spot of the implement. The optimization process can iterate until alignment between the sweet spot and the contact point distribution is maximized. Attributes may be adjusted manually (e.g., by a user) or automatically (e.g., via mathematical optimization techniques executed in a processor). A design file for the optimized design may be output and used to manufacture optimized swinging implements.

Golf club head

The golf club head has a ball striking face including a sweet spot. The striking face comprises a high-friction portion with high surface roughness, a low-friction portion with low surface roughness, and a middle-friction portion with surface roughness therebetween. When the striking face is divided into four regions by imaginary first and second axes passing through the sweet spot and intersecting with each other, the high-friction portion is located in one of the four regions closest to the heel and closest to the sole portion, and the low-friction portion is located in one of the four regions closest to the toe and closest to the crown portion.
