The plastics bat for playing ball games comprises a handle and a ball-striking head for striking resilient balls. The ball-striking head comprises a rigid outer ring frame integrally formed with the handle, a first discrete lattice structure comprising a semi-rigid single planar lattice element and an identical second discrete lattice structure comprising a semi rigid single planar lattice element. The lattice structures are securely connected to opposite sides of the frame so as to define ball-striking faces, respectively. The lattice structures define an unobstructed internal space between them. The ball-striking head has a lightweight monocoque construction wherein the lattice structures and the frame form a load-carrying outer skin surrounding the hollow internal space.

A paddle racket is provided, including: a frame body, including a frame wall and a handle connected to the frame wall, the frame wall having an inner circumferential surface and defining a receiving space; a three-dimensional web core, disposed in the receiving space and including an outer circumferential surface facing the inner circumferential surface, including channels disposed through the three-dimensional web core in a thickness direction of the three-dimensional web core; two striking surface portions, disposed on two opposing sides of the three-dimensional web core, each striking surface portions including through holes, the through holes corresponding to and being in communication with parts of the channels; and double-sided adhesive layers, connecting the outer circumferential surface of the three-dimensional web core to the inner circumferential surface of the frame wall and connecting the two striking surface portions to the two opposing sides of the three-dimensional web core.

A blade for a hockey stick which can readily absorb impact from the puck, and can allow the user to feel the puck on the blade in contrast to conventional carbon fiber blades. The blade can include a blade member integrally formed of composite material having discontinuous fibers bonded within thermosetting resin. The blade member can have a blade periphery surrounding a central blade region. The central blade region can have a plurality of openings arranged in a pattern to form series of elongate criss crossing ribs that extend between and connect different sides of the blade periphery to each other. The fibers in the blade periphery can be in a generally jumbled orientation, and the fibers in the central blade region can be positioned within the ribs in a manner wherein each rib contains a plurality of fibers that substantially extend in said each rib's elongate direction.

A waterproof racket includes an annular skeleton, a receiving pocket having a pocket cavity, and a trampoline layer affixed to the receiving pocket. The annular skeleton is received in the pocket cavity to retain the receiving pocket in an annular configuration. The trampoline layer is affixed to a centerline of the receiving pocket, wherein the trampoline layer is stretched to form a trampoline surface in a tension manner.

A sports product may include a support member and an impact region configured to impact an object. The impact region may be coupled to the support member. The sports product may also include a shear thickening material in at least one of the support member or the impact region. The shear thickening material may be configured to exhibit shear thickening behavior when an impact occurs between the impact region and the object.

The present disclosure provides for a sports paddle for use in sports such as platform tennis. The sports paddle comprises a handle, a rim, and a blade, the blade defining a plurality of holes extending through the blade. Each of the plurality of holes are preferably elliptical in shape, thereby increasing an edge length of the holes at each face of the paddle, which enables a player to impart an enhanced spin when striking a ball. The blade preferably comprises at least one core layer, a first outer layer, and a second outer layer. The core layer is preferably comprised of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA foam) and the outer layers are preferably comprised of fiber glass. The first and second outer layers further preferably comprise at least one carbon fiber layer sandwiched the fiberglass layers.
