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.

In an example, a paddle bumper may include a band configured to extend around and at least partially encase at least a portion of a lateral edge of a paddle. The band includes a first portion, a second portion, and a handle portion. The handle portion includes an aperture, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side opposite the first lateral side. The first portion of the band connects to the first lateral side and the second portion of the band connects to the second lateral side.

An illuminating paddle, including a main body to hit a ball, a sensor disposed within at least a portion of the main body to detect an impact against the main body, a plurality of central lights disposed on at least a portion of a center of the main body to illuminate in response to the sensor detecting the impact of the ball against the center of the main body, a plurality of edge lights disposed on at least a portion of the main body to illuminate in response to the sensor detecting the impact of the ball against the center of the main body, and a speaker disposed on and within at least a portion of the main body to emit at least one sound in response to the sensor detecting the impact of the ball against the center of the main body.

A paddle for use in a paddle and ball-based sport such as pickleball comprises a handle, a blade and a throat connecting the handle to the blade. The blade has a hitting surface which is continuous, devoid of apertures or indentations. The blade is thinner in its center than on its periphery, and may be completely concave or have a flat inner region surrounded by a concave periphery. The throat may comprise an aperture through the thickness of the paddle.

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 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.

A molded plastic game surface that is a target for table tennis balls pitched by players. Balls may come to rest on one of the multiple terraced levels, roll into the hole on the surface, or roll off of the game surface.

A method of holding a sport equipment can comprise optionally placing a first and/or second hand in a first and/or second hand covering device. A user may position the first hand through a loop of a strap device. The user may place the first hand around a sport equipment. The user may place the second hand around the sport equipment and a grip portion of the strap device at the same time. The user may apply or attempt to apply the sport equipment to an incoming object by swinging the sport equipment in a loop trajectory such that the first hand and the second hand move together through the completion of the trajectory.

A pickleball holder may include a shaft and a spring mechanism. The shaft may have a diameter sized to fit through one or more holes in a pickleball. The spring mechanism may be at least partially within the shaft and may be configured to compress as the spring mechanism passes through a hole of the one or more holes and to expand when the spring mechanism is outside of the hole to releasably secure one or more pickleballs. In some embodiments, the pickleball holder may include a cord coupled to an end of the shaft.

A paddle assembly for use as a training aid for playing various sports. The assembly has a paddle including a head, a front side, a back side, a perimeter edge, and a handle. The assembly also has a weight. A first locator and a second locator are affixed to the paddle and configured to hold the weight against the front side of the paddle. A spring-loaded eccentric clamp is affixed to the paddle and configured to hold the weight against and release the weight from the front side of the paddle. The weight is secured to the paddle at three contact points by the two locators and the eccentric clamp. In an alternative embodiment, the paddle assembly includes a harness configured to slip over, onto, and into engagement with the paddle to affix the weight to the paddle.
