A presentation method includes performing analysis on a swing by using output data from an inertial sensor measuring the swing of an exercise appliance, finishing the analysis, and presenting analysis information based on at least one preset index regarding the swing, on the basis of finishing of the analysis.

Provided is a sensor device including a sensor configured to output a vibration datum by detecting a change in a state of a vibration in a first object when a second object touches the first object, a holding section configured to hold, at a portion of the first object which is different from a portion where the second object touches, the sensor in a state where the vibration in the first object is transmitted, and a communication section configured to transmit the single vibration datum detected by the sensor to an analyzing device which identifies a touch position where the second object touches the first object by analyzing the vibration datum.

A method can include providing an object having a size smaller than a size of a known regulation object, projecting the object, via a delivery device, toward a trainee, and training the trainee to follow the object. A method can include determining a game parameter of a game trajectory of a sports object that was projected along the game trajectory in a real-time sports event, and based on the game parameters, adapting a delivery device to deliver a training object along a training trajectory that mimics at least a portion of the game trajectory, with the training object being smaller than the sports object.

A ball game racket frame includes a head portion, a grip portion and a shaft portion which connects the grip portion and the head portion. The ball game racket frame is at least partially made of at least one layer of a plurality of fibers which are randomly orientated and intertwined within the layer. According to further aspects, a ball game racket includes the ball game racket frame according to any of the embodiments described herein and a string bed plane comprising a plurality of strings which are attached to at least a portion of the head portion of the ball game racket frame. The string bed plane provides at least one striking surface for striking a game ball. According to yet further aspects, a method for manufacturing a ball game racket frame is disclosed.

A paddle head guard system may include a paddle head guard sized to at least partially cover an outer edge portion of a paddle head. The guard may include a moldable and hardenable band configured to be hardened after being wrapped over the outer edge portion of the paddle head.

A training apparatus and method of use for guiding and improving the forehand, backhand and other strokes of a table tennis player by forcing the hand travel in the correct trajectory to strike the ball. The apparatus includes a waist and a chest belt, or a wide belt, to position a vertical rigid rod support to which the training guide is mounted. The training apparatus includes a plate that can be adjusted via a universal joint. There are two universal joints between the plate and the vertical rod support strapped to the player's torso. The position, orientation and the angle of the plate can be adjusted by the player via the two universal joints as required. The training apparatus improves the paddle stroke trajectory by guiding the hand such that the ball is returned to the opposing player bouncing off the table.

A sphere-launching apparatus includes a launching tube defining a launching passage, a push unit having a push rod and a first driving device, and a pneumatic unit having a valve mechanism, a pneumatic cylinder and an air container. The push rod, to protrude axially into the launching passage, has a third axial end and an opposing fourth axial end for contacting a sphere in the launching tube. The first driving device, connected with the third axial end, controls the push rod to move the sphere along the launching passage to a predetermined position. The valve mechanism has an air-emitting end connected spatially with the launching passage. The pneumatic cylinder drives the valve mechanism to block or open the air-emitting end. When the valve mechanism opens the air-emitting end, a compressed air in the air container is discharged into the launching passage to eject the sphere out of the launching tube.

A substantially spherical hollow body, having a diameter of from 37 mm to 45 mm, in particular a diameter of 39.7 mm to 40.75 mm, and a weight of from 2.5 g to 3.5 g, in particular a weight of 2.6 g to 2.85 g, comprising a shell and an inner hollow space, wherein the shell has a wall thickness of 0.2 mm to 1.3 mm, in particular 0.3 mm to 0.8 mm, characterized in that the shell is free of celluloid and comprises at least one styrene-containing copolymer.

A composite panel structure has opposing outer walls or surfaces and a core comprising a plurality of ribs extending between and connected to the outer walls and defining chambers which are filled with expanding foams, non-expanding foams, gases, or a combination thereof. The outer panel surfaces and internal chamber walls or ribs are made of woven or non-woven fibrous material impregnated with one or more resins. The panel structure may be used for making a variety of products including sports equipment such as sports paddles, surfboards, kite boards, skateboards, wakeboards, as well as construction panels for walls, ceilings or floors, display panels, panels for the vehicle industry, furniture, and other structures requiring high strength to weight properties.
