A pickle ball includes: a hollow ball with multiple holes on the surface, and a sound absorbing material filled to reduce noise inside the hollow ball, wherein the sound absorbing material includes a sponge, at least one or more LEDs are installed in the sound absorbing material, and a predetermined fluorescent material is applied to the surface of the hollow ball.

An endcap system for a sporting implement includes a base portion and a transverse extension projecting from the base portion. The base portion has a bottom surface with a central axis normal thereto. A receptacle opposite the bottom surface is configured to receive a portion of the sporting implement. The extension is configured such that, during swinging of the sporting implement with a hand of a user gripping around the sporting implement portion, the extension contacts an exterior lateral portion and upper portion of a fifth metacarpal of the hand and the hand is constrained in both the transverse and longitudinal aspects while being allowed rotation of a first metacarpal of the hand away from the central axis.

A bat 10 for playing ball games comprises a handle 12 and a ball-striking head 14 having a monolithic structure comprising a pair of spaced apart outer lattices 16 which define rigid, unstressed ball-striking surfaces and a plurality of discrete internal struts 26 which are integrally moulded with the lattices so as to extend between the lattices. Each lattice includes a distributed and connected network of alternating nodal areas 22 and unobstructed openings 24. Each nodal area comprises a web having an irregular outer surface provided by perforations in the web which reduce an unpleasant high-pitched noise generated when a resilient ball having a smooth outer surface is struck by the bat.

Aspects of the present disclosure include a pickleball paddle that is formed using a plastic or composite molded material. A composite material is wrapped around a center and placed in a mold to form a paddle frame or arranged around a paddle frame. In some embodiments, additional composite material is wrapped at specific positions to tune the balance point and rebound characteristics of the finished paddle The mold is heated to cure the composite material within the mold cavity. Face shells are then added to complete the paddle.

A pickleball paddle. The paddle includes a ball striking portion, or head, and a handle. A first planar face resides on a first side of the head, and a second planar face resides on a second side of the head opposite the first side. The paddle also includes a transition portion comprising a frame. In one aspect, the frame comprises two members that extend into the handle, and that also extend up to the head and form a hoop around the head. Preferably, the frame forms an open throat at the transition section, between the two frame members. The first planar face has a control response and a power response, while the second planar face also has a control response and a power response. In one arrangement, the control response of the first face is greater than the control response of the second face.

An adjustable sports paddle including a handle that extends to a neck portion and a substantially ovular frame. The frame supports first and second striking surfaces, which are sandwiched about an inflatable bladder. A conduit extends from the bladder to the handle through the neck, and the handle further includes a pressurizing mechanism for increasing an air pressure in the bladder via the conduit. In a preferred embodiment, the paddle can also include an adjustable handle having multiple lengths.

The present disclosure is about a receptacle assembly 1 for a paddle-based ball game. The receptacle assembly comprises a support structure 10, an outer cylinder 14, and an inner cylinder 15. The outer cylinder 14 is coupled to the support structure 10. Further, the inner cylinder 14 is housed in the outer cylinder 14 and coupled to the support structure 10. A first space is defined between the outer cylinder 14 and the inner cylinder 15. The first space is configured to selectively receive a ball 17. Further, the inner cylinder 15 defines a second space therewithin to selectively receive the ball 17. Further, the present disclosure also come up with method of playing a paddle-based ball game in less space and with minimum player effort. In one embodiment a set of rules for playing a paddle-based ball game is disclosed.

A marking apparatus including: a plurality of connectable pieces, wherein each connectable piece includes at least one of protruding portions or recessed portions, wherein a shape of the protruding portions is substantially similar to a shape of the recessed portions, such that the protruding portions of a first connectable piece are insertable into the recessed portions of a second connectable piece to form an interlocking connection between the first and second connectable pieces.

The ClearShot Transparent Pickleball Paddle is different from all other pickleball paddles because the entire hitting part, which may be a single piece or consist of components such as a core, surface film, surface sheet, and surface faceplate, is made with a transparent material, thereby giving the player the ability to clearly see through the hitting part of the paddle.

A tennis ball retriever for retrieving a tennis ball on and about a tennis court and for controllably releasing the ball includes a front-end ball collector having two spaced-apart blades defining a ball collection space. The retriever includes one or more detents for retaining the collected ball in the collection space until a programmed or manually-directed release toward a target location such as a tennis baseline. The retriever includes a processor-controller for controlling and directing the retriever during a retrieval session. The retriever may be remote-controlled such as by voice commands.
