Description

匹克球拍結構 Pickle racket structure

本創作係有關一種匹克球拍結構，尤指一種能達到降躁之效果，並方便使用者之操控者。 This creation is about a pickle racket structure, especially one that can achieve the effect of reducing anxiety and is convenient for users to manipulate.

匹克球是結合了羽球、網球與桌球特色的一種球拍型運動，匹克球的球場規格大小如同羽毛球場一般，匹克球網與網球網的高度相當，使用者所使用的匹克球拍宛如加大的桌球拍，匹克球之球體是比網球稍微大一點且帶有多個孔洞的中空塑膠球，而匹克球之打法則近似網球的對戰方式，可以落地擊球或直接在空中截擊。此種匹克球運動方式，在近年來經過全球數百萬人的體驗嘗試之下而立下好口碑，無疑的，是一種有趣、容易上手且老少合宜的新潮運動。 Pickleball is a racket-shaped sport that combines the characteristics of badminton, tennis and billiards. The size of the Pickleball court is the same as that of a badminton court. The height of the Pickleball net is similar to that of a tennis net. The Pickleball racket used by users is like an enlarged billiard ball The ball of the pickleball is a hollow plastic ball slightly larger than a tennis ball with multiple holes, and the playing method of the pickleball is similar to that of tennis. It can be hit on the ground or directly volleyed in the air. This kind of pickle ball sport has gained a good reputation after millions of people around the world tried it in recent years. It is undoubtedly an interesting, easy-to-learn trendy sport that is suitable for all ages.

球拍芯是任何匹克球拍的支柱，其中，為了具有足夠之強度以進行有效的打擊，目前之球拍芯主要是採用具有蜂窩形狀構造之鋁芯或是聚丙烯(PP)芯；而為了緩衝控制與更安靜的擊球，另一種球拍芯則是使用了發泡聚合物材質。惟，在實際使用時，蜂窩形狀構造之球拍芯容易在使用者擊球時，產生如鼓聲一般之噪音，而發泡聚合物之球拍芯雖然具有緩沖及降噪之作用，但卻會因為強度不足而需要增加球拍之厚度，讓匹克球拍顯得笨重而不利於操作。 The racket core is the pillar of any pickleball racket. Among them, in order to have sufficient strength for effective hitting, the current racket core mainly adopts aluminum core or polypropylene (PP) core with a honeycomb structure; and for cushioning control and For a quieter shot, another racquet core is made of foamed polymer. However, in actual use, the racket core with a honeycomb structure tends to generate noise like drumming when the user hits the ball, and although the racket core of foamed polymer has the effect of cushioning and noise reduction, it will be damaged due to Insufficient strength requires increasing the thickness of the racket, which makes the pickleball racket appear bulky and unfavorable for operation.
