Abstract

A pickleball paddle includes a paddle body and a handle connected to the paddle body. The paddle body has at least one hollow cylindrical space therein. An angle is formed between an axis of the hollow cylindrical space and front and back face-plates of the paddle body. The hollow cylindrical space has an axial length and a radial length. The axial length is greater than the radial length. At least one rolling member that can roll back and forth along an axial direction of the hollow cylindrical space is disposed in the hollow cylindrical space. The pickleball paddle can enhance an explosive force for hitting a ball.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pickleball paddle comprising:
 a paddle body; and   a handle connected to the paddle body;   wherein the paddle body includes a substrate, a first face-plate attached to one side of the substrate, a second face-plate attached to another side of the substrate, and a frame fixedly connected to a circumferential side of the substrate;   wherein the substrate is provided with at least one hollow cylindrical space arranged obliquely relative to the first and second face-plates of the paddle body, an axial length of the hollow cylindrical space is greater than a radial length of the hollow cylindrical space, and at least one rolling member disposed in the hollow cylindrical space thereby enabling the rolling member to roll back and forth in the hollow cylindrical space; and   wherein when a user swings the paddle body to hit a ball, speed of the paddle will instantaneously drop and the rolling member will hit a top wall of the hollow cylindrical space from a bottom wall of the hollow cylindrical space at a speed due to inertia thus bringing the paddle a secondary force and thereby greatly enhancing hitting force on the ball.   
     
     
         2 . A pickleball paddle comprising:
 a paddle body; and   a handle connected to the paddle body;   wherein the paddle body includes a substrate, a first face-plate attached to one side of the substrate, a second face-plate attached to another side of the substrate, and a frame fixedly connected to a circumferential side of the substrate;   wherein the substrate is provided with at least one hollow cylindrical space arranged perpendicular to the first and second face-plates of the paddle body, an axial length of the hollow cylindrical space is greater than a radial length of the hollow cylindrical space, and at least one rolling member disposed in the hollow cylindrical space thereby enabling the rolling member to roll back and forth in the hollow cylindrical space; and   wherein when a user swings the paddle body to hit a ball, speed of the paddle will instantaneously drop and the rolling member will hit a top wall of the hollow cylindrical space from a bottom wall of the hollow cylindrical space at a speed due to inertia thus bringing the paddle a secondary force and thereby greatly enhancing hitting force on the ball.
