Pickleball Paddle Striking Blade and Handle Forms

Abstract

An example pickleball paddle comprises a striking blade and a handle connected to the striking blade at a connecting part. A bottom edge of the striking blade, located on one or both of a left side and a right side of the handle, is orthogonal to a center axis of the striking blade at the connecting part and the handle, or extends below the connecting part. The center axis of the striking blade may be different from a center axis of the handle. In another example pickleball paddle, the center axis of the striking blade is different from the center axis of the handle, and, either the bottom edge of the striking blade is orthogonal to the center axis of the striking blade at the connecting part and the handle, or extends below the connecting part.

1 . A pickleball paddle comprising a striking blade and a handle connected to the striking blade at a connecting part, wherein at least one of:
 a bottom edge of the striking blade, located on one or both of a left side and a right side of the handle, is orthogonal to a center axis of the striking blade at the connecting part and the handle, or extends below the connecting part; or   the center axis of the striking blade is different from a center axis of the handle.   
     
     
         2 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottom edge of the striking blade, located on one or both of the left side and the right side of the handle, is orthogonal to the center axis of the striking blade at the connecting part and the handle, or extends below the connecting part. 
     
     
         3 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 2 , wherein a striking surface of the striking blade is symmetric on the left side and the right side with respect to the center axis of the striking blade and the handle. 
     
     
         4 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 2 , wherein a striking surface of the striking blade is asymmetric on the left side and the right side with respect to the center axis of the striking blade and the handle. 
     
     
         5 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 4 , wherein the striking blade extends below the connecting part at different lengths on the left and the right side of the handle. 
     
     
         6 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 4 , wherein the edge of the striking blade is curved on the left side and the right side of the handle at the connecting part. 
     
     
         7 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 6 , the striking blade is shaped to extend below a grip point on the handle. 
     
     
         8 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 7 , wherein a bottom edge of the striking blade is parallel to a bottom of the handle. 
     
     
         9 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 2 , wherein a striking surface of the striking blade comprises a same material composition on an entirety of a front face of the striking blade. 
     
     
         10 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 9 , wherein the striking surface of the striking blade comprises a same material composition on an entirety of a back face of the striking blade. 
     
     
         11 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 2 , wherein a sum of a length from a top of the striking blade to a bottom of the handle and a largest width of the striking blade is less than or equal to a maximum paddle size standard. 
     
     
         12 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 2 , wherein the bottom edge of the striking blade located on one or both of a left side and a right side of the handle, is orthogonal to the center axis at the connecting part of the striking blade and the handle. 
     
     
         13 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 2 , wherein the bottom edge of the striking blade, located on one or both of a left side and a right side of the handle, extends below the connecting part. 
     
     
         14 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 1 , wherein a center axis of the striking blade is different from a center axis of the handle. 
     
     
         15 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 14 , wherein the center axis of the striking blade meets the center axis of the handle at the connecting part. 
     
     
         16 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 15 , wherein the center axis of the striking blade forms an angle with the center axis of the handle, wherein the angle is not 180 degrees. 
     
     
         17 . The pickleball paddle according to  claim 16 , wherein the center axis of the striking blade forms an angle with the center axis of the handle. 
     
     
         18 . A pickleball paddle comprising a striking blade and a handle connected to the striking blade at a connecting part, wherein:
 a bottom edge of the striking blade, located on one or both of a left side and a right side of the handle, is orthogonal to the center axis of the striking blade at the connecting part and the handle, or extends below the connecting part; and   the center axis of the striking blade is different from a center axis of the handle.
