Claims20
A ball game racket frame with a head portion and a handle portion, wherein the ball game racket frame comprises a fiber composite with at least one multi-fiber roving that is at least partially twisted;
- and
- wherein the twisted multi-fiber roving in the head portion is arranged to run through a cross section of the frame portion above and/or below a stringing plane, wherein the cross section is located at a first position on the frame portion and is perpendicular to a contour line of the frame portion at the first position.
A ball game racket frame with a head portion and a handle portion, wherein the ball game racket frame comprises a fiber composite with a plurality of multi-fiber rovings that are at least partially twisted;
- wherein at least one of the plurality of multi-fiber rovings is arranged to run through a cross section of the frame portion above and/or below a stringing plane, wherein the cross section is located at a first position on the frame portion and is perpendicular to a contour line of the frame portion at the first position;
- wherein the number of twists n of the twisted multi-fiber roving per length l of the multi-fiber roving defines a ratio n/l, and wherein the ratio n/l is at least 0.2 cm−1;
- and
- wherein each of the plurality of multi-fiber rovings are arranged in the following areas of the head portion:
- between 4:30 o'clock and 5:30 o'clock, between 6:30 o'clock and 7:30 o'clock, between 10:30 o'clock and 11:30 o'clock, between 12:30 o'clock and 1:30 o'clock.
A method for producing a ball game racket frame, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of prepreg layers with pre-impregnated fibers, wherein at least one of the prepreg layers comprises a multi-fiber roving that is at least partially twisted;
- inserting a tube made of prepreg layers into a racket mold;
- and
- curing the prepreg layers within the racket mold using pressure and heat;
- wherein the twisted multi-fiber roving in the head portion is arranged to run through a cross section of the frame portion above and/or below a stringing plane, wherein the cross section is located at a first position on the frame portion and is perpendicular to a contour line of the frame portion at the first position.
