Abstract
The present invention may comprise methods of fabricating a paddle with monolithic fiber composite parts. The invention may result in an integral piece, while minimizing weaknesses and manufacturing complexity. Superior paddles are produced that avoid dead spots, soft spots, laminar separation, and other disadvantages while retaining consistent rigidity and improving play during pickleball play.
