Pickleball Paddle with Vibration Reduction and/or Power Enhancements

Abstract

A pickleball paddle comprises a handle and a striking blade. In some aspects, a soft filler material is contained between the face sheets of the striking blade in an area of the striking blade near where the striking blade connects to the handle. The area of the striking blade comprises an area starting from bottom left edge of the striking blade and an area starting from bottom right edge of the striking blade. In another aspect, cells of a lattice structure contain a soft filler material in an area of the lattice structure in the handle and/or in an area of the lattice structure in a base area in which the striking blade connects to the handle. In another aspect, a lattice structure comprises a recess extending laterally from one side to the other side of the lattice structure on a surface of the lattice structure.
