Definitions
- the invention relates to a ball racket, in particular a squash racket.
- ball rackets generally have a relatively long grip part and a string oval that is relatively small in relation to the length of the racket.
- the properties relevant for the ball game were in principle known in the case of known rackets of the type mentioned at the materials used in the grip part between the string oval and the grip Cross sections controlled. Different materials have already been used for the construction of such rackets. In particular, it is already known to build racquets with a relatively low weight, such light racquets resulting in good racquet acceleration, but mostly not completely satisfactory ball acceleration. The light racket weight was achieved only in the case of rackets with a small striking area.
- the invention now aims to develop a ball racket, in particular squash racket, of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that, with low weight and thus rapid racket acceleration, this also ensures improved ball acceleration with the highest orientation precision and at the same time ensures pleasant playing behavior averages.
- the total weight of the racket in the unstrung state is less than 170 g and that the racket has a striking area of at least 330 cm 2 , in particular at least 350 cm 2 .
- rackets with a relatively low weight have already been proposed in isolated cases, with lighter rackets generally resulting in a significantly smaller striking surface.
- the head weight is understood to be the weight which can be measured as a support force when the racket is stored at the handle end in the horizontal position of the racket at the head end.
- a racket whose head weight is greater than half the racket weight is considered to be slightly top-heavy, whereas a racket with a lower head weight than half the racket weight would be described as grip-heavy according to this measurement method.
- the design according to the invention of designing the racket in the unstrung state with a weight of less than 170 g, in particular less than 165 g, with a head weight of less than 83 g means that this is an almost balanced one Racket in a strung condition.
- a racket is thus obtained with which a responsive game is made possible because, due to the low racket weight and the weight distribution proposed according to the invention, the racket can be moved to the ball at high speed.
- the rackets known to date have used much higher head weights in order to achieve acceptable playing behavior. Even with previously known, extremely light rackets, the head weight was still significantly higher than the highest head weight proposed according to the invention, and in addition to much heavier rackets, rackets are already on the market, which are characterized by a Total weight of less than 170 g, especially less than 165 g, but at the same time have a head weight of significantly more than 83 g.
- the balance of the racket achieved by the combination proposed according to the invention leads, despite the low racket weight, to a high degree of stability and to a precise playing behavior, as was previously only possible with significantly heavier rackets. At the same time, despite the low racket weight, a similarly good ball acceleration is observed, it being advantageous in this context to string the much lighter rackets according to the invention with higher stringing forces. While conventional squash rackets are usually covered with about 12 kg, the rackets according to the invention should advantageously be covered with about 14 kg.
- a further significant improvement in the playing behavior and in particular a particularly high ball acceleration can be achieved according to the invention in that the moments of inertia around the end of the handle in a plane containing the covering and in a direction normal to this in each case less than 30 gm 2 , in particular less than 28.5 gm 2 .
- the values proposed according to the invention are clearly below the values known hitherto, although it would initially be feared that such lower moments of inertia could give rise to lower ball acceleration and lower impact precision or stability. Surprisingly, however, the opposite could be achieved, which means that if the cumulative conditions are observed, together with the conditions for the upper limit of the total weight and the head weight, a squash racket which is particularly easy and quick to accelerate can be achieved.
- the moments of inertia are determined when the racket is fixed at the end of the handle by measuring the pendulum movements of the racket during a movement in the plane containing the covering and in a direction normal to the covering level.
- the conditions are advantageously also observed that, for rackets with a heavy weight distance in the unclamped state, measured from the end of the handle, of less than 390 mm the ratio of the unclamped racket weight to the head weight less than 2.07 and that The ratio of the center of gravity to the uncovered racket weight is greater than 2.1, preferably the center of gravity of the uncovered racket from the end of the handle measured between 340 and 380 mm.
- the ratio of head weight to moment of inertia should advantageously be less than 2.8.1. All of these criteria have proven to be particularly advantageous for achieving neutral playing behavior and, overall, result in a balanced, rapidly accelerating squash racket with a high degree of impact precision.
