Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016030722A1] A bat 10 for playing ball games comprises a handle 12 and a ball-striking head 14 having a monolithic structure comprising a pair of spaced apart outer lattices 16 which define rigid, unstressed ball-striking surfaces and a plurality of discrete internal struts 26 which are integrally moulded with the lattices so as to extend between the lattices. Each lattice includes a distributed and connected network of alternating nodal areas 22 and unobstructed openings 24. Each nodal area comprises a web having an irregular outer surface provided by perforations in the web which reduce an unpleasant high-pitched noise generated when a resilient ball having a smooth outer surface is struck by the bat.
