A frame for a game racquet such as a tennis racquet is formed by winding a filament over a mandrel to form a tube, wetting the filament with resin before or after winding, forming the wound tube into a preform, inserting the preform into a mold, and molding and curing the preform to form a rigid racquet frame.

Frame for a game racquet formed by filament winding

A frame for a game racquet such as a tennis racquet is formed by winding a resin-free filament over a mandrel to form a tube, inserting the wound tube into a mold, and injecting resin into the mold. The resin cures in the mold to form a rigid racquet frame

Method of making a continous fiber reinforced resin transfer molded

A tennis racket includes a one piece integrally molded frame with a handle portion and a pair of beams which extend from the handle portion to the top of the racket. The height and width of each beam varies along the length of the beam. In addition, each beam has a maximum width and height at the bottom of the strung surface proximate the intersection of the beams and a frame cross piece.
