Abstract
A method of making a pipe-like member such as a fishing rod and a golf club is disclosed. According to the method, a tape-like prepreg is formed by overlaying each other a first fiber layer comprised of fibers aligned along a longitudinal direction of the layer and a second fiber layer comprised of fibers aligned in a direction substantially normal to the fiber alignment direction of the first fiber layer. Then, the tape-like prepreg is wound about a mandrel with a turn of the prepreg being widthwise overlapped with an adjacent turn of the prepreg. Thereafter, the assembly is sintered.
