A method of manufacturing a composite sporting stick, club or bat such as a hockey stick (10 figure 1) by assembling mating foam cores (20 figure 2) (21, 22 figure 3) 26-29 with fibre sheets (24 figure 3) 30-32, with the fibre sheets forming reinforcing ribs sandwiched between mating faces of the foam cores. The stick being provided with fibre sheets around the outside of the foam cores to form an external shell 16. The fibre sheets are impregnated with resin if they are not already impregnated with resin and cured in a mould (40 figure 6). Heat may be applied while the stick is in the mould to cure the resin. The number of foam cores may vary along the length of the stick. Also claimed is the stick produced by the above method. |
