<p>A ball bat includes a barrel, a handle, and a tapered section joining the barrel to the handle. The barrel includes an outer wall and an interface section located within the outer wall. The interface section includes one or more layers of non-resin-impregnated fabric sandwiched between a plurality of resin-impregnated composite layers. A method of constructing a ball bat includes the steps of placing a substantially cylindrical layer of fabric between a plurality of resin-impregnated layers to form an interface section. The interface section is placed between a plurality of substantially cylindrical outer wall sections made up of a plurality of composite plies. Heat and pressure are applied to the interface section and the composite plies to induce a flow of resin from the resin-impregnated layers into the fabric layer, and to form an integral bat barrel. The interface section provides added durability and "trampoline effect" to the bat.</p> |
