<p>A sports bat has a handle and a ball striking portion. The ball striking portion comprises a spine in the form of a fibre reinforced polymeric member extending along the entire length of the bat, a polymeric core moulded onto the spine end extending the length of the ball striking portion of the bat, and a polymeric outer cover on the ball striking portion of the bat. The reinforced polymeric member has a handle end portion and a ball striking end portion, the polymeric core has an outer region which is fibre reinforced over the ball striking region of the bat and the outer cover is resiliently deformable to enable it to distribute the force of an impact on the cover over an area of the fibre reinforced core.</p> |
