<b>Abstracts:<p align=\"justify\"> <br /> <br /> <br /> Sport and leisure activities have grown tremendously in recent years, to the extent that practically everyone enjoys one form of activities or another. Most equipment on sale today really is at the high-tech and of design and advanced material construction. <p align=\"justify\"> <br /> <br /> <br /> The design and manufacture of sport equipment is based on several engineering and scientific disciplines. These include mechanical engineering design, biomechanics, fracture mechanics, material science, and many aspects of the anatomy and physiology of the participant.<p align=\"justify\"> <br /> <br /> <br /> The racket sports are the fastest expanding of all leisure activities. The philosophy behind modern racket designs is to improve the dynamic characteristics, to make ball control easier, and to damp dangerous vibrations set up by the stroke itself Today\'s racket construction are based on composite materials consisting of multiple fibre-reinforced layer. The idea of composites is a simple one in that a material with one set of properties (e.g polimer) is mixed with another material of different set of properties (e.g. glass of carbon fiber).By mixing carefully, a composite of both materials can be produced with properties combining the best of both worlds.<p align=\"justify\"> <br /> <br /> <br /> This book was written to describe the manufacturing a composite badminton racket by cold press molding technique. Using carbon fiber as reinforcement, and epoxy resin as matrix, the prototipe was made in order to compare with the composite badminton racket available in the sport market, in terms of micro structure, strength (tensile and ben ng), volume fiber fraction, and fiber orientation.<p align=\"justify\"> <br /> <br />
