Abstract: A laminated pickle ball paddle and method of making a compression molding a flat panel, therefore. The flat paddle made of a multi-layer laminate stack having, two layers of woven fiber material which are preimpregnated with a polymer resin, a sound deadening layer sandwiched between adhesive layers, and a central core layer made of a structural balsa material, a polypropylene honey comb material and or cork. On the other side or the central core another a sound deadening layer is sandwiched between adhesive layers, and there is another two layers of woven fiber material which are preimpregnated with a polymer resin, The stacked layers can be hot press for a period of time between platens to cure the preimpregnated polymer then partially cooled and removed from the press. Alternatively, the two layers of woven fiber material which are preimpregnated with a polymer resin can be procured together before the stacked layers can be hot press for a period of time between platens.
