Patent ID: 10143901

Abstract:
A shaft 6 includes a plurality of layers formed by fiber reinforced resins. The layers include a hoop layer and bias layers. The hoop layer includes a full length hoop layer s9 constituted with a prepreg having a fiber elastic modulus of equal to or greater than 30 (tf/mm2) and having a fiber weight per unit area of equal to or greater than 50 (g/m2) but equal to or less than 80 (g/m2). The bias layers s2, s3, s4, and s5 include high elasticity containing bias layers s4 and s5 constituted with a prepreg contacting a high elastic pitch-based carbon fiber having a fiber elastic modulus of equal to or greater than 80 (tf/mm2). Preferably, the full length hoop layer s9 is disposed outside the high elasticity containing bias layers s4 and s5.
