2 . The sporting equipment of claim 1 , wherein:

the head includes:

a beam; and

a webbing of strings at least partially surrounded by the beam; and

the webbing of strings are formed from fibers that are continuous with and structurally make up the beam.

3 . The sporting equipment of claim 1 , further including a functional component imbedded within at least one of the head and the at least one of the handle and the shaft.

4 . The sporting equipment of claim 3 , wherein the functional component is at least one of a resistor, a capacitor, an LED, a switch, a battery, and a filter.

5 . The sporting equipment of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the head and the at least one of the handle and the shaft are fabricated from a plurality of different types of fibers.

6 . The sporting equipment of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of different types of fibers includes:

a structural type of fiber; and

a functional type of fiber.

7 . The sporting equipment of claim 6 , wherein the functional type of fiber includes at least one of an electrically conductive fiber, an optical fiber, and a shape memory fiber.

8 . The sporting equipment of claim 7 , wherein the structural type of fiber includes at least one of an aramid fiber, a carbon fiber, and a glass fiber.

9 . The sporting equipment of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the head and the at least one of the handle and the shaft are fabricated from a plurality of different types of resins.

10 . The sporting equipment of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of different types of resins includes:

a structural type of resin; and

a functional type of resin.

11 . The sporting equipment of claim 10 , wherein:

the structural type of resin is stiff after curing; and

the functional type of resin is flexible after curing.

12 . The sporting equipment of claim 1 , wherein the head includes a plurality of fibers overlapping in at least one of different directions and different densities.

13 . The sporting equipment of claim 12 , wherein the at least one of different directions and different densities is customizable.

14 . The sporting equipment of claim 13 , wherein the at least one of different directions and different densities is user-selectable.

15 . The sporting equipment of claim 13 , wherein the at least one of different directions and different densities is automatically selected based on at least one of a monitored user performance or a scan of a user.

16 . A method of manufacturing a sporting equipment, comprising:

wetting a continuous fiber with a matrix;

discharging a matrix-wetted continuous fiber through a nozzle;

moving the nozzle during discharging to extend the matrix-wetted continuous fiber from a head of the sporting equipment through at least one of a handle and a shaft; and

exposing the matrix wetting the continuous fiber to a cure energy.

17 . The method of claim 16 , further including moving the nozzle during discharging to extend a matrix-wetted continuous fiber from a beam of the head through a webbing that is at least partially surrounded by the beam.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein:

moving the nozzle during discharging to extend the matrix-wetted continuous fiber from the head of the sporting equipment through the at least one of the handle and the shaft includes extending a structural type of fiber; and

moving the nozzle during discharging to extend the matrix-wetted continuous fiber from the beam of the head through the webbing includes extending a functional type of fiber that is different from the structural type of fiber.

19 . The method of claim 16 , further including imbedding at least one of a resistor, a capacitor, an LED, a switch, a battery, a filter, and an interrogator within at least one of the head and the at least one of the handle and the shaft.

20 . The method of claim 16 , further including:

at least one of monitoring a performance of a user of the sporting equipment and scanning a body of the user; and

customizing at least one of a direction and a density of the matrix-wetted continuous fiber within the sporting equipment based on at least one of a monitored performance and a scanned body of the user.
