Where a super-elastic alloy is used as a core material, boundary
separation can be prevented on substantial deflection. The super-elastic
alloy is used as the core material, an outside layer made with
fiber-reinforced resin is provided outside except the tip part region of
the core material, and a resin-rich layer greater in resin ratio than the
outside layer is provided between the outside layer and the core material
so as to be adjacent to the core material.
