ABSTRACT:
A sports racquet, for example for tennis, includes a main frame member defining a head portion, a throat area, and a shaft portion. A throat bridge spans the opposed legs of the main frame member in the throat area to define, with the head portion, an enclosed area for supporting strings. The throat bridge includes a pair of upper and lower bridge sections which extend generally transversely and are spaced apart longitudinally to define a cutout area therebetween. A piece of vibration absorbing material is positioned between the upper and lower bridge sections. The upper and lower bridge sections and vibration absorbing piece have aligned holes for receiving strings. At least some of the longitudinal racquet strings extend through aligned holes through the upper and lower bridge pieces and vibration absorbing material, such that the strings are supported by the lower bridge piece, and are in contact with the vibration absorbing material, which lies between opposite support points of strings to dampen vibration. The defined structure also substantially reduces racquet vibration.
