ABSTRACT:
An improvement for application to the string network of a sports racket is disclosed as being in the form of an elastic band held in moving contact with one or more strings in the network for damping the shock produced on the network by a ball coming in playing contact therewith. The band may take various forms and be held in moving contact by various arrangements. The band may be rectangular, semi-circular or round in cross-section, or may be hollow. For moving with a string, the band may be glued to the same along most of the band or at certain points. In the alternative, the band may be spirally wound around a string to effect a tight fitting contact therewith. Still another alternative is to utilize a hollow band which has been slipped over one or more strings during the stringing of the network. To apply a hollow band after the network has been strung, the band may be slit longitudinally and when slipped over one or more strings. In all of these embodiments, the band must move with the string during shock vibrations in order to be effective.
