ABSTRACT:
The invention is for an improvement of a conventional sports racket, especially the tennis racket, and is directed to the end cap on the racket handle. The end cap is made into two parts, one an end closure fixed at the butt end of the handle of the racket. The other part becomes an abutment device which is made from rubber-like material, having a profile similar to the conventional end cap but its inner circumference is less than the circumference of the handle, so that after it is stretched and installed over the handle at a desired location along the axis of the handle, the friction is sufficient to effectively fix the abutment device on the handle. This arrangement provides the support for the hand of the racket user. The rearrangement of the support point of the hand on the handle, changes the balance of the racket and the center of percussion of the racket, and affects the impact power and swinging effort to operate the racket, which is a desirable feature previously not available to players who utilize conventional sports racket.
