ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a structurally-improved racket handle designed to increase the area of the palm in contact with the racket handle thereby allowing a better grip than presently available racket handles. This affords greater power transfer while returning serves, volleying, serving, and other strokes due to the provision of an oblique surface 11 cm. in length that extends from the bottom end of the racket handle in alignment with its central axis and is beveled from the butt in a graduated, constant, or curved manner. The resulting graduated, constant, or curved surfaces yields a naturally formed wedge-shaped edge that fits snugly into the muscles and bones of the palm and muscles of each finger, and enables the palm to naturally assume a tight, circular, yet comfortable grip. The graduated, constant, or curved surfaces that slant upward from the butt of the racket handle offer support to the hypothenar eminence, os pisiforme, and hamulus oss'a hamate against pressure generated during play, making it easier to maximize serving power and other techniques.
