ABSTRACT:
A racket or paddle handle for use in all racket or paddle sports that is intended to cool the user's hand and reduce the shock that occurs when a racket or paddle impacts on a ball, the handle having a handgrip comprised of a central body having concavely curved front and rear surfaces which extend a substantial distance along the handgrip, and an exterior shell dispersed on opposite sides of the central body, covering the front and rear surfaces. The shell has a plurality of ventilation openings formed therein that communicate with two separate ventilation chambers that are formed between each of the front and rear surfaces and the shell. Two air inlets are formed on opposite sides of the handgrip at a head end, each air inlet opening into a respective one of the ventilation chambers at the head end. Each ventilation chamber is substantially deeper along a central longitudinal portion than along an end portion that is adjacent a butt end of the handgrip. In a preferred embodiment, the exterior shell of the handle is part of a single integral unit that includes the air intakes. The integral unit also forms a head on which racket strings are mounted.
