ABSTRACT:
Provided is an elastomeric shock absorbing device mountable in a racket such as tennis racket. The device comprises a cylindrical first cushioning member including two annular flanges in its top and bottom respectively, an intermediate annular recess, a spherical chamber provided in its center, and a channel in communication between the top flange and the chamber; a plurality of elastomeric balls received in the chamber by putting into the channel; and a ring-shaped second cushioning member including an annular groove, the second cushioning member being adapted to mount around the recess, wherein three straight wires of a network of the racket pass three sides of the groove for fastening the shock absorbing device in an open space of the network. A number of embodiments are possible for the purposes of balance, decreasing reaction, and increasing strength in hitting a ball.
