ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a tennis racket accessory that adds weight at a selected position on a tennis racket and allows the player to position and remove the weight on tennis rackets of different sizes. The weight holder is made of a flexible material that wraps around a tennis racket handle and overlaps at the ends. The holder comprises two, spaced pockets with a weight in each pocket. The weights are in the shape of a cylinder. Each of the pockets are of sufficient size to permit its weight to roll along the holder lengthwise dimension over a distance that permits the weights to be moved by hand to opposite sides of the racket handle, and movable angularly to line up with the direction of the respective racket handle side.
The holder includes means to fasten the ends together after it has been wrapped around the racket handle. The weights can be tightly pressed against the racket handle sides and the holder retained on the racket handle. The invention further provides method for placing the weight holder on the racket and a method for placing the weight holder on the racket to retain the racket feel.
