ABSTRACT:
An improved racket is provided for use in tennis and the like which is believed to enable a user to hit with more power while reducing the torsional forces on the arm. The racket of the invention includes a handle having a bent or offset portion which is of such a shape that the centerline of the racket head is substantially colinear with that of the forearm of the user and thus the racket head is effectively an extension of the arm. When viewed in plan, the throat or shaft of the racket is preferably offset downwardly about 32.degree. relative to the grip or butt portion of the handle while the racket head is preferably offset upwardly about 5.degree. relative to the throat. The racket also includes an improved grip which is fit to the hand of the user.
