ABSTRACT:
A handle for a racket of the type used in playing tennis and like sports includes an elongated shaft portion, a hollow grip portion attached to one end of the shaft portion and a frame portion connected to the other end of the shaft portion. The shaft portion includes two spaced apart hollow tube sections which, in their surfaces facing toward each other, are provided with slots extending in the longitudinal direction of the tube sections. The space between the portions of the tube sections which face each other in the transverse direction of the tube sections forms a Venturi region for creating a zone of reduced air pressure between the tube sections when the racket is swung during play. The zone of reduced air pressure cases air to be drawn from the interior of the tube sections through the longitudinal slots. The air drawn through the longitudinal slots is conducted from the tube sections and a passageway formed in the grip portion and through openings provided between the passageway and the periphery of the grip portion. The air flow generated when the racket is swung serves to ventilate the hand and to remove perspiration accumulating during play.
