The present invention relates generally to the field of rackets. More specifically, the present invention relates to racket device. The device is primarily comprised of frame with at least one string, a handle, and at least one grommet. The device has at least one angled string area that has at least one string that is received by the grommet. Said angled string area does not sit in plane with the frame and other strings of the device. Due to the angled positioning of the angled string area, a ball is prevented from hitting the frame of the device, thereby preventing mishits.

A strung bat for use in playing cricket includes an elongate handle for a user to hold and a blade elongated in the direction of the handle. The blade includes a perimeter defining an internal space that is strung with an array of strings for hitting a ball. The perimeter frame has a leading edge and an opposing trailing edge, and the array of strings lies in a plane that may be substantially aligned with the leading edge of the frame or is closely adjacent to the leading edge of the frame. An apparatus for playing the game using the strung bat is also disclosed.

A tennis racket includes a frame and a grommet. The frame includes a grommet groove, a small groove, and a hole. The small groove is recessed from the grommet groove. The grommet includes a base and a pipe. In a state where the grommet is attached to the frame, the base is accommodated in the grommet groove, and the pipe extends through the hole. The base is not positioned inside the small groove. Therefore, at the back of a back side surface of the base, there is a space derived from the small groove.

A face of a racket includes a plurality of first longitudinal threads, a plurality of second longitudinal threads, and a plurality of transverse threads. The first longitudinal threads and the second longitudinal threads are arranged alternately from a center of the face toward outside in a width direction of the racket. A material of each first longitudinal thread is different from a material of each second longitudinal thread. A tension of the first longitudinal thread may be different from a tension of the second longitudinal thread. Preferably, a ratio (N1/N2) of a number N1 of the first longitudinal threads to a number N2 of the second longitudinal threads is greater than or equal to 2/8, but less than or equal to 8/2.

A racket includes: a grip; an annular frame; and a shaft coupling the grip and the frame together; wherein a projection is provided to an outer peripheral face on a leading end half of the frame in a predetermined range including a location of maximum curvature in a peripheral direction.

A grommet of a racket includes a tubular portion. The tubular portion has a through hole through which a string is passed. The through hole has a base-side opening, a side wall, and a tip-side opening. In the tip-side opening, an inner dimension in a direction parallel to a face is larger than an inner dimension in a direction perpendicular to the face. In the tubular portion, the string is in contact with the side wall from the base-side opening to the tip-side opening.
