A racket frame includes a face portion. The face portion includes an inner circumferential surface, an outer circumferential surface, a first end portion (tip end portion), a second end portion (rear end portion), and a side end portion. The face portion is provided with a plurality of through holes in a circumferential direction of the face portion. Each of the plurality of through holes penetrates the inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface of the face portion. The plurality of through holes include a first hole and a second hole adjacent to each other. The first hole and the second hole are arranged in at least one of the first end portion (tip end portion), the second end portion (rear end portion), and the side end portion, and are inclined such that a distance therebetween becomes shorter from the outer circumferential surface toward the inner circumferential surface.

A sports racquet for supporting at least one racquet string and including a frame and at least one string support assembly. The frame includes handle and head portions separated by throat tubes. The head portion has grommet holes, and includes top, bottom, first side and second side regions. The string support assembly includes a grommet structure and at least one bearing element. The grommet structure includes a strip and at least two barrels extending from the strip. Each barrel includes a string hole extending along an axis of the barrel, and extends through a separate one of the grommet holes. The bearing element is coupled to the grommet structure, and includes an upper portion having a grooved rim engaging the string and a deflectable lower portion having opposing cutouts. The support assembly is positioned at one or more of the top, bottom, first side and second side regions.

A tennis racket with a more-responsive string configuration is an apparatus that allows a user to hit a tennis ball with spin and power in a controlled manner. The apparatus includes a closed-shape beam, a throat, an elongated handle, and a plurality of lines. The elongated handle allows the user to firmly grasp the apparatus, and the throat connects the elongated handle to the closed-shape beam. The plurality of lines is tensionably mounted within the closed-shape beam in order to provide the present invention with an elastic contact area for the tennis ball. Each of the plurality of lines includes a first string and a second string, which are positioned along each other for each of the plurality of lines. In addition, a lateral surface of the first string is positioned tangent to a lateral surface of the second string.

A stringing arrangement for a ball sports racket having a frame which surrounds a string array and in which the strings of a racket string-fitting are supported and guided by string guides formed on the frame, the string guides being formed asymmetrically in such a way that a free length of the string respectively guided on the string guide is, perpendicular to the striking direction and to a string-fitting plane of the racket, greater on one side of the string-fitting plane than on the other side of the string-fitting plane so that a tension and/or elasticity criterion of the stringing arrangement is different for each of the two sides of the string-fitting plane.

Disclosed is a tennis racket including: an oval frame adapted to support a latticework, and through-bands for the the strands of latticework cord, each band being received in an outer housing in the frame and including through-tubes for the strands, the tubes being inserted in the direction of the interior of the frame in through-holes provided in the frame. Each band is arranged flush with the outer edge of the cross-section of the frame, and an outer shell of the cross-section of the frame is essentially diamond shaped.

This is an improvement or change in tennis racket's strings position from the middle of the racket frame to the side of the tennis racket frame. An improvement in tennis racket to allow the player to create more and faster ball spins and to reduce errors in the game. A tennis racket with strings on both the sides of the frame, or only on one side of the tennis racket frame is my invention.

If not acceptable to the tennis authorities or player, a tennis racket frame with cross section diamond shape to allow the manufacturer to make the smallest possible size of tennis racket frame, so that players can create more and faster ball spins and reduce errors in their games.

A tubular member includes an inner frame portion, an outer frame portion, a wide portion, and a narrow portion. The inner frame portion includes a first inner frame section, a second inner frame section, and an inner connecting section. The outer frame portion includes a first outer frame section, a second outer frame section, and an outer connecting section. The wide portion extends straightly from the outer frame portion to the inner frame portion. The narrow portion interconnects the inner frame portion and the outer frame portion. The narrow portion is arc-shaped, and is spaced apart from the wide portion. A tennis racket includes a racket frame made by bending the tubular member as described previously to define a striking region, and the inner frame portion surrounds and is adjacent to the striking region.

The present invention relates to a grommet strip for a racket for ball games, wherein the grommet strip comprises a longitudinal direction and a plurality of grommets 1 comprising grommet through-holes 2, wherein each of the grommets 1 defines a grommet axis A and each of the grommet through-holes 2 defines a hole axis B, wherein the grommet axes A and the hole axes B extend substantially parallel to each other and wherein the hole axes B of some grommets are offset with respect to the grommet axes A thereof in the longitudinal direction of the grommet strip.
