The present invention relates to a ball game racket with strings that comprise at least one string comprising a superelastic material.

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 string set is a string set strung on a racket as a main string and a cross string, and is configured to include a first string strung as any one of the main string and the cross string and has a small friction force and a small diameter and a second string strung as another one of the main string and the cross string and has a larger friction force and a larger diameter than the diameter and the surface friction force of the first string. This distributes functions to the first string and the second string to obtain both the hairpin performance, which is improved by the large surface friction force and outer diameter of the string, and the cut smash performance, which is improved by the small surface friction force and outer diameter of the string, at the same time.
