Abstract:
A racket (10) comprising:a frame (11) having multiple through holes (17) defined in a periphery of the frame (11) to allow strings (50) to interlock within the confines of the frame (11) to form a net-like structure; a throat (15) integrally connected to the frame (11); a hollow shaft (12) integrally extending from the throat (15) opposite to the frame (11) and forming a handle (16) on a free end of the shaft (12), wherein the shaft (12) comprises a partition (121) longitudinally formed in the shaft (12); and a hollow end piece (20) attached to the free end of the shaft (12), the hollow end piece (20) including a rod (22) diametrically formed in the end piece (20) perpendicular to the frame (11) to allow the strings (50) to loop through the end piece (20), and the rod (22) comprises a groove (221) defined longitudinally in the rod (22) to receive an end of the partition (121) in the shaft (12); wherein the longitudinal strings near a middle portion of the frame pass through the throat (15) and into the shaft (12) and loop around the rod (22) in the end piece (20), and the strings (50) pass through the shaft (12) into the confines of the frame (11) again to lengthen the longitudinal strings (50), such that the lengthened longitudinal strings absorb the reactive force and prevent the players from sustaining sport injuries.
