Abstract
A racket for tennis, badminton, squash or the like. The racket has a generally conventional oval frame with a handle. A one-piece molded plastic meshed netting is provided with oval strands parallel to the oval frame and radiating strands intersecting and bracing the oval strands. Thickened ends of the radiating strands pass through holes in the frame where they are secured either by a belting strand passing through loops at the ends of the radiating strands or by merely passing through the loops of adjacent radiating strands. The belting strand and other pairs of radiating strands are hooked onto one of two pins each in a tube in the handle. The tubes are adjustable axially by a screwthreaded plug and a screw at the butt end of the handle, each cooperating with one of the tubes for adjusting the tension of the netting.
