Abstract
A construction for a tennis racket is provided which includes a frame formed of graphite material, or the like, which defines a loop, and a handle formed of two longitudinal sections, and composed of aluminum, or other light metal or alloy. The handle is formed of two stampings which are held together by elongated brackets extending along each side of the handle and adhesively bonded to the respective edges of the stampings. The frame has an integral neck formed at one end thereof which extends radially outwardly from the loop. The inner ends of the stampings extend over the neck and partially around the outer periphery of the frame to sandwich the frame and neck between the stampings. The stampings are also adhesively bonded to the neck and frame so that the handle is securely attached to the frame.
