Abstract

The present invention relates to the design and manufacture of sport rackets, and in particular to those of tennis rackets. The improvements herein also apply to rackets used as toys and for games. Particular focus is on the design of the string surface of the racket utilizing pre-woven strings, which necessitates a radical redesign of the racket assembly and the manufacturing process. The redesign also implies a change in the marketing of the racket and the strings.
