Abstract
A two-piece grommet assembly for a sports racquet. The sports racquet includes a frame having a plurality of grommet holes and at least one racquet string. The grommet assembly includes first and second grommet members. The first grommet member includes a first strip and at least two spaced-apart barrels extending generally perpendicular from the first strip. Each barrel includes a first string hole and is configured to extend through a separate grommet hole in the frame. The second grommet member includes a second strip and at least two spaced-apart pegs extending generally perpendicular from the second strip. Each peg has a second string hole. The second strip contacts the first strip, and the pegs extend into the barrels such that the first and second string holes are generally co-axially aligned. The first grommet member is configured to substantially isolate the pegs and the second strip from the frame.
