The present invention relates to an improved racket for ball games, in particular a tennis racket, squash racket, badminton racket, racquet ball racket or paddle tennis racket comprising a frame consisting of a racket head and a handle portion connected thereto and being formed of a frame profile, wherein the racket head defines a stringing plane. The frame profile comprises four trough-shaped depressions which are arranged opposite to one another in pairs and essentially symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis of the racket. The depressions are preferably formed in the area between two o'clock and four o'clock and/or eight o'clock and ten o'clock on the racket head. Particularly preferably, the positions are at about three o'clock and/or nine o'clock. The racket of the present invention thus exhibits particularly advantageous ball control characteristics.

Racket for ball games and production process

The present invention relates to a racket for ball games, in particular a tennis racket, squash racket, badminton racket, racquet ball racket or paddle tennis racket comprising a frame consisting of a racket head and a handle portion connected thereto and being formed of a hollow profile. The hollow profile is formed by winding a plurality of web-like layers. On the racket head and/or in the heart region, the racket comprises at least one dampening layer being wrapped between the layers forming the hollow profile. The racket thus exhibits excellent dampening characteristics and can effectively minimize shock and/or vibration.

The frame profile comprises at least one opening extending through the frame profile essentially perpendicular with respect to the stringing plane of the racket. Preferably, at least two openings of this kind are provided essentially symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis of the racket at about two o'clock to four o'clock and/or eight o'clock to ten o'clock on the racket head. Particularly preferably, the openings are at about three o'clock and/or nine o'clock. The racket of the present invention thus exhibits particularly advantageous ball control characteristics.
