Abstract
A frame for a games racket comprises a hollow plastics moulding which is at least partially reinforced by means of a rigid member integrally moulded therewith. The rigid member can consist of a metal plate having perforations which, when the plate and the plastics material are moulded together, are penetrated by the plastics material, which sets therein to lock the plate to the moulding. The plate may, for example, extend over an area corresponding to the crown portion of the frame so as to provide for localized reinforcement, particularly, in the event of impact (e.g. when the racket is dropped on to a hard surface).
