Abstract
A tennis racket provided with a vibration damping device. The racket includes at least one pair of viscoelastic dampers, symmetric relative to a longitudinal axis of the racket and working in opposition. Each damper of the pair consists of a plate of viscoelastic material, whose one face is glued against the racket at a selected spot of the racket, and which includes on its other face a stress plate of rigid material. The selected spot corresponds to the antinode of a specific mode of vibration of the racket.
