A tennis or squash racket is provided wherein, by changing the number of strings in the racket and rearranging their location the shock of the impact of the ball upon the racket is resiliently absorbed over a longer period of time than heretofore, and a better control of the ball is obtained. A center group of vertical strings is provided, wherein the strings are closely spaced about the center of the racket and two strings are positioned on either side of the center group which are further apart in the remaining racket space. There is a horizontal string group closely spaced principally about the center with a fewer number of strings on either side between the horizontal string group and the top and the bottom of the racket.

A racket having improved ball impact properties comprising a frame defining a central opening. a handle extending outwardly from said frame, first string means forming a vertical plurality of strings extending in the direction of said handle, spaced over said central opening and being attached to said frame under tension through holes in said frame, said vertical plurality of strings including a vertical central group of substantially equally spaced strings, disposed on either side of the center line extending through the handle of said racket, a first pair of vertical strings positioned at one side of said vertical central group of strings, one of the strings in said first pair being spaced one inch from the nearest string of said central group of strings, the other string of said first pair being spaced one inch from said one of said first pair of strings, and a second pair of vertical strings positioned on the other side of said central group of strings, one of said second pair being one inch from the nearest string in said central vertical group of strings, the other string of said second pair being spaced one inch from said one string of said second pair of strings, second string means forming a horizontal plurality of strings extending at right angles to said vertical plurality of strings, spaced over said central opening and being attached to said frame under tension through holes in said racket, said second string means including, a first group of horizontal strings evenly spaced from one another within the central opening of said racket, the first string of said first group of strings being positioned substantially 2⅜inches below the top of said racket, a first group of three strings spaced between the lowermost of said first group of horizontal strings, and said racket handle, a first of said first group being spaced substantially ¾of an inch away from said lowermost of said horizontal group of strings, the next string of said first group being spaced substantially ⅞of an inch away from the first string, and the last string of said first group being spaced one inch away from said next string, and a second group of strings spaced between the top most of said first group of horizontal strings and the top of said racket, a first string of said second group being spaced substantially ⅝of an inch away from said topmost string of said first group, and a second string of said second group being spaced substantially ¾of an inch away from said first string of said second group of horizontal strings.
