Apparatus to test for the impact strength of a game racket comprising a base plate having an upper surface; a support post extending upwardly from the upper surface of the base plate; a pivot arm having a first end and a second end with clamping components adjacent to the first end adapted to releasably secure the racket to be tested with at least a portion thereof extending beyond the first end; a pivot pin rotatably coupling the second end of the pivot arm to the support post adjacent to its upper end; a pointer coupled to the second end of the pivot arm; an indicator plate with indicia thereon cooperable with the pointer to indicate the angle of the pointer, pivot arm and racket supported thereon with respect to the vertical; and an impact place secured to the upper surface of the base plate, the impact plate having a striking surface with a central extent at a location to be in point contact with the frame of a racket to be tested when supported by the swing arm when in a vertical orientation whereby the swing arm and racket may be pivoted away from the impact plate and released to determine the impact strength of the racket and frame.
