Tennis racquet with high friction stringing - has friction inserts with V-shape grooves wedged at crossing point of strings

摘要

The tennis racket has crossing strings which tend to loose their proper spacing during play. to prevent the strings (3, 4) from sliding relative to each other a grooved insert (5) is located at each point where two strings cross. The inserts, which are made from a material of a high friction coefficient, have also VEE-shaped string grooves to provide wedge location on the strings. The inserts (5) protrude above the strings (4, 3) on each side of the racket. They thus produce a racket surface which gives a high friction when in contact with a tennis ball. It is therefore easily possible to produce tennis strokes which provide plenty of ball spin.
