A combination visual aid and protective device for use on the string end of a game racquet frame, the device being constructed of a thin, light-weight, brightly colored vinyl material that is predisposed to assume an arcuate shape that intimately conforms to the complex curved surface of the game racquet frame, in a manner to prevent the device from slipping relative to the frame. The device includes a plurality of stress relief holes that function to permit the device to conform to the racquet frame surface and to reduce its weight as much as possible. The visual aid and protective device is attached to the string end of the game racquet frame by a plurality of plastic coated wire-like attachment devices having generally rectangular cross-sections. These attachment devices engage corresponding, generally oval attachment holes in opposite attachment tabs of the protective device, in a manner to distribute the force (stress) of the attachment devices across more surface area of the holes in order to permit a tighter contact of the device with the racquet frame, without causing the attachment devices to tear through the tabs at the attachment holes. |
