| A racquet (or racket) is a sports implement consisting of a handled frame with an open hoop across which a network of cord is stretched. It is used for striking a ball in such games as squash, tennis, racquetball, and badminton. Collectively, these games are known as racquet sports. Wood is still used for real tennis, racquets, and xare. Most racquets are now made of composite materials including carbon fibre, glassfibre, metals such as titanium alloys or ceramics. |
