Abstract

The modification can be used for all types of tennis racket with either normal or large mesh. The handle of the tennis racket is bent at 45 deg. with respect to the central axis of the racket but in the same plane as its frame. The point of inflexion of the median axis with the handle plane, is about 15cm from the end of the handle. - The handle is longer than usual but the total length of the racket is the same. The advantage is that it allows the wrist to be held in a natural position, and allows strokes to be played more easily. Also the angles at which the ball can be played is more diverse than for a classical racket.(1/1)

A partir d'une raquette de tennis classique,réglementaire, à tamis de tous genre (tamis normal,grand tamis,...), bref,de tous les types de raquettes qui existent à l'heure actuelle,la modification consiste à donner au manche de la raquette la forme d'un coude.

Tennis racket with bent handle.

  
Description

  
From a classic tennis racket, regulatory, sieve of all kinds (normal sieve, large sieve, ...), in short, of all types of rackets that exist at present, the modification consists in giving the handle of the racket has the shape of an elbow.

end of the handle (measurement taken on a straight racket, that is to say in the middle axis). This gives a longer handle, while keeping the same total racket height, which gives more strength. main advantage of

  
this new handle is that it returns to the wrist its natural position, that is to say an upright position. We can thus more easily succeed shots that required a great effort of maintenance on the part of the wrist (copps lifted, cut, service , etc ...). In addition, the amplitude of the rotation effects printed on the ball is increased and this grip

  
racket allows shooting angles difficult to achieve until then with a conventional racket.

  
the tests carried out with a view to its manufacture will certainly give rise to slight modifications (if fabrica-

approximate ("approximately"). In addition, the elbow thus formed being rounded, these measurements are fairly flexible.
