Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ball game racket or the like, such as a tennis racket, squash racket, badminton racket, etc.
  • such a racket consists of a handle, aligned in the longitudinal axis of a flat basket.
  • This basket is composed of a frame carrying a sieve formed by the cord, intended for striking the ball.
  • the basket is connected to the handle either directly or via two branches in the shape of a "V".
  • the part of the frame connecting the end of the two branches of the "V" is called "bridge”.
  • a tennis racket is used, among other things, to make two main strokes: the "forehand” and the "backhand".
  • the overall position of the racket sieve plane at the time of impact with the ball is similar.
  • the plane of the sieve is then practically perpendicular to the ground, as well as to the direction provided for the return of the ball, the head of the racket being slightly raised relative to the handle.
  • One of the aims of the invention is to modify, without shifting the center of gravity of the racket with respect to its median longitudinal axis, or more precisely with respect to the median longitudinal plane containing this axis and orthogonal to the plane of the racket, of this racket while correcting, by the structure of said racket, the discomfort caused by offset of impacts.
  • Another object of the invention is to improve the stability of the racket, and therefore the accuracy of the shots, in particular on “worked”, “lifted” or “caught” shots.
  • These strokes unlike the "flat” strokes, are strongly eccentric on the racket sieve, and it is therefore important to design a racket which can compensate, by its structure, for asymmetrical use.
  • the invention relates for this purpose to a racket for a ball game, or the like, generally comprising a handle aligned in the longitudinal axis of a flat basket which comprises a frame carrying a sieve formed by the rope and intended for striking the ball, a longitudinal plane which is orthogonal to the surface of this sieve and which comprises the longitudinal axis of the handle as well as the center of gravity of the racket, dividing the frame into two half-parts which, all by giving the racket an almost symmetrical external appearance, in reality has different physical characteristics.
  • physical characteristics is meant here both mechanical characteristics and dynamic and / or aerodynamic characteristics.
  • FIG. 1 it is a tennis racket with a completely conventional external appearance, and resembling at first glance most of the rackets currently sold by the Applicant.
