  • the handle cap-side end of the electronics module 2 as shown in FIG. 7 is shown, extend beyond the handle portion 1 and be precisely embedded in the handle cap 11.
  • the handle cap 11 may for this purpose have a damping material that is suitable to protect the electronics module 2 from vibrations that occur during the game of the ball game racket.
  • such damping material is also provided between the lid 12 of the handle cap 11 and the handle cap-side end of the electronics module 2.
  • the handle cap 11 and the electronics module 2 can represent separate parts. Preferably, however, the handle cap 11 and the electronics module 2 are connected to each other or integrally formed, as for example in the embodiment in FIG. 9 is shown.
  • This has the advantage that the insertion of the electronics insert into the cavity of the handle portion and the application of the handle cap require no separate steps, but with one and the same movement of the electronics module 2 can be inserted into the cavity 3 of the handle portion 1 and the handle cap 11 the cavity 3 closes, at the same time stabilizes the electronics module 2 with a predetermined orientation in a predetermined position and the handle cap 11 is fixed.
  • the fixation the handle cap 11 on the handle portion 1 of the ball game racket is preferably carried out by a locking of the handle cap 11 with corresponding projections or the like on the handle portion 1.
  • a particularly preferred technique for corresponding fixation of the handle cap 11 on the handle portion 1 of the ball game racket is described in detail in the DE 10 2009 058 896 A1 whose contents are hereby fully incorporated by reference.
  • FIG. 9 Another preferred alternative to the simultaneous mechanical stabilization of the electronic insert 2 in the cavity 3 of the handle portion 1 of a ball game racket and the electrical connection of the electronic insert with provided in the ball game rack electronics is in FIG. 9 shown.
  • the connection is formed by a spring contact 13, on the one hand produces electrical contact between electronics in the ball game racket and a corresponding contact surface at the head end of the electronic insert and on the other hand with the help of the spring 13 immanenten spring force the electronics insert 2 against the lid 12 of the handle cap 11 presses
  • a damping material 8 is provided between the cover 12 of the handle cap 11 and the handle cap-side end of the electronic insert 2.
  • various communication interfaces 4 and 14 may be provided. This may be, for example, a USB port 4, by means of which the electronics module 2 can be connected to an external device. Alternatively or additionally, a device 14 for wireless configuration may be present, for example for connection to external devices via WLAN and / or Bluetooth.
  • a corresponding communication with external devices is also possible when the electronics module 2 is received in the cavity 3 of the handle portion 1.
  • the cover 12 of the handle cap 11 is preferably designed such that the wireless communication with the communication device 14 can take place through the cover 12.
  • a user interface is provided on the handle cap side, which is suitable for communicating visually (eg with the aid of LEDs, a display or the like) and / or acoustically (eg with the aid of a loudspeaker) with a user.
  • visually e.g with the aid of LEDs, a display or the like
  • acoustically e.g with the aid of a loudspeaker
  • the help of such a user interface can give specific instructions to the player (such as "now beat") or submit results of the evaluation of the measured data to the player (eg "good shot”).
