Abstract

A racket string alignment device for aligning crisscrossed strings forming the face of a sports racket. The device features a body in a cup or hemispheric shape adapted for easy gripping by the palm and hand of a user. Projections extending from an axle engaged roller have distal ends adapted to easily engage within rectangles formed by the strings of the face and realign them. The axle is in floating engagement with the body to allow the body to tile while maintaining the axle substantially parallel to the face of the racket formed by the strings. Fluid applicators may be located between the projections to apply emollient to the strings and the rollers may be in a kit form allowing them to be changed for different sized racket faces with different sized rectangles in the crisscross pattern.
