Abstract: A racket assembly may include a racket, and at least one sensor operatively coupled to the racket. The at least one sensor may be configured to generate a signal indicative of at least one parameter related to use of the racket. The racket assembly may also include a processor configured to receive the signal as an input and generate an output based on the signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a racket for ball games comprising a frame forming a head portion and a handle portion, wherein the head portion accommodates a string bed comprising strings and defining a string plane, wherein the strings of the string bed are passed through several holes in the head portion, wherein at least three strings are passed through three of said holes in such a way that the longitudinal axis of each of said three holes extends in a first direction and the string passed through the hole extends within the string bed in a second direction, wherein the first and the second direction include an angle having an absolute value between 0.5° and 15° and wherein the absolute values of the angles of these three strings differ by maximally 3°.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a racket for ball games having a frame comprising a head portion for receiving a stringing and a handle portion for gripping the racket, wherein the frame comprises at least one transparent or translucent portion formed from a transparent or translucent material, said transparent or translucent portion being integrally bonded to the remaining frame. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing such a racket is described.

Abstract: A tennis racket may include a handle with a butt end, and a head configured to support strings. The tennis racket may also include a throat connecting the handle and the head, wherein the racket may have a Power Maneuverability Ratio from about 4500 to about 7915, the Power Maneuverability Ratio governed by the equation: PMR= ( S ? ? W ) ? ( R ? ? W ) ( P ? ? U ? ? W ) , where SW=the moment of inertia in kilogram-centimeters squared of the tennis racket about a swingweight axis that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the tennis racket, parallel to a tennis ball hitting surface contained by the head, and intersecting a point on the handle that is four inches from the butt end along the longitudinal axis, R ? ? W = S ? ? W - ( W ? ? t 1000 ) ? ( b 10 - 10.16 ) 2 , Wt=the weight of the racket in grams, b=the distance in millimeters between a center of gravity of the racket to the butt end.
