Abstract: A racquetball or tennis racquet having a frame of polygonal configuration within which the webbing of the racquet is held for engagement of the ball to be hit. The frame includes two flat or straight sections, one on the end of the flat side section of the racquet and one on one side which provides for more webbing in those areas and permits the flat end section of the racquet to be used closer to the playing surface and the flat side section of the racquet to be used closer to the wall. The frame terminates rearwardly in a throat in turn terminating in a shaft which is encased with contoured grips on each side to form a handle for the racquet which will receive the grasp of a hand of the player and which terminates in an enlarged butt end thus preventing slipping of the hand of the player off the handle.
