Abstract: Ball game racket, especially tennis racket or squash racket has a frame made of plastics, which in the plane of stringing provided on the head is designed in two parts and whose halves exhibit a trough-shaped cross section profile--open toward central plane (M)--with a concave wall, whose two longitudinal sides, bordering the open side of the cross section profile, are adjacent to central plane (M). The halves are connected to one another by connecting pins, formed on the respective wall, as well as sleeve-like sections receiving them. The connecting pins and sleeve-like sections each merge directly into the wall in the area of longitudinal sides or alternately to this the frame halves, at least on some connecting pins provided on the head and/or sleeve-like sections, exhibit a distance from one another, and the strings forming the stringing are run around these connecting pins or sleeve-like sections.
