Abstract: A game racket with a gripping handle having an end with a forwardly extending radial enlargement disposed substantially on one side of a plane defined by strings or an equivalent striking surface of the racket. The upper surface and at least a portion of the rear surface of the handle end are substantially smooth and non-enlarged to avoid jamming into the palm or heel of the hand which would interfere with wrist-snap movement desirable in many racket strokes, and the enlarged front portion of the handle end prevents the handle from slipping out of the player's grasp.
