Abstract: A paddle racquet having a substantially solid contact surface is provided for indoor and outdoor racquet sports. The racquet has a grip for a hand manipulation thereof connected to a substantially solid contact surface. The contact surface is textured with contact control indentations, composed of textured indentations and perforated indentations. The textured indentations reside on both the forehand and the backhand surface in a multiplicity of configurations. The perforated indentations reside on both forehand and backhand surfaces with a connection therethrough by a conical perforation. The base of the conical perforation communicates with the forehand surface, whereas the apex of the conical perforation communicates with the backhand surface. The perforated indentations establish a pattern in the contact control indentations to maximize flexibility of the substantially solid contact surface and minimize the wind resistance during use.
