  • Patent number: 5114145
    Abstract: The tennis racket frame according to the present invention has a total weight of 230-300 g and total length of 52-67 cm and a periodic damping ratio of 0.5-4.0%, which is constituted of a fiber reinforced resin composed of polyamide resin reinforced by a continuous fiber and/or long fiber reinforcing material. A resin layer containing a non-woven fabric may be provided at the inside, outside or/and in the middle of the fiber reinforced resin layer. Because of this structure, the tennis racket frame of the present invention can be light in weight and compact in size with a large periodic damping property, making it possible to avoid tennis elbow.
