Abstract: A tennis racket and a method of manufacturing same are disclosed. The racket comprises two half-frame members each provided with a respective generally annular portion defining a rim element of the racket, and also provided with a handle portion connected to the respective generally annular portion. The face of the racket is formed by a plurality of tensioned strings clamped between the annular portions to define a netting. The netting is secured to each of the rim elements of the respective half-frame members by binders, which also secure the two rim elements to one another. The strings are subjected to tension by a tensioning device before the two rim elements of the racket are pressed together to clamp the strings therebetween and the strings are secured to the rim elements and the latter to one another by binders, which have been applied to at least the mutually facing surface portions of the rim elements prior to their being pressed together.
