Abstract: An object is to provide a badminton racket capable of easily achieving different performance properties on both sides of the hitting surface easily. A racket includes a frame which extends annularly, a grip, and a string which is stretched across the frame to form a hitting surface on both sides of the frame. The frame is formed to make the front surface portion and the back surface portion thereof asymmetrical in shape in a cross sectional view taken along a plane orthogonal to the extension direction of the frame. The formation of the frame into such an asymmetrical shape makes it possible to change performance properties on shuttlecock hitting between the front and back sides of the hitting surface at the time of hitting the shuttlecock, thus making it possible for the player to obtain two difference capabilities with the single racket simply by changing his or her grip.

Abstract: An object is to make it possible for a single racket to present different design appearances easily. A racket includes a frame which extends annularly, a grip, and a string which is stretched across the frame to form a hitting surface on both sides of the frame. The frame and the shaft is provided with a first colored portion and a second colored portion. As the racket is viewed from a certain angle in a direction nonparallel and non-orthogonal to the hitting surface, the first colored portion appears visible while the second colored portion is hidden from view, and flipping the hitting surface from this state causes the second colored portion to appear visible and causes the first colored portion to be hidden from view.

Abstract: Performance of a racket can be adjusted. A racket includes a grip, an annular frame that is provided with a plurality of through holes that penetrate from an inner circumferential face to an outer circumferential face, and a shaft that connects the grip and the frame in a shaft axis direction, the frame having a rear end side attachment part, on the outer circumferential face of the frame and on a side closer to the shaft in the shaft axis direction, where there is mounted a rear end side attachment to which a string tensely provided to the frame is routed, and the rear end side attachment being made of a material different from the frame.
