Description

BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The embodiments herein generally relate to a tennis racket and more particularly, a weighted tennis racket.

Description of the Related Art

Tennis is a sport played by almost all the age groups. A racket and a ball are used by a player to play the sport. Effectiveness of the game depends upon the skills of the player and quality of the racket. Better the quality of the racket, more would be the effectiveness of a shot. Conventional rackets are ineffective while hitting the ball due to less weight.

Accordingly, there remains a need for an efficient and a weighted tennis racket to improve the efficiency of a shot.

SUMMARY

In view of the foregoing, an embodiment herein provides a racket with a weight that includes: (i) an upper portion, (ii) a handle, and (iii) a butt. The upper portion includes a mesh of wires. The handle secures the weight. The butt couples to the handle at bottom portion of the handle.

In one embodiment, the racket is a tennis racket and the handle of the racket includes a hollow space that incorporates the weight. In another embodiment, the weight is removable and weighs from 1 lbs to 6 lbs. In another embodiment, the butt couples to the handle using threads and incorporates a spring to secure the weight.

In yet another aspect, a tennis racket with a removable weight is provided. The tennis racket includes: (i) an upper portion, (ii) a handle, and (iii) a butt. The upper portion includes a mesh of wires. The handle secures the removable weight in a hollow space. The butt couples to the handle at bottom portion of the handle using threads.

In one embodiment, the weight weighs from 1 lbs to 6 lbs. In another embodiment, the butt couples a spring to secure the weight.

These and other aspects of the embodiments herein will be better appreciated and understood when considered in conjunction with the following description and the accompanying drawings.

Many changes and modifications may be made within the scope of the embodiments herein without departing from the spirit thereof, and the embodiments herein include all such modifications.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The embodiments herein will be better understood from the following detailed description with reference to the drawings, in which:

FIG. 1A illustrates a diagrammatic representation of a racket with a weight added, according to an embodiment herein;

FIG. 1B illustrates a perspective view of the handle and the butt of the racket according to an embodiment herein; and

FIG. 1C illustrates an exploded view of the racket according to an embodiment herein.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The embodiments herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained more fully with reference to the non-limiting embodiments that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and detailed in the following description. Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the embodiments herein. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the embodiments herein. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.

As mentioned, there remains a need of a safe, cheap and an efficient racket to increase the strength and endurance in gripping the racket. Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1A through 1C, where similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the figures, there are shown preferred embodiments.

FIG. 1A illustrates a diagrammatic representation of a racket 100 with a weight 106 added, according to an embodiment herein. The racket 100 includes a handle 102, a butt 104 and a weight 106. A user holds the racket 100 from the handle 102. The butt 104 couples to the racket 100 at the bottom portion. In one embodiment, the butt 104 is coupled to the racket using threads. The handle 102 possesses a hollow space in the middle and incorporates a weight 106 inside the hollow space. In one embodiment, the weight 106 may weigh from 1 lbs (1 pound) to 6 lbs (6 pound).

FIG. 1B illustrates a perspective view of the handle 102 and the butt 104 of the racket 100 according to an embodiment herein. The handle 102 includes a hole 108, and internal threads 110. The hole 108 incorporates the weight 106. The butt 104 includes external threads 112. The butt 104 couples to the bottom portion of the handle 102 using the interlocking of the internal threads 110 with that of the external threads 112.

FIG. 1C illustrates an exploded view of the racket 100 according to an embodiment herein. The racket 100 includes an upper portion of the racket 100, a handle 102, and a butt 104. The upper portion of the racket 100 includes a mesh of wires (as shown in both FIGS. 1A and 1C). The handle 102 couples to the upper portion of the racket 100. The butt 104 couples a spring 116 attached to the external threads 112. The spring 116 keeps the weight 106 secured at a fixed position.

The weight increases the strength and endurance in grip, wrist, forearm, elbow, rotator cuff shoulder while at play. The weights can be removed and the racket can be used as a regular racket. The weight ranges from 1-6 lbs and is 1/32 of an inch smaller than the circumference of the hollow opening in the handle.

The foregoing description of the specific embodiments will so fully reveals the general nature of the embodiments herein that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily modify and/or adapt for various applications such specific embodiments without departing from the generic concept, and, therefore, such adaptations and modifications should and are intended to be comprehended within the meaning and range of equivalents of the disclosed embodiments. It is to be understood that the phraseology or terminology employed herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation. Therefore, while the embodiments herein have been described in terms of preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments herein can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
