Abstract (en)
A sports racket (20) having a frame (10) comprising a top portion (1), two opposed sides (2), a throat (3), a shank portion (4), a handle (5), and a string network which has longitudinal string segments (7) and cross string segments (9), the frame (10) comprising an odd number of longitudinal strings and a longitudinal central string (21) coinciding with the central longitudinal axis (8) of the racket whereby the string segments, their anchoring with the frame thereabouts, arrangement of accessories and attachments in the frame, such as grommet strips and bumper guard, are positioned so as to be an exact mirror image with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the frame, thus enhancing the balance, power and handling of the racket due to the symmetrically balanced arrangements. <IMAGE>
