    (57) A games racket frame (5) particularly for tennis has a novel stringing system in which individual holes are used for main- and cross-strings and the holes lie in one of two notional planes (1,2) parallel to the plane (3) of interlaced main- and cross-strings such that successive string ends enter holes positioned in different notional planes and for over two-thirds of the total number of main- and cross-strings both ends of each string go through holes in the same notional plane.
