for location within a grommet recess in the racquet head, a plurality of apertures
(6a) through the spine (4) for alignment with string holes in the racquet head, longitudinally
extending integral beading (7) to either side of the spine (4) for at least partial
covering of the outer edges of the racquet head adjacent the grommet recess, and one
