Racket

Abstract

A racket includes a handle, a frame connected to the handle and having a longitudinal axis extending from and aligned with the handle, and a stringed web supported on the frame. The frame has two ends that are opposite to each other along the longitudinal axis. The stringed web is formed by a plurality of intersecting longitudinal strings and transversal strings defining a plurality of meshes. The longitudinal strings and the transversal strings together further define a primary ball-striking portion on a substantially central portion of the stringed web, and the meshes located in the primary ball-striking portion gradually increase in size in a direction from one of the two ends to the other one of the two ends of the frame.

1 . A racket for ball games comprising:
 a handle;   a frame connected to said handle and having a longitudinal axis extending from and aligned with said handle, said frame further having one end connected to said handle and another end opposite to said handle; and   a stringed web supported on said frame and formed by a plurality of longitudinal strings running generally parallel to said longitudinal axis and a plurality of transversal strings running generally perpendicular to said longitudinal axis and intersecting said longitudinal strings to define a plurality of meshes, said longitudinal strings and said transversal strings together further defining a primary ball-striking portion substantially on a central portion of said stringed web and a secondary ball-striking portion extending around said primary ball-striking portion;   wherein said meshes located in said primary ball-striking portion gradually decreases in size in a direction from said one end of said frame to said another end of said frame.   
   
   
       2 . The racket of  claim 1  wherein the distance between two adjacent ones of said transversal strings in said primary ball-striking portion gradually decreases in a direction from said one end to said another end of said frame. 
   
   
       3 . The racket of  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the distance between two adjacent ones of said longitudinal strings in said primary ball-striking portion gradually decreases in a direction from said one end to said another end of said frame.
