Strings for a tennis racket

Abstract

A tennis racket carries strings which have a material applied thereto which provides the strings with a tacky surface. In some forms the material can be a solution or a dry adhesive. In other forms the material can be hook-like which engages the loop-like surface of a tennis ball. As such, a tennis ball can be struck creating more RPM to impart spin to the ball.

1 . A tennis racket comprising a frame, a plurality of strings carried by said frame, and a material applied to said strings to improve the coefficient of friction of said strings thereby improving the striking ability of the racket. 
     
     
         2 . The tennis racket of  claim 1  wherein said material includes a rosin. 
     
     
         3 . The tennis racket of  claim 2  wherein said material includes an abrasive material. 
     
     
         4 . The tennis racket of  claim 1  wherein said material includes an array of hooks which are adapted to grip the surface of a tennis ball. 
     
     
         5 . A method of manufacturing strings for a tennis racket comprising the steps of applying a material to the strings thereby increasing the coefficient of friction of the strings and improving the results of the strings engaging a tennis ball by imparting spin to the tennis ball. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein the material includes a rosin. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6  wherein the material includes an abrasive material. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 5  wherein the material includes an array of hooks which are adapted to grip the surface of a tennis ball. 
     
     
         9 . An apparatus to be used for a tennis racket comprising a plurality of strings, and a material applies to said strings which improves the coefficient of friction of said strings thereby increasing the possibility of imparting spin to a ball when striking the ball. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9  wherein the material includes a rosin. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10  wherein the material includes an abrasive material. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 9  wherein said material includes an array of hooks which are adapted to grip the surface of a tennis ball.
