Racket

Abstract

A racket including: a handle; an annular frame having a plurality of through holes, and a groove section provided on an outer peripheral face of the frame along a circumferential direction of the frame; a shaft connecting the handle and the frame; and a string that passes through the through hole to the outside of the frame, and that is folded back on the groove section, wherein when either one of a longitudinal direction of the racket and a width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction on a hitting surface of the racket is defined as a first direction, a depth of a position at which the string is folded back at a second position in the first direction is smaller or less than a depth of a position at which the string is folded back at a first position in the first direction, the first position being located on the outer peripheral face of the frame, the second position being located on the outer peripheral face of the frame and outside of the first position in the first direction.

1 . A racket comprising:
 a handle;   an annular frame having
 a plurality of through holes, and 
 a groove section provided on an outer peripheral face of the frame along a circumferential direction of the frame; 
   a shaft connecting the handle and the frame; and   a string
 that passes through the through hole to the outside of the frame, and 
 that is folded back on the groove section, 
   
       wherein
 when either one of a longitudinal direction of the racket and a width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction on a hitting surface of the racket is defined as a first direction,
 a depth of a position at which the string is folded back at a second position in the first direction is smaller or less than a depth of a position at which the string is folded back at a first position in the first direction, 
 the first position being located on the outer peripheral face of the frame, 
 the second position being located on the outer peripheral face of the frame and outside of the first position in the first direction. 
 
 
     
     
         2 . A racket according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the position at which the string is folded back on the outer peripheral face of the frame becomes shallower in depth as it goes from a center of the frame to an end in the first direction.   
     
     
         3 . A racket according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the frame has substantially an elliptical shape, and   a position in an end in the longitudinal direction on the outer peripheral face of the frame at which the string is folded back at a center in the width direction is deeper in depth than a position in an end in the width direction on the outer peripheral face of the frame at which the string is folded back at a center in the longitudinal direction.
