Rackets are one of the most common pieces of sports equipment that is used in a great variety of sports. Rackets seem very simple – structured as a handling frame with an open hoop, but can be very tricky to learn to finesse. Across the hoop frame (the shape of the hoop depends upon the kind of game) a network of chord is stretched to give a rebounding effect. The type of materials used will greatly affect that rebound effect and power.
Racket sports are very popular across the globe. For almost every game the purpose of the racket is the same. The racket is used against the ball (to hit it back to the opponent).
Rackets are used in recreational as well as professional sports like squash, lawn tennis, racquetball, lot-ball and badminton. Collectively these games are known as racket sports. Ideally, for many sports, the frame of the racket is made of wood or aluminum and the strings are made up of catgut. A wood frame racket is best suited for lawn tennis, and squash. Other racquets are made of different synthetic materials like carbon fiber, ceramics and other alloys (that provides extra strength and lightness).
