Racquet

A racquet or racket is a sports implement consisting of a handled frame with an open hoop across which a network of cord is stretched. It is used for catching or striking a ball in tennis, racquet ball[?] and similar games.

The frame is traditionally made of wood, but most rackets are now made of synthetic ceramics or alloys.
