Abstract

A fiber reinforced plastic racket frame advantageously usable for a tennis racket has a head portion accompanied with at least an elongated, relatively thin metallic protective member, which has cut-outs or meshes in the construction, formed integral with the outer surface layer of the fiber reinforced plastic envelope at the racket frame. Protection by this additional member assures enriched frictional resistance and reduced collapse of the head portion and presence of the meshes or cut-outs provides firm anchoring of the protective member to the envelope outer surface layer.
