Features and Applications of Tennis Racket

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study introduced tennis rackets and listed their categories firstly. The purpose was to analyze features of tennis racket. This study showed the influence of vibration mode on response of tennis rackets and Player sensitivity to changes in string tension in a tennis racket. Combining bounce of a tennis ball, made out the applications of tennis racket: a analysis of the ball and racket during first and second tennis serves.
