20140274494 | TENNIS RACQUET WITH ADJUSTABLE FRAME ISOLATION - The present invention is directed to a racquet design with an inner and outer frame connected by an isolation system. Uniquely adapted to tennis racquets, the natural motion of the inner frame relative to the outer frame upon impact of the tennis ball on the inner frame will generate spin when the ball contacts the inner frame. The relationship between the inner frame, outer frame and isolation system can control the spin imparted to the ball for a given tennis swing. The tuning of the isolators relative to conventional racquet characteristics will increase the amount of ball spin caused by conventional racquets. The invention also increases the accuracy of the tennis ball's trajectory. | 09-18-2014 |
