Abstract:
A ventilated and shock absorbing racquet handle (10) for maintaining a cooler, drier grip and therefore, better control during play. The handle (10) includes a rigid tubular member (18) having a plurality of apertures (28) and a plurality of longitudinal ribs (20). The longitudinal rib portions (20) of the tubular member (18) are coaxially mounted on the handle shank (12) and are spaced apart from the shank (12) by interposed strips (52) of shock absorbing material. Thus, an interior passageway (24) is defined that permits air circulation within the handle. A leather wrapping (26) having a plurality of openings (30) is helically wrapped around the handle. The holes (30) of the leather wrapping (26) randomly communicate with the holes (28) in the tubular member (18) so as to permit communication of air currents and the inside of the handle.
